I heard from a local bowler that just got back from Nationals that Columbia's Brand Manager, Chad Murphy, got caught trying to slip in with 3 PBA members. As soon sa they got done bowling they were DQ'd! Treats em' right.

How did they think they were going to get away with that? Nice move X-lax, try again next year.

Now if they could just do something about the SANDBAGGER leading all the Classified divisions it'd all be good!

Here is the part I don't understand....

The PBA is a membership club..

It is not a status of being a Professional Bowler.

What I mean is....

There are 100's of thousands of bowlers out there that meet the requirements of the PBA. They choose not to pay the membership fees and dues. Does this make them less of a "pro" bowler???

Why are people penalized for joining a group and paying dues?

It would be different if we were drafted and paid a salary to bowl.
In my opinion.... Only the EXEMPT players on tour are TRUE professionals. they are guaranteed money to bowl..

Does anybody agree??? Please post if you do because these rules need to be changed..

I agree, just because when the USBC was formed, they renamed it The USBC Open. Well, a true "open" tournament allows anyone to enter and bowl, for it is "open" to everyone. Look at the US Open. Anyone can bowl it. Professionals on any level, to amateurs ,to even a casual bowler, technically can bowl an "open" tournament. That is my only problem with it.

I think it equates to re-rating a bowler after he bowls. they didn't seek to break the rules, but when they were found to be in violation they were bounced according to the rules.
