The USBC organization exist primarily to regulate and govern the sport not to give out awards. That is why yuo sanction.

They should have cut back to one lifetime award a long time ago. and They should even eliminate the 11 in row plaques.

Good, maybe the money they save can be put to good use through sponsorships and added prize funds to the tour and USBC tournaments itself.  Anything to help the sport's progression.  Maybe now people will realize that scores are not everything and do not equate to greatness.  It's not like you don't get an award to impress all of your good buddies with, you still get a plaque.  Save the rings for the 300s/800s/900s.  I hope they just put the money they're saving to a good use.

For me, I have an 11 in a row plaque so no big deal, but for most guys I bowl with it would be a big deal if they didn't get a plaque.  I kind of like the idea of getting each award once in a lifetime.

If this is true, it's rediculous, and a slap in the face to the average Joe Bowler. Personally, I don't care if I ever get another award from the USBC, But I feel bad for the guys bowling a couple nights a week that have never had one!
