Title: USBC Nationals Payout?
Post by: Silencer on July 31, 2007, 08:18:44 PM
This year was my first year bowling nationals so I was wondering, how long does it usually take since the tournament is completed, for the checks to get in the mail?

Don't spend it all in one place. It really can be life changing dough.

Over on the forum on bowl.com, it's been reported that there has a been a protest filed, and checks will not be sent out until it is settled. The spokesman for USBC says it will probably be at least a week late, if not more. A message will be sent as soon as the checks are in the mail.

Yep.  I believe the protest is against the team that won.  The winner of the team event for whatever the reason, requested to be moved to a pair of lanes where they would be bowling by themselves.  They did not bowl on their assigned lanes.  It just sucks that because of this, that noe everyone has to wait until it is settled to get their money.  No teling how long it will take.

I think you are wrong about the protest.
Another team had a former EXEMPT player on it.
Problem was he bowled too early after coming off of the national tour.

If it doesn't have RG stamped on it.
Just leave it in the car or at home.

I've got over $1k comin, but in all seriousness, I don't blame them for protesting, it seems as though the first place team may have potentially gotten there via unfair circumstances...but, even if that is determined, what are they going to do, DQ them and move everybody up a spot?

I heard there was an issue with a guy that came in Top 50 in All-Events in which he bowled Teams one weekend, bowled Doubles another weekend, and bowled Singles a different weekend.  Not sure how this happened, but that's going through the rumor mill as well.

--------------------
Why does everyone try to make it harder than it really is?  Overthinking makes the game that much more difficult.

Ok.  Here is the deal with this.

IF it is the guy that I am thinking of filing the protest, he sponsored at least 2 of the guys that I know of on that second place team.  I am aware of this because those 2 are from my hometown and bowl in my league on Wednesday Night.  What happened, was that Lava Lanes apparently looked at the lane assignments before their squad and noticed that there were some open pairs available.  They went to the Tournament Officials and stated that they wanted to get done a little earlier, as they were bowling a late squad. So they wanted to know if they could switch to an open pair and bowl by themselves.  They were allowed to make the switch by the official and it just so happened that they took the lead in Regular Team Event.  Before I went out to Reno to bowl (middle-end of June), I was sitting in his office as he was backing me in brackets.  He was on the phone with both Reno and USBC in Wisconsin, I believe, saying that if teams are allowed to switch pairs for the heck of it, then that opens up all 15000+ teams to be able to do the same thing and wanted to know if they were prepared for such a thing.  If and only if the original pair had a break down or other extenuating circumstances could switching pairs actually be allowed. Of course, if the team had finished way down the list, this may not have taken place.  But, being that they were in the lead with only a couple weeks to go in the tournament, this means less money and the prestige that comes with owning an Eagle.

That is what I know about the situation.  I am not 100% sure that my sponsor is the one doing the protest.  But, I do know that he has been in contact with USBC about the issue stated above.

As far as I know, the 2nd place team is protesting about Lava Lanes over another item as the USBC has pretty much said that Lava Lanes did nothing wrong as per the rules that were set up at the time as far as the lanes switching. Now obviously things will be looked at from here on out but again, I'm pretty sure this is over another item between the two teams.

Post by: Silencer on August 02, 2007, 04:04:25 AM
thank you for all the responses. My guess is in the end USBC will not do anything and the first place team will stay in first place. If they let Robert Mushtare get 2 900's sanctioned when they knew it was cheating, this should be no problem.

I wonder if my team can pre-bowl for next year so we don't have to go to NM. coughdustbowlcough. Hmm anyone know what 5 x 900 is?
Title: Re: USBC Nationals Payout?
Post by: Platinum Bowler on August 04, 2007, 05:55:31 PM
Yeah, I definitely have been patiently waiting for this check to come in, haha. And then when I saw this protest thing come up, I was like, "craaaaaaap!" Anyways, I have been good. Hardly been bowling. Got really frustrated with it, and I do not know why. I wasn't bowling bad or anything, I guess just burnt out. I haven't touched a ball in two months, and it has been great! I will probably bowl just one league this winter, and that only being because Savannah wants to bowl something with me. How have you been? How's Candice? It definitely is different now, being out of juniors, and never seeing anyone...

HAHA, yea I know what you mean on getting burnt out, I had that problem from juniors. Candice and I are good, shes pretty busy with school and work all the time. As for me, I haven't bowled in 2 months either, but not by choice. I don't know if Shelby told ya, but my hand got hurt at work, got caught in a bar b q, sliced my hand in half basically, chopping my tendon directly in half. 2 surgeries and 25 stitches later, I am slowly getting back my hand, gonig to physical therapy and all that stuff. I should hopefully be able to being bowling in a few weeks to get ready in time for winter leagues. We should have some big party or get together before the end of summer, would be pretty cool. Give me a call sometime.
