Kevin Dornberger---
« on: May 20, 2010, 05:11:42 AM »
And here I thought he wasn't a smart person.. Ohh wait but he is. Drives the USBC straight into ground, then takes over as WTBA President. Ohh and now he is able to release fun stuff like this to screw the USBC and our National tournament.

Side Note this is all over.. Wait for it... Wait.... Yup the fact that you are able to drink during squads. WTBA has a huge policy against that!! I said it in the very beginning when they first announced this damn new thing, that it was going to hurt in the end! Sure enough now it will take away some bowlers and only get worse I am sure.

Agreed Darth. Just a shame what USBC is becoming these days.

Have you attempted to post this info on the bowl.com message board yet?  I'm curious if it were to make it past the moderators.

The real funny thing is. I said HI to Mr. Dornberger as he was bowling in the USBC Open. So he was bowling in a tournament that was in violation of the rules of the Organization he heads. Hmmmmm. Notice there was no comment about the alcohol issue.

Haven't seen it posted as of yet.  I guess we can assume that USBC has no intention of having an open and honest debate about this decision, huh?

In addition, I guess we can assume that USBC has no intention of letting its members know that the event is not certified/approved by the WTBA.

I have to agree with you there. I did not post it in an inflammatory way either. I basically asked how the ruling would effect a group of bowlers I know from England. They bowl every year, and was wondering if USBC informed them, that they could face sanctions

I was kinda interested in the WTBA till I read on their site it is for bowlers in other countries.

Doesn't do me any good really.

Maybe it won't matter in another few years when Kev screws them over as well.

Is everyone allowed to participate in Bowl Expo?
USBC Open has been going on since Feb. Seems pretty crappy
if someone came over and bowled and gets banned at home.

I haven't posted this anywhere else as I just don't feel the need to read the rest of the BS forum's. All they have become are gossip forums. I do check on here from time to time. I saw this and I had to post it for all to read.

USBC won't acknowledge it because they claim this is a "trial run" for the alcohol being served. That they might not do it next year, they have yet to look at the impact it has or hasn't had as of yet.

WTBA is a great organization actually. They govern the playing rules for the rest of the world. Only the US has to have their own set of rules to go by, geeee imagine that!! Most all other countries and tournaments follow WTBA rules but of course our most prestigious tournament can't even play by these rules! Another gee imagine that!

Anyone else see a pattern here?!

PBA heading DOWN hill!
USBC heading DOWN hill!

International bowling on the UP RISE!

It is amazing that so many people don't even realize how many countries have bowling as a sport in their country. Europe is big, Asia, Japan, Thailand, Kuwait, Saudi Arabia, Bahrain (along with SOO many others). They have all managed to find a way to keep bowling above ground if not getting better. Yet our own organization can't even do it!

Perhaps we need to take a bit of advice from some outside sources. Ohhh but gee imagine that, isn't that the case with so many other things in this country?!?!

George, why should bowlers in the U.S. care whether WTBA sanctions the USBC (US!!!) Open Championships??????

So a few bowlers can't come from outside the U.S. to bowl?

Don't see that as a big deal ... and no slight intended at them.

Riggs,

Just seems like the international bowlers and organizations have their stuff together were here in the states we have nothing. What little we have is quickly becoming meaningless!

That is the typical US answer why should we conform to what THEY have. Well because what they are doing and what they have is working. What we have is crap! What we have is a an organization that has no clue and things that things like Sport Bowling Leagues is the wave of the future. REALLY?!?! You know as well as I do that is just the start and there are many other things that USBC has taken on or is doing that is just not the right direction for our sport.. uugghhh Hobby as some would say.

Riggs,

Seems to me you have missed the point.  Why hasn't USBC notified bowlers that their participation in the USBC Open could jeopardize their eligibility for WTBA events?

I have a couple of questions that hopefully someone can answer.

Is the WTPA the governing body that would run bowling in the Olympics?  Wasn't one of the reasons for the USBC forming to get all of the US bowling bodies organized into one because of the Olympics?
