The whole 900 situation
« on: January 02, 2006, 09:01:14 PM »
Catch me up, I don't feel like surfing through all the comments in the other posts to see what's going on, lol.  Has the first one been approved?  Did they determine there was indeed some foul play going on?  Enlighten me.

Puh-leeze.

If they approved one where the guy bowled all by himself with no one watching while he was pre- or post-bowling for a league, they'll approve absolutely anything.

From what I understood, approving honor scores is just a formality anymore, isn't it?

 I never see anyone check the lanes after a 300 or an 800. All I ever see is the paperwork filled out and the centers papres checked to see if they are certified. I thought that if you shot an honor score in a center where the lanes were certified, that it got passed automatically and that any sanctions would be held against the center for running an "illegal" shot.

 I could be wrong, but unless they are just checking his equipment, or verifying that it was actually done, I thought U.S.B.C. approval of honor scores was just a formality.

A decision has been made by the USBC and will be announced Thursday or Friday !!! According to the USBC only ONE 900 has been claimed and it was prebowled !! A friend of mine who is a sports writer for the Washington Post talked to Mike Miller of the USBC.

The only 900 that was submitted was rejected by the USBC for two reasons:

1) The league wasn't sanctioned.
2) Mushtare wasn't a member.

So, basically, they didn't even check the series because, as far as the USBC is concerned, it was bowled in practice.

Storm has stopped the front page focus on the 900. Now, I'm just waiting for them to post an article that is was denied.

Yes, but a second 900 was submitted to USBC and it is being reviewed by them.  This one was supposedly bowled after the league sanction paperwork was submitted.

Found this on the bowl.com forums:

Robert Mushtare is a superb bowler and an outstanding young man.  Humble, responsible and respected in his school and community, Mushtare will go far.  I was not in attendance for his Nov 18th 900, but I was at his December 10th 900 which he bowled after completing his league's regual 3 game series for the day.  The Fort Drum Youth League allows in thier rules pre-bowling because as children of Army soldiers stationed at Fort Drum the league recognizes that family schedules sometimes conflict with Saturday morning league bowling.  Better to allow kids the opportunity to pre-bowl rather than miss out and let their team down with the bolwer's handicap, less 10 pin penalty for absences.  My eldest daughter bowls with Robert and on December 10th he queitly rolled 36 strikes in his second 900 game.  I watched his 1st 300 game that day and decided to move back to my other daughters down the lanes because I thought witnessing one 300 was amazing enough.  The USBC needs to repeal thier intial ruling.  Mustare is good for the game and the USBC will be courting him in the near future as a role model of American bowling.  Then need not start out on the wrong foot.

Gary--I've been following this but because someone behind an internet ID and a keyboard says he/she saw Mr. Mushtare roll these scores does not make it true.  I think, I'll wait to see if USBC allows or does not allow them/it.

Sounds fishy to me.  You mean to tell me that someone shot 900 twice in a month, or however long it was.  I have been a victim of the sanctioning rules, as a junior I shot 299 while pre-bowling and while the scores counted for the league, I received no awards from what was known as YABA back then, and this was in 1992 when it was still semi-rare for junior bowlers to shoot 299.  I can almost see the beef with the first 900, but who is good enough at 17 to shoot 900 twice.  Either the lanes or the ball are not legal, besides that if you are not a USBC member, you do not receive USBC awards, plain and simple.
