As far as dues go, they will still need to be renewed for the 2021-2022 season in August. There has been no mention that I could find of any sort of grace period or free extension.
Bowl.com did provide some free content, such as free live streaming of PWBA qualifying events. The USBC was also operating during the pandemic to provide some rules modifications and resource materials for leagues to assist as centers reopened.
Not all centers in all states were totally shut down. We have had sanctioned leagues and tournaments here for the past 8 months. It wouldn't necessarily be equitable for the USBC to tell some bowlers that their membership is being extended, while everyone else has to pay because they were still bowling. Besides, the sanction fee amounts to $0.35/week. Hardly worth getting upset about.
