A possible solution for the PBA
« on: November 24, 2010, 04:00:28 AM »
Just an idea. I'm not sure this is original even.

 Would the PBA benefit joining with the USBC membership on a Tour that would include both a male version and a female version? Say have a $5.00 fee added to the dues and give the bowling public ownership under USBC guidance? Having the money go toward prize funds. This might be simplistic but it would generate money needed for the PBA to grow? You could have both the tours in the same city at the same time on certain dates and have the winner of their respective events bowl against each other. Many possiblities.

Sorry Charlie,,I mean Charlest, I will have to agree to disagree that the USBC is totally inept. The move to Texas is matter of opinion but agree it didn't have to happen. The USBC is trying to keep Team USA alive in the bowling world and would believe the competitors would benefit with a PBA tour to exist as well as bowling future. No tour the league system will die faster than it currently is. We all will be sitting around in the winter and wishing for a night out with the guys or gals like the old days of the bowling league...

  As far as Tom Clark and expenses, Any organization would expect some one representing them at the tournaments and pay for their expenses. That would make sense. Like him or not he is the face of the PBA.

The host fees are already rediculous just on the regional level, not to mention the exempt tour. What center in your area is gonna pay the PBA to basically shut down for a week while holding a tournament? I know they(PBA) needs to turn a profit, but so does the center!

The first step for the PBA needs to be addressing these out of site hosting fees, as well as product registration fees. At the rate they charge for product fees, they could at least let the announcers ask questions and comment on the products the pros are using on tv.

I know here in the South region, they have started non-champion regional tournaments that are a lot less expensive for centers to host. The only drawback is just that, no PBA champions can bowl. Now the problem with this program is this, as of right now the next regular regional on schedule is in April of 2011. So the champions in the South Region basically have the rest of the year off.

If the USBC would front the prize money then it would free up money for the centers to get paid from the PBA, would it not?

No offense, but bowling was popular long before the PBA - likely it will outlive it as well.

Many and myself has asked this question years ago and it will never happen. USBC will continue to be a money hog organization that doesn't care about good bowlers and could care less about the PBA.

It doesn't help that they have like 30+ people has "Directors" of whatever. Seriously, they joined everyone together to eliminate waste and only created more. They run that place like a government agency. I guess when you no longer have a job as a pro-bowler that is the place to get a great paying desk job.

See the USBC is supporting the PBA/WPBA.

The PBA is a private owned entity.  How would the present owners be com-
pensated?  It has to die its death before your idea can even be considered.

PBA needs a rivalry or 2, with fist pumping in your face dramatic drama. Get some young gun out there to start talking crap to "say" Patrick Allen ( one of the best ever smack talkers) and then he will need to get right back in the young mans face. And when these rivalries make a telecast together the PBA needs to promote it.

No you dont need nice guys on the lanes, but you sure do need them off the lanes, they need to be courteous and well mannered when talking to the pro-am bowlers.

As far as asking all league bowlers to pony up additional funds to feed to USBC, that wont work, you''ll see more leagues just bowling without sanctioning, and local associations just keeping all the monies themselves and handing out awards. Which really isn''t that far away from happening

Grudge--you are wrong.  It is much more complicated than that.

Since were going this route, your f#cking stupid if you think that USBC members should pay anything to the PBA to make them more money. Next we can add an extra dollar to support other failing business as well. (including the USBC) They have a horrible product on TV. If they continue putting out a product that no one wants then they get what they deserve. It is a business, if your business is miss managed to the point it is no longer needed then when it goes out of business the problem is solved.

You can still feel free to send the PBA check.

Are you serious?????

So by your rambling what you are saying is that the USBC should have left the dues at $12 (can I remind you that this covers an ENTIRE YEAR) AND continue give out more awards and prizes as the number of honor score skyrocket?

Just like everything else in the world the price has to go up with time because guess what, costs also go up.  Incredible how that works.

You honestly call an $8 increase over what 5 or 10 years a "jump?"  Let me ask you, does bread still cost $0.25 like it did in the 1940s?  Is gas still under $1 like it was in the 1980s?  

Also do yourself a favor to show yourself how stupid you are.  Look up the number of honor score in 1980 (you can even stick to strictly 300s and 800s) then do the same for 2009.  On this alone tell me how USBC could honestly NOT raise the dues as you seem to suggest.

If you've ever been to ANY sporting event in which you've paid to get in, then you need to STFU because you're nothing but a hypocrite and your argument no longer holds water.  

You probably have no problem paying $100+ for a baseball game, but Godforbid 2 million members are asked to put up $1 over an entire year to actually get some validity back into a PBA prize fund.

Your asking 2 million+ people to pay for an event that they are not attending???

 If they need money that bad beg for it on TV. Don't ask another business(USBC) to have its members give money.

Do the Lakers charge an extra $1 to give to the LA Galaxy?

That is how stupid your suggestion is. It isn't even close to the same.

Why not ask the AARP to charge its members an extra $1 to go in as well.
