Looks like it was only denied because his paperwork wasn't turned in on time.  Unless they had proof of cheating, they would have had a real difficult time disallowing the series.  Seems like the USBC is as lucky as the BCS in college football.  The systems work in spite of the rules, not because of them.

bingo. If the series had been rejected due to other than administrative reasons, it would be very good for the sport. As it is, it's like "neener, neener, neener..."

Good thing that the series was not approved beacsue it was no official league play. Good thing, IMHO. But I think that rejecting the 900 because of a late membership card is a shame (although it is just on top). And a pity that nobody mentions the lane conditions... although this might have been hard to judge and prove.

At least, some justice! But the PR for the boy and his father's lane is tremendous, though...
