UN-OFFICIAL results for the Association Championship tournament & Brackets are up on the Tournament page.
THANK YOU to EVERYONE who turned out and bowled. We know it was a bit of a short notice but I hope everyone had
a good time. There have always been and always will be issues that arise. But I think they were minimal. This was the first association tournament in a LONG time and we have many new board members that are getting up to speed on how to
run tournaments. PLEASE let us know your thoughts on how to improve tournament operations. Send an email to any of our directors, or if you
see us in your center or league, let us know. And, a very special THANK YOU to everyone at BOWLERO - San Marcos for hosting and allowing us to
have the tournament locally.

Just as a reminder ---- USBC National Membership Dues will increase by $2.00 (From $13 to $15) for the 2022-2023 season. This is NOT a surprise. This
was approved on April 29th, 2016 at the USBC National Convention. You can read the news release
HERE. I know the timing is bad but, again, this was approved 6 years ago. The current $13 dues went into effect 5 years ago.

It is with incredible sadness that I pass along word that R. Vic Landis has passed away. A 1994 Palomar Bowling Association Hall of
Fame inductee and LONG time association bowler (He was Chairman of the North County USBC Transition Committee that formed our association
on March 5, 2006). He was a very talented man, a US Armed Forces Vereran, and liked by all who were priviledged to know him. I count myself
as one of the lucky ones to have known and bowled with him. I will provide additional details if they become available. We miss you Vic.

From the entire North County USBC Board of Directors - We wish all of you a very happy, safe and joyous holiday season.

IMPORTANT NOTICE: The scams not only continue, the attempts always increase during the holiday season. The perpetrators are
hoping that people will let their guard down as they focus on holiday shopping, visiting with family, etc.
SO... If you receive an email asking that you to do something because the sender is unable to do so and is unavailable, PLEASE,
check the ACTUAL email address (not just the name) of the sender to see if it matches the address of the person you know. And, as an added
measure of security and peace of mind, call the REAL person on the phone to verify whether they sent the email.
ALSO, if you get a text message that requests you click on a link, DON'T. If you get a phone call with a recorded
message that asks you to call them, be very alert and cautious!!! If you get an phone call from a Police department saying something
along the lines that they have a loved one in custody and need bail money, etc. and it must be done via gift cards, HANG UP!!!
Typically, the vast majority of these scam attempts all revolve around getting you to purchase a gift card(s) and then giving the code on the back
of the gift card to the person. DON'T DO IT!!!

Rules for the 2022 USBC Open Championship in Las Vegas have just been released. Of note by them is a correction that "Bowlers are responsible for verifying the
accuracy of their averages, whether originally submitted by the bowler, team captain or others. If submitted average is lower than required and
results in a lower classification, the bowler’s score is disqualified." The Rules can be read
HERE.

The Fall season is upon us. Beat the rush. Get your USBC membership cards quick and easy by doing it online. Click
HERE. Then click on the Join Now or Renew
link. If you have had a USBC membership in the past and remember your USBC ID number, the system will find most of your information for
you and you would only have to change anything that is not current (perhaps you have changed addresses). If USBC already has your birthday, it
will be shown as "on file." Be sure to select "Standard Adult membership" as the membership type and enter the "North County USBC" association for
whom the memberships fees are being paid through. It's ALL MUCH faster. You can check back in 24 hours and save an image/copy of
your card on on your phone while you wait for the physical card to arrive in the mail.
-
For those new League Officers, and league members interested in the how things should work in their league, here is a really nice document that
covers the duties and responsabilities that each position should be aware of, the USBC
League Operations Handbook. So,
if you are a new league President, Secretary, Treasurer, Team Captain, etc., give it a look.
-
If your league is having a meeting and you would like to have one of our directors there to help explain the new rules, etc., please invite us to your meeting.
Send us an email and tell us when and where. We would love to answer your questions and assist your league in any way we can.
- And just as a reminder for all:
Membership cards -
USBC is INSISTING that bowlers include their correct "Date of Birth" on their membership cards, or they will not be processed. I imagine that this is to
ENSURE that your dues, awards, leagues, averages, etc. are properly recorded to the right person (There are so many people with the same name, and some
may be in your association).
And for league secretaries -
- Pass out individual USBC membership application cards to each league member as they join and collect completed cards and membership dues.
- Forward completed membership application cards, membership dues and USBC league application within 30 days of the start
of the season to the Association.
- Membership card applications and applicable fees for new members that join later shall also be forwarded within 30 days of receipt.
- Check the application cards as they are returned to you. It is easier to find errors and have them corrected (remember that Date of Birth item)
rather than to submit incomplete information, which could cause a delay in the member receiving their card.
- If bowlers indicate they have paid in another league on the membership card, ask for a receipt, if they can not show a receipt collect the
fees, they can be refunded upon proof of previous payment.
- If bowler is NOT a member of North County USBC and are bowling in a North County USBC league, they MUST pay the local association fee of $10.
- Have the bowlers carefully complete their home address (and apartment number if applicable) and national membership ID if it does not already
appear on the card.
- To improve communications, please make sure members include their e-mail addresses on the form.
- Submit applications for awards within 20 days of the accomplishment to the association. Award presentations should take place before the entire league and
as soon as possible after the feat is accomplished and the award is available. A long delay, such as waiting for the league’s season-ending banquet, can
reduce bowlers’ excitement about earning awards and their appreciation of their membership benefits.
- Turn in season-ending averages to the local association (within 15 days of the end of the league). This is how averages get uploaded to
BOWL.com. Averages must include ALL games bowled (Every single one). This includes roll-off, playoff and sweeper games.

