You are correct. The league has to be sanctioned to get the awards and benefits. It's usually the league secretary or local bowling association that notifies USBC and orders the awards.
Stupid question but I need to know
My wife and I are now sanctioned bowlers. My question is this: First, can you be sanctioned, and bowl on a league that is not, BUT STILL get the benifits and awards ect that a sanctioned league gets? Or does the league you are bowling on have to declare if its sanctioned or not before it starts. Ok,, maybe this is a better way of putting it, I think I know the answer: I now bowl on a sanctioned league on tuesdays, and we paid the fee, its good for 1 year. When I bowl on Mondays its a non sanctioned league, we do not get any of the benifits, awards ect. on that league,,,,, correct???
We are both new bowlers, and I know this might sound dumb, but I think I have it figured out... ((or do I ??) (:>/

Right, you get no awards in the non-sanctioned league. So make sure you don't bowl a 300 in that league, or you won't get a ring like you would if you bowled the 300 in the Tuesday league.
Least of my worries if I get a ring.
I will buy my own!!! My concern would be will my medical insurance pay for the HEART ATTACK!!! I would buy a 6 carrot zirconium diamond! Might even get a tattoo on my forehead, ( 300 )!! But leave enough room for the first league sanctioned 700 series!!!! I just thought of something,,, I can't get the 700 series on the summer league,,, it a 4 game league!! Darn!!! Its going to happen,,,,, last june is when I had the 298,,,,, !Originally Posted by JaMau24
Actually, I think you can still have a qualified series each week in a 4 game league. I think you can take either the first 3 games, or the last three and that will be your series. You CAN'T pick and choose which 3 out of the 4, they have to be in a row.
Can anyone confirm this is true, or not?
If you bowl more than 3 games, but less than 6. The first Three games are what count for series award.
See rule 51b series award.

Ok. So first 3 games only. Thanks bowl1820
than whats with the 4th game.. haha.. waste of energy!!!
maybe another stupid question
Buts thats how I learn~~ If only the first 3 count for awards ect,, 300 game, 600,,700,,,800 ect... why do they have 4 game leagues? Do they have 5 or 6 game leagues? If not, I wounder when they first came up with the IDEA to have and extra game that means nothing in regards to awards..... Was it put in as a cool down game? I understand that the extra game means 4 games one can win, plus total pins, but why 4? Who was the man/person/alien that came up with the idea?
Who got the idea first is anybodys guess, lost to time.
Most of the time, youll see a 4 game series when there are small team sizes (singles, doubles and Trios). They get done done faster than regular 4 & 5 man teams. So a extra game is added to fill the time.
Also the extra "4th" game may use a different format, like a baker game.
