Need help concerning AWARD rings
« on: February 11, 2004, 05:41:24 AM »
I've looked for the answer to this question and can't find any literature on it and my bowling alley doesn't know their butt from a hole in the ground and I called the Phone Number that's on the ABC Award Form but couldn't get an answer, so I'm wondering if any of you that have shot honor scores might know what I need to do?

I know that if you shoot say 2-800's or 2-300's or 2-299's in the same year, that you only get one ring... but how does that run (meaning, is it January to January... March to March... August to August... December to December... etc...)???

Somebody told me that you could actually shoot 2-300's or 2-800's in the same week and still get 2 rings as long as the 1st one came BEFORE the deadline and the 2nd one came AFTER the deadline. For example if the deadline was December 7, and you shot one on the 5th and then one on the 8th then you would get 2 rings instead of just 1 ring... is that true???

If that's true, then what date is that deadline on?


I shot 800 on August 14, 2003 and then shot 803 about 6 months later on February 4, 2004. So can I get another ring or do I have to get something like a Plaque for my 2nd one? I think the Plaques are like $45.00 aren't they?



Thanks!

Ric, ABC rules are clear on this. The calendar year runs from August 1 through July 31, see Rule 51. Go to bowl.com and look at rules. In your scenario your 2nd 800 will be recognized by the ABC but it is not eligible for an additional award.

you can get one per season which runs from SEPT to Sept. The series you shot in August 03 would be in the 2002-2003 season. the series in Feb 04 would be in the 2003-2004 season.

I have a question as well.  I shot a 300 and 800 and 298 right before christmas and marked the box that says to send information on pricing for upgrades.  How long does it take to get the information cause my parents are starting to wonder bout it and they want to make sure nothing went wrong since these are my first adult honor scores

Find out when your league secretary sent in the award application. You should have an answer in 4-6 weeks after the secretary sends in the information.  Just so you know, the upgrades ain't cheap! Especially the leather jacket, if they still offer it.

You are still at the outer edge of the normal time frame.  You can also send an e-mail to award@bowlinginc.com    

I would probably give it a week or two before sending an e-mail to check on the status of your award.

Yep. I know the end of season rule very well. I shot my only 300 so far on July 29, 2002. After I shot the 300, my association secretary let me know that if I were to shoot one on Friday of that week, I'd get another ring.
