What is wrong with the Leagues?
« on: April 30, 2010, 02:26:14 AM »
Too often I get on here and see that people are complaining about USBC and how they take awards away. I agree 100%. That is why there is talk about Leagues going unsanctioned Next year. What is the purpose anymore of having a sanctioned League? I want to know what people think would help Bowling. Do We need to go unsanctioned? Do We need better centers? My center gives a 10% Discount on Drinks, Etc, but thats it. Lanes are different every week. Manager has no idea what She is doing. And it is a AMF House. Give Me Your ideas that will help get people into Leagues? How can We get the numbers up?

Guys and gals,

Above and beyond the fact that sanctioning also guarantees (bonds) the treasurer, when the league officials (President, Vice-President, etc) follow all the rules for taking care of the money,
there's also all the rules and ball and lane standards that are part of the USBC sancitoning participation.

I'm the last one to have any love for what the USBC does and fails to do but there are lots of standards and procedures invovled in the rules.

Once you toss out USBC sanctioning, you toss out every rule that comes to your mind UNLESS your league writes it into your by-laws.

No sanctioning implies anyone can do anything, LITERALLY.

If you think it was bad trying to get the USBC to throw out or to punsih a sandbagger now, wait until you have no sanctioning. You can use any weight pins, do anything you want to your bowling balls. Heck, full contact bowling (no joking matter) is valid. Basically until someone puts a rule into your league by-laws, NOTHING is illegal. NOTHING!

Here where I live the Balls are loaded up. When a straight bowler's ball is hooking, you know something is wrong. I am all for helping Bowling. I love Bowling and have bowled for over 20 years.
