Please be aware that if you are already a member and don’t enter your existing membership card number, it will issue you a new number. The local association office  or USBC will then have to merge your memberships together so that all of your averages will show under one ID #. CLICK HERE TO PURCHASE YOUR CARD ONLINE. DOUBLE CHECK that your membership was processed by looking up your information here on bowl.com. Membership expires JULY 31. Summer leagues and tournaments extending past July 31 may use 2025-26 membership until OCT. 1.  YOUTH MEMBERSHIP can be purchased online at BOWL.com, but local membership dues may still need to be collected. It is better if youth membership is purchased through youth leagues for local association’s to process so that local awards can be provided.

IMPORTANT RULES:

• Only a DRY TOWEL or SHAMMY is allowed to clean a bowling ball once USBC certified competition has begun (league or tournament).
• If only fingers are used, the thumb hole must be plugged and an “X” marked for the palm position.
• Youth must be aged 17 prior to the start of the season for their last year of youth eligibility.
• Youth turning 18 during their last season of competition must complete SafeSport online at SafeSport.org or else they cannot participate.
• The minimum age to join Adult Leagues is 18. No exceptions.

FOR LOCAL ASSOCIATIONS:

• Only certified league ending averages should be input for BOWL.com book averages NOT January 1 or May 31. Averages entered with these incorrect dates may jeopardize someone with their tournament entering average and get disqualified.
• All summer leagues MUST end by OCTOBER 1 and averages input into BOWL.com. Summer leagues that end after October 1, can continue as normal, but must re-certify on the back end as a new winter league. When the league ends, summer pinfall will be extracted and then winter averages entered.  SEE HANDOUT FOR MORE INFORMATION.
• Those associations entering youth averages. Please copy and paste the parent’s email address in the youth’s email field.

OUT OF SPECIFICATION. If it is found that a bowling ball is or is suspected of being out of specification, the bowler must be told by the tournament or league official to remove the ball from competition until it can be measured. If the ball is not removed or the bowler had prior knowledge of such, games are subject to forfeiture or disqualification. If the bowler had no prior knowledge, the games would not be subject to forfeiture, but the ball would not be able to be used until it meets specifications. How is this rule enforceable and what is the penalty for those who don’t comply? Once it is discovered that a bowler is using equipment which is not within specifications, the ball must be removed from competition and corrected before it can be used during certified competition. If the bowler uses a ball that is non-conforming with knowledge that it is out of specification, the scores are subject to forfeiture.