Thank you to all the bowlers from both the North County USBC and San Diego USBC Associations who turned out to support the Welcome Back/BVL Singles
tournament. And thank you to all the board members of the San Diego USBC for all their efforts and hard work to make it a success. I am told that
more than 120 bowlers participated and over $2200 was raised. Congratulations to all, and THANK YOU!!!
Aug 21, 2021

Tomorrow is the last day of the Welcome Back/BVL Singles tournament. It will be conducted at Parkway Bowl in El Cajon. I know it's a long way to
drive for most, but for those that are closer, please make the effort to support BVL. They deserve it.

ATTENTION - WARNING - STOP
It appears that (Like COVID-19) some things just are NOT STOPPING. I'm speaking of email SCAMS. EVERY board member I've talked to this morning has
reported getting an email from what appears to be the board president. It has his name, but IT IS NOT HIS EMAIL ADDRESS. It asks them to preform a
task - which in the end normally involves purchasing gift cards, or something along those lines, and then sending the serial # of those cards to the
person (SCAMMER).
DO NOT FALL FOR THIS. If you have questions, have doubts, not sure, whatever; CALL the person on the phone (FIRST)
to verify if they actually sent the email. Chances are, if you check the ACTUAL email address it is from, it IS NOT the email address of the
person you think sent it.
BE AWARE. BE PREPARED. DO NOT BECOME A VICTIM.
Aug 1, 2021

Just as a reminder for ALL League Secretaries: There is no increase in the USBC membership dues for the 2021-2022 season.
The USBC fee for Adult STANDARD membership is still $25 ($13 USBC, $10 local, $2 CA state). This applies to all adult bowlers who are at least 18 years
old as of August 1, 2021. Membership dues for youth bowlers is also unchanged. It is $11. Memberhsip is good from Aug 1, 2021 - July 31, 2022.
You can pay for your USBC membership via Bowl.com or by completing the membership card provide by a league secreary.
There is no reciprocal operating agreement between the North County USBC and ANY other association. As such, ALL bowlers joining a North
County USBC sanctioned league who have paid their membership via any other association MUST pay the $10 association fee.
This may change in the future. However, at this time (for this 2021-2022 season), the $10 fee is required from other association members
participating in North County USBC leagues and tournaments.
USBC membership dues are required to be paid before completion of the bowlers 1st series in the league or tournament play (as per USBC Playing Rule
101). Here is a quick link to the
"League Secretary/Youth League Official Duties and Responsibilities".
Membership cards, with applicable fees, must be turned in to the association manager, by league secretaries, within 30 days.
Have questions? PLEASE, contact ANY member of the association board of directors. Contact information is available on the "Board of Directors" page
underneath the "Association" menu above. Have a league meeting coming up? Invite a board member to the meeting to answer questions.

Next week begins the new 2021-2022 bowling season. With that, I have the following note from USBC:
"Membership Card Date of Birth
With the new WinLABS update coming on Aug. 1, 2021, all memberships now are required to have an accurate date of birth on their profile, or they
will not be able to be processed. Please ensure that league bags are sent with messaging to remind league secretaries of this requirement.
Ensuring accurate dates of birth is essential to keep up with compliance with SafeSport and USOPC mandates regarding adult/youth leagues and
youth/adult interactions. Thank you in advance for helping keep your WinLABS and USBC databases accurate with member information."
So... EVERYONE... when purchasing your 2021-2022 membership cards either online via Join USBC on Bowl.com or by using the physical cards that
your league secretary will hand out the first night of league for the new season, please provide your accurate birth date.
AND... DON'T FORGET TO KEEP YOUR RECEIPT UNTIL YOUR ACTUAL CARD ARRIVES!!!
-
League Secretaries - As your summer leagues wind down, please remember to get the averages and honor score forms in to the association manager. Awards
forms need to be submitted within 20 days and league averages need to be in within 15 days of the end of the league (EVERY SINGLE GAME MUST
BE COUNTED). Your winter leagues will be starting soon so don't wait to finish all the paperwork for the summer.
A quick look at Rule changes for the 2021-2022 season are
Here. I like the changes to rule 113c.

