Adult High Score Award Changes for 2014-2015 Season

Starting August 1, 2014, the high score awards given to United States Bowling Congress adult members for a 300 game, 800 series or 900 series will become once-in-a-lifetime awards. This change comes as part of USBC’s strategy to focus resources on national governing body services.  As part of the change to the high score awards program, any USBC member who received an award in one of the high score achievement categories as an adult prior to August 1, 2014, will not receive an award for that achievement again. The 11-in-a-row award also will be eliminated as part of the changes.

For more information, please see the “USBC to change adult high score awards in 2014-2015” article on bowl.com.
