The new calendar year marks the halfway point for most leagues. Presidents should be well into their routine of verifying the league account and the Audit Committee with two, possibly three, reviews of the finances to ensure there are no discrepancies.
The new year also brings out resolutions. If one of yours is to bowl a tournament this spring, it’s time to keep that resolution. The entry forms for the upcoming NCAUSBCA championship tournaments are at your local center and online at our web site.
The Women’s and Youth tournaments will be conducted in March, and the Open tournament (all adults) will be in April. All three tournaments are handicap-based, so you don’t need a high average to participate.
There are optional events/divisions for the scratch bowlers and, for the first time, the Open and Women’s tournaments will offer two optional handicap events for our senior bowlers ages 55 and above: Senior Singles and Senior All Events.
The championship tournaments offer something for everyone, so grab an entry form and get your team registered. Do not hesitate to contact the office with any questions about these events.
The NCAUSBCA Annual Meeting, open to all members, will be held on Sunday, February 24, 2013 at Bowl America Gaithersburg. You will elect officers and directors to lead the association for the 2013-2014 bowling season as well as discuss proposals to change bylaws that will be considered at the upcoming national convention. It is also a chance for you to ask questions of your association board. Lunch will precede the meeting, so make plans to attend.
Also in February is our 4th Annual Bowl for the Cure® event at Bowl America Shirley (February 9) and the Mixed Scratch Doubles Tournament (February 10) at The Lanes Fort Meade with $1,200 guaranteed for first place.
Please feel free to contact me with any questions or comments. I look forward to seeing you at our upcoming events over the next several weeks.
May you strike out often and be spared of any splits.
