Have and would in the past. Another great example of why it is best to use Bowl.com for average verification. In the "old" days of only printed books the bowler would have ended up being disqualified since nothing would have been checked until after the tournament was over. My policy now, since bowl.com, is to check every entry before the confirmations are mailed and rerate or correct were needed. Only substitutions are not checked and if I am given time to do so at the event and internet access will check those prior to start of bowling as well. I now use the composite if higher too and that is only available on the web. USBC actually suggested last year at the convention to the associations to stop printing books to save money and eliminate confusion or mistakes.

319a. Conditions that Apply

The following conditions apply to averages in handicap or classified tournaments, unless the 

tournament rules state otherwise, except that only USBC league averages shall be accepted. (See 

Rule 319c for average adjustment.)

1. Individual averages must be based on a minimum of 21 games in a USBC league. 

2. When the previous season’s average is used, and at the time of bowling an entrant has a 

current average for 21 or more games that is 10 pins or more higher than the prior season’s 

average, the current average must be used. 

3. Bowlers are responsible for verifying his/her own average, whether submitted by the bowler, 

the team captain or others. If the submitted average is lower than required and results in a 

lower classification or more handicap, the bowler’s score is disqualified. If the submitted 

average is higher than required, prize winnings will be based on the submitted average. In the 

case of a team of two or more bowlers, the averages will be combined to determine if the 

correct total is higher or lower than the submitted total. 

4. Average corrections can be made up to the end of the bowler’s first game of a series. Or, if an 

extension of time has been granted in writing by tournament management before the end of 

the first game of a series, the correction can be made within 48 hours after the end of the 

series.

5. When an association publishes a yearbook, a tournament using previous season averages to 

determine handicap or classification, shall use the yearbook to verify averages, if furnished, 

and not require the association to verify averages from that association.
