Many BPAA centers pour Pepsi soft drink products, and as part of a special
promotion, they,re pouring them in cups featuring the likeness of NASCAR
star Jeff Gordon. If you’re looking for a little more “kick” in your beverage,
however, just ask for a cup of Jeff Gordon Collection wine. We’re not sure
how many centers stock that product, but if it’s like most “celebrity wine”,
you won’t need a fancy wine glass; a Pepsi cup will do just fine.

USBC rules grant tournament managers wide discretion in accepting or rejecting
entries and in re-rating bowlers , and in almost every case, USBC will back the
tournament managers. There would be no way for USBC to determine what
may or may not be fair adjustment.

The United States Bowling Congress Board of Directors has decided to post-
pone any changes in the awards program for one year, and has promised to
review the previously announced “once-in-a-lifetime” proposal during that time.
That means the awards program currently in place for the 2007-2008 season
will remain in place for 2008-2009 while the entire program is once again reviewed.

USBC offers 300-game rings, and 7-10 split patches. But is there an award for
bowling a 37?? There should be, especially if the bowler who performed the feat
happens to be as high-profile a personality as Democratic presidential hopeful
Barack Obama. Obama’s now-famous 37, bowled at the Pleasant Valley Recreation
Center in Altoona,Pa., in late March, likely garnered the sport more national
recognition than Jermey Sonnenfeid’s then unique 900 series in 1997 . In fact
Democratic challenger Hillary Clinton seized the opportunity to challenge
Obama to a roll-off. “My economic plan is better than my bowling,”
Obama assures the fellow bowlers.
