Regional Question
« on: July 08, 2007, 01:06:27 PM »
I've been reading the PBA's FAQ and I see that you can't cash more than twice a season as a non-member, but does the rule apply that if you win a regional, you must get your PBA card?  I can't seem to find a clear yes or no on the site.

 Q: Do I have to join if I cash in a tournament?
A: PBA Tour Non-members may cash in an unlimited number of PBA Tour qualifying rounds but may only advance once per season. The U.S. Open and USBC Masters do not count as a cash on tour. PBA Regional Tour Non-members are allowed to cash twice during the calendar year without having to become a PBA member. If a player cashes twice and chooses to bowl again during the season he will be required to join if he cashes again and accepts the prize money. The Member/Non-Member Doubles event in each region does not count toward the two cash rule. PBA Senior Tour Non-members are allowed to cash once during the season (excluding the Senior U.S. Open and USBC Senior Masters) without having to become a PBA member. If a player cashes once and chooses to bowl again during the season he will be required to join if he cashes again and accepts the prize money.

Yeah, I saw that, but I know if you win on the PBA tour, you have to join, even if it's your first cashing, just curious to know if this is in effect for regionals.

I think if there was a difference between cashing in a regional event or winning one they would have clarified.  I'm just going with what I've read, I'm sure there are more qualified people to answer your question.

A cash is a cash, no matter if its a win or last cash. You are allowed to cash twice, then you have to join before you bowl again during that season. This does not count the member/non-member doubles events

Trust me, I'm not having to make that decision.  I'm just going to be bowling college this year, but I'm also going to go to some regionals and PBA tour stops this year and was just wondering what my options were, and trying to keep an eye out on what's happening.

Also, in the Southwest Region, we have a Non-Champions Regional, that any PBA Champions are not allowed to bowl in, the cash rule does not count for this tournament.  Same if your region has one.

Another question.

My Punisher has some hairline cracks going on around the fingers, one extends about 3 inches around the fingers like this--> (oo
 

Question is, if the ball is not split, nor does it have any pieces of the ball missing, just hairline cracks, will they allow the ball to be thrown, or is it more of a ball by ball basis?

Well, I guess that question is out now since the Punisher is toast.

Next question.  On the site, it says that payment will be processed 6 days in advance of the tournament.  When, and how, do I find out:

a) If I am for sure in the regional
b) Squad I bowl in

I think you could ask any of these questions to riggs on BR.  He is a regular on the Midwest Region Rick.  He'll fill you in.

No....you don't have to join.  It counts as a cash and you don't get credit for a title.  No banner...

But you don't have to join.

First of all good luck.
To see if your in.
Just check the roster on www.pba.com.
If no roster list is posted try getting a hold of Rich Weber.
I'm sure his contact info is also posted in the PBA website.

Also i'd double check your equipment woth your proshop guy to make sure it all weighs up legal.
Can't remember if PBA weight/ball restrictions are that much different from USBC specs.
--------------------
If it doesn't have RG stamped on it.
Just leave it in the car or at home.
