I just received an email from USBC:

From everyone at USBC, we hope you and your family are healthy and safe during these challenging times. As you likely know, the start of the 2020 Open and Women’s Championships has tentatively been moved back to May 23.


We will continue to follow guidance from public health officials in determining a time frame in which to hold the 2020 USBC Open Championships.


If the start date needs to move further back in the year, we want your input. We ask that you take a short one question survey and let us know your thoughts on what you expect will happen with your team’s entry if the tournament moves later in 2020. The survey should take less than 1 minute.


Survey participants will be entered for a chance to win one of several $50 gift cards.

The survey ask if the tournament was postponed to Sept 1 through Nov 1 would I;
1. Be bowling in Reno
2. See you next year


Not exactly those words, but kinda.


I've already registered for 2021, but Sept through Nov does not work for my teams. So 2 was the choice.

I didn’t read the update.  But only 37 percent of women want to bowl and it’s still going on?  Plus prize fund and brackets way down for financial reasons, so some of the big boys probably won’t bowl too.

However, I don’t have to worry about my previous post on balance holes, since after August 1st, no holes for everyone!
