All this talk about some radical new rules has been very interesting to me as a large center assistant manager BUT...the bottom line is that leagues just won't sanction to avoid the rules they don't like, especially the balance hole one.

I am not sure how I feel yet about the new rules but what I said above was just what guys were telling me at the center where I work tonight. Anyone agree or disagree?

you know...from the business side. We could actually just still follw the basic rules of USBC...but allow those leagues to continue playing on the same league shot they play on while not sanctioning many of the leagues.

There is always the chance that the BPAA, center owners, individual leagues, or ball manufacturers will simply ignore any new USBC rules and go their own way. Any changes the USBC makes - if not backed by the BPAA and center owners OR if not backed en masse by the bowling populous - run the risk of estranging the USBC from the bowling public.

Getting bowling back to its glory days is a monumental task by anyone's standards. I've taken a pretty strong stand on what needs to be done and there are others like Stanski and Liquid Tension that make good arguments against the nature and/or rate of changes as proposed. It is probably in the best interest of everyone involved to make the changes slowly as appropriate (Rome wasn't built in a day), which may be why the USBC is proposing equipment restrictions before anything else. It is a small step, but it is a step.

Also lets not forget what USBC/ABC provides to all there leagues is Bonding and insurance for loss for prize fund.

Perfect example of what happened to one league this year. They decided against sanctioning with the replacement body for ABC in canada CTF, well Ctf charges the same as the ABC did, providing basically the same services, with a few exceptions. the leagues didn't sanction and they bought outside insurance to bond there prize funds. well they saved a few dollars there but then the unexpected happened.Some bowlers shot honour scores. Well now the league is buying rings for the bowlers that shot the honour scores out of there prize fund.

They have now paid more for the private insurance and the rings to award the bowlers that shot honour scores.

Usbc provides organization and order to the game on a multi-level basis. That's why i support USBC and CTF. I don't how ever support the new equipment rules.
