Certifying your USBC tournament has never been easier. Complete the certification process online and save time and paperwork. Certify your tournament when it's convenient for you whenever you want on your computer, on your time.
This time-saving new feature streamlines the tournament certification process and saves valuable time for tournament managers.
USBC now requires all tournament managers to certify their events this way. Go green by using this paperless technology to expedite the certification process.
The process initially takes about 20 minutes to complete and can be done at any time. Those who registered online last season and submitted all required reports can renew the same event online this season. Go to the tournament certification link under "Departments"on bowl.com. Log in under your user ID and password and click"renew." You can then review and update the center(s), tournament date(s) plus make any changes to the rules previously selected.
Within 30 days of the tournament's completion the required financial report must be submitted online.
If you need assistance using the new online tournament certification program, call (800) 514-BOWL, ext. 3155 ore-mail rules@bowl.com. Office hours are Monday-Friday, 8am-5pm CST.