Well, it seems there is a phishing email making the rounds. Basically it says something to the effect that there is something that you need to
take care of and the person sending the email (that appears to be someone you know, BUT REALLY IS NOT!) is in a meeting and
you can't call them. Blah, Blah, Blah. DO NOT believe it. DO NOT reply to the email just delete it.
If you just can't resist and/or are not sure, pick up the phone and call the person you THINK sent the email and verify they sent it.
It almost always involves paying money, in some form.
Don't believe it. Don't fall for it.

OK. According to an email from Dawn Gorman at Surf, they will be opening on Tuesday, June 15th. They will have a short summer session for most of
their leagues followed by a "normal" fall/winter session in September. Their Beer & Bowling Buddies Summer League will begin Friday, June 25th,
starting with a league meeting at 6:15p to go over league rules with league bowling to follow. She asks that you notify her if you plan on returning for the
summer session. The fall/winter schedule will be out shortly but she expects Friday, September 10th, will be the start day.

All righty then. The San Diego USBC, in concert with the North County USBC, is hosting a Welcome Back/BVL Singles tournament on August 8th at
Mira Mesa and another on August 22nd at Parkway lanes. This tournament is open to ALL San Diego County bowlers. This is for a GREAT cause - helping
the disabled veterans of California. Other than lineage, all money goes to help those that have sacraficed so much for all of us.
But that is not to say that there are not prizes for participants of the tournaments.
Go to the Tournaments page Here,
and get all the information you need. And entry is SOOOOOO easy.
NOW... Keep in mind that while the name of the tournament, as stated on the entry form is "Welcome Back/BVL Singles Tournament",
THIS IS NOT the BVL Qualifier tournament that we are all more familiar with and is normally held in early November
(around Veteran's Day). That tournament is still going to be held.
Again; This tournament is a joint production of the North County USBC and San Diego USBC Associations. It is NOT the
BVL qualifier tournament! But IT DOES raise money for BVL (Bowlers to Veterans Link) which - if you are not familiar with it - is a
GREAT 501(c)(3) chairitable organization acknowledged and supported by USBC. You can read all about it on their website -
BVL.ORG or
USBC.
PLEASE, do come and join us. Have a great time and help a GREAT cause. If you have ANY questions about the tournament or the BVL
organization or its purpose or efforts, just ask any of our association board members.
PS. There will be GREAT opportunity drawings for some really nice items.

Sadly, our association has lost another member - Larry McCann. Larry past away on May 30th, 2021 of cancer. A member of the Men's Palomar Bowling Association
(forerunner to the merged North County USBC Association that we have today), he was a director and was the 2nd Vice-President. Larry bowled on the
Beer and Beer Buddies league on Friday nights at Surf Bowl. He is dearly missed and we wish to extend our sincere condolences to his wife, Marta McCann.

OK. The USBC Convention starts today. As noted before, this year it is being held VIRTUALLY. So ANYONE can participate in all sessions of the
Convention with the exception of voting for candidates and legislation. You can watch/view the convention sessions (Typically 30-60 minutes in
length), and send chat messages to ask questions. All you need to do is log in to BowlTV and you can view all of
the sessions LIVE. Again, there is no charge or subscription required. You can go to www.usbcconvention.com to see the schedule of sessions, or find
it via bowl.com. And if the day or time is not convenient, "the sessions will be available to view ‘on-demand’ at the end of the day.
You can navigate to the Agenda tab, on bowltv.com, and look for the On Demand button on a session. Sessions will be available as soon as
the production team is able to process them, typically within a few hours." Well... I am unable to find an "Agenda" tab. But the sessions are there
(https://www.bowltv.com/convention) as the Kickoff session is up and available. You just need to log into bowltv.com
Also, as a reminder, back at the 2016 convention it was voted and approved to increase the USBC national dues by $2. They have announced that this
will be applied/implimented for the 2022-2023 season. Thus, national dues are increasing from the current $13 to $15 next season
(starting August 1, 2022).

OMG!. Guess what I have for you??? Remember the old Average Books? Well, we've gone digital. Yes, yes, I know, most of you look up averages on
Bowl.com via their app. Well, that only shows a single persons average. What we have here is a PDF that lists EVERYONE who bowled in a
North County USBC league last season - just like the old average books. The information is sorted by last name and average. So, without further
adieu... the link is HERE.
When I get everything ELSE done, I will try to
make it a searchable form. But it will be awhile yet. It will be maintained on the Average Books & Sponsors page (under the Association menu). IF,
your information is incorrect in any way, please contact your league secretary to ensure that they submit the right information to the Association
