One young man here in Hemet,CA made it all the way to the state finals in the Pepsi youth bowling Championship that where held recently in Daly City CA. This young man bowled very well and qualified for the top 4 roll off in the 12 and over handicap division. He qualified 3rd and at the time thought that he had also qualified for the national championships in New York. He ends up losing his match and falls to 4th place which still entitles him to go to new York. This young man gets a phone call last week by the USBC and informs him of the following: That he is NO LONGER going to represent California in New York due to a change in the final results. Another young man bowled the state finals and was DQed due to some issue with his certification. There was an appeal made to the national USBC and his DQ was overturned. This young man bowled very well also, he would have led the state finals. So the USBC made the ruling that the final standings would use the roll off results and place the leader (who got dq) 2nd because in the step ladder finals that is the worst he could have finished. Dropping the person in second to third, and the person in third to 4th, and then the kid from Hemet 5th because he lost his match and now cant go to new York. THEY USED THE ROLL OFF RESULTS THAT A KID DID NOT EVEN BOWL IN TO CHANGE THE FINAL STANDINGS! THIS IS THE MOST INCOMPITANT RULING THEY COULD HAVE MADE! THE YOUNG MAN FROM HEMET WOULD HAVE STILL BEEN 4TH IN THE ROLL OFF AND THATS THE WORST HE COULD HAVE FINISHED AND IS NOT GOING BECAUSE USBC IS A JOKE!!! WAY TO GO USBC, WAY TO ROB A KID OF GOING TO AN EVENT HE EARNED. WAY TO KEEP THEM INTRESTED, WAY TO KEEP MORAL UP, WAY TO JUST BE A JOKE! AND YOU WONDER WHY NOBODY WANTS TO BOWL WITH YOU!!!!!!!!!!!!
