Averages

National ID Number

The association manager of a local association is required to provide all league secretaries with the National ID number of each participant in the league by the end of each league schedule or the association cutoff date for submission of averages, as determined by the board.

The easiest way for the association manager to accomplish this is to print an updated league roster from WinLABS (adults)/on-line processing (youth) (which includes the bowlers’ National ID numbers), and distribute it to the league secretaries.

This requirement will allow the league secretary to enter the National ID numbers into his/her league secretary software and maintain the information season-to-season. As a result, this will help eliminate multiple ID numbers due to nicknames and same name confusion (i.e., two individuals in a league with similar names, including Jr., Sr., II, and III) in the future.

It may be advantageous to provide a handout/flyer outlining this requirement at the annual league secretaries meeting.

Average Listing

Using WinLABS or the on-line youth processing system, the association must maintain an average listing of all members of the association that have bowled at least 21 games. The average listing could be in print or in an electronic format; however it must be readily available. For instance, the listing could be in the form of a yearbook, posted on the association Web site or posted at bowling centers. Refer to Chapter 5, Section B, Item 15 of the USBC Association Policy Manual for information regarding what must be documented in the average listing.

Where can I find a member’s league average on bowl.com?

You can find averages for USBC members on bowl.com using the “Find a member” feature on the top right portion of the page:

Average information has been updated on bowl.com. Information for each member now includes all association members, league averages and personal accomplishments. The averages on bowl.com are the averages (21 games minimum) reported by the league as of the date specified by the local association. It still remains the responsibility of the bowler to verify that the average they have submitted is in compliance with the competition rules (Rule 319a(3)).
