MOTIV signs for National PBA registration

[Motiv Girl]

We just signed with PBA for the All-Tour Competition program. We're going national baby!
Thank you MOTIV.

So does this mean Motiv is finally PBA certified

[Motiv Girl]

Yes.That is correct!

[oregonbowler]

That pretty much makes my day! In my house i get a lot of dirty looks for bowling with Motiv and destroying people with other equipment and their excuse is that my ball isnt even pba certified because they think their must be something wrong with it even though it is usbc certified so this is gonna be great for me.

That news pretty much made a lot of bowlers day.

How is the All-Tour Competition status that Motiv & 900 Global have different from the Full Registration status that Track (and others) have? It seems like All-Tour Competition is one step down?

The Professional Bowlers Association has announced its roster of Registered Product Companies for the 2011-12 season. Companies enrolled in the PBA program are eligible to have their brand-name products used in PBA competition, and logos and/or other product identification displayed.

“Limited” registration means a maximum of seven players, including regional and Senior Tour players, may wear that brand’s logo in competition. “Grassroots” means products may be used only in PBA regional or Senior Tour competition. "Special" registration allows players to wear the logo only if any incentive is posted or if a player is under contract with the company.

Brands registering at “Full” in the bowling ball or shoe category are also guaranteed a rotation of Dorna signage on any show that has Dorna, and each will receive three logo placements on jerseys instead of two.

Brands registering at “Full” in the bowling ball or shoe category also receive the following benefits. Assignments of entitlements and special features for all eligible brands will be determined in a special draft during the World Series of Bowling:

Regional/Senior Tour
Each brand will receive title to one event in each of the seven regions and title to one Senior Tour event each season. Brands are encouraged to hold clinics/ball demonstrations at each tournament and will have rights to the pro-am ball, if one is offered.

Xtra Frame Coverage
During the 2011-12 season the PBA will have four designated Xtra Frame events in Fountain Valley, Calif.; Columbus, Ohio; Detroit and Indianapolis as well as extensive live coverage of competition during the World Series of Bowling, USBC Masters, U.S. Open and PBA Tournament of Champions. Each brand fully registering their respective category will receive “Brought to you by” status for a variety of in-show items such as the double box feature, post game report, player interviews, position round, etc. Brands may also submit commercials or product demonstration videos that will run at intervals before or after live coverage.

PBA.com
Fully registered brands will receive a logo icon next to their players name during all live scoring. The live scoring page will also be sponsored by a fully registered brand on a rotating basis.

Social Networking
The PBA has over 50,000 active and passionate Facebook fans. Each week the PBA will post a “PBA Fan Question of the Day” or similar feature on its Facebook Page sponsored by a fully registered brand. The sponsored post will contain a link to the sponsors site and can, at the sponsors discretion, contain a contest or promotion.
