USBC proposes fee increase
« on: January 13, 2016, 05:06:42 PM »
One of the proposals for USBC rules changes is to increase the national dues from $10 to $15.  The proposal specifically says there will be no change to the awards policy.  --  JohnP

You are the idiot. Just because they want an increase doesn't mean we bend over and give it to them. What is in return for the increase? It goes in someone's pocket? Next year we won't be a sanctioned league. They do next to nothing as is.

Aren't you one of the people here drooling over the next new ball? And $5 is a problem? Good luck with that unsanctioned league. I'm sure there won't be an issues with the money.

I would absolutely sign up for an increase if leadership at the USBC is going to be accountable for the results of these programs. And don't tell me we won't know for twenty years until the next generation of bowlers come through...that's bs. You want money for the PWBA, show me how it benefits membership and not just the 75 ladies that want to bowl on tour. You want money for marketing, show me some evidence our marketing firm actually has a clue and not just putting another logo on a race car.

You are aware that it's $5, per year. Right?

It's $5, per year. If you have that big of an issue with it, perhaps you should find something else to do with your free time.

Not happening even if they offered. Bowlers are way to big of a pain in the ass. Present company included obviously.

this little bicker in this forum is precisely why they (USBC) has trouble getting anything to due with money passed.

Each individual bowler wants to know what he/she gets for their $5 increase.

You know what?  You personally may not get a single thing. 

But some aspect of bowling will receive that money.  It won't be to give everyone raises.  Tell that joke to all the USBC people who have lost their job in the past few years.

Some posters are typing accountability and integrity.  To whom?  The 10% of us who average over 200.  Or to the 75% of the membership who bowls a couples league once a week with their wife/friends.  Because that's the bulk of the membership.

News flash:  It's not about you or I personally.  USBC has over a million members still.  And it's about the group.  Not what you get.  Because what they offer you and I, they offer to every other member. 

For those of you with kids, when you pay your band fees, or contest fees, or sports fees, do you ask what do I get for that money?  Or is it just the cost of participation?  And you have that choice to quit. 

I think we all get tired of the bitching.

Where is the money going and what is the increase for? If you get a straight answer, please post it here. Because the reps in my local associations can't.

I can help you. It's going to USBC and it's to help with operating costs. Now I know no more than anyone else here, but I can understand there have been no increases in 10 years.

Again, it's $5 PER YEAR. Skip Starbucks tomorrow morning and it's done.

Hey guys I don't a track record of successfully promoting/increasing membership but I got some ideas and I want everyone to send $5 to my paypal account. I can assure you every dollar will go towards a great program. I'm sure miloraffeety is in, it's only $5...who else is in!

Whether you give to me or to them the result would be the same...you would have no idea where your money went and membership will still decline.
