It used to be that if you sanctioned for a summer league, it was good for the following fall and summer, then you renewed every fall from there. New summer bowlers don't get that freebie any longer.Originally Posted by vdubtx
updated 300 info: Here's the current info over 50,000 perfect 300 games are being submitted and approved every season.
In regards to 300 rings.
You use to get a solid gold ring for a 300 every time you shot one. But they quit doing that and changed to siladium because of the high price of gold and the increased number of 300's being shot. (But you had the option to get gold if you pay for the gold)
For now you can get one 300 award during a fiscal year (August 1-July 31). The 300 rings will go to once a lifetime starting in 2014-15. But if you want another one you can still buy it.
My thought is quit comparing today to what it was 10-20-30-40-50 years ago, you can't get a cup of coffee for a nickel anymore and it's not likely to change back.
So go out and bowl your first 300 and get your once in a lifetime award and enjoy it, just don’t expect one every time you shoot one.

You may be right. That was something I had heard but never confirmed. I sure hope what I heard was wrong, but it's ridiculous to pay for a sanction fee for both summer and winter.
Correct, my statement reflects this current practice.
Agreed. Since I have started taking summers off I wouldn't want to pay a sanction fee to sub for someone if they asked me to, then again a month or two later for fall.

Ooooo....I did not know that. Bowl1820 is wiser than the average bear me thinks.
DAMN!! $875??!!! Stupid gold prices. This makes me sick that I lost my 14k gold class ring. That dang ring is probably worth $240.
I don't drink coffee, so I don't really care. : ) I agree, I'm just saying that 300 games are like cash prizes. If you could pay a quarter to enter a raffle to win $50, would you? Probably not. But in 1960...$50 was a lot more money...so you probably would have. Same with 300 games...people get them now and wonder why it's not given the same "honor" as it once was....it's because since there's 10x as many...you get 1/10th the honor. Thats the penalty for it being easier to achieve. Thats just my take on it. I'll have a formal opinion when I actually roll one...hopefully this week. : )

If you are sanctioned this Fall/Winter season, you will be able to sub in a sanctioned league next summer. In other words the membership is good for one year.

I tried to join a Thursday night league at the Brunswick Zone right by my house, as an individual, no team.
The center's manager said he would work with me and the established teams to try and find me a spot.
He gave one guy my phone number, and this team captain called me up.
Since my pro shot average was 155, that wasn't high enough for there team to stay competitive on a THS league.
I was able to find a team at a different center, but I must admit that was a little frustrating.
what was your ths avg if ur pro shot is 155 i am rough guessing house shot 180-190 confused how thats not high enough,,,

According to USBC, a 155 sport average is equivalent to a 179 house average. Most of the leagues I know wouldn't turn away a bowler with a pulse, let alone some one with an average that good.
The captain made the mistake of just looking at the average. If it's a league with a team cap, he's probably trying to get the sum of the team's averages as close to the cap as possible. Statistically that's gives you the best chance at winning the league. What he's ignoring is that someone who has a sport league average is likely to improve over the course of the season. Our fellow BowlingBoards member may start out at 179 and may very well end up averaging in the 190s. As he improves he will be shooting over his average most of the time giving his team an advantage.
