February 16, 2021
ARLINGTON, Texas - Delegates at the 2021 United States Bowling Congress Convention and Annual Meeting will vote on 19 legislative proposals involving bylaws and rules specific to tournaments and leagues.
The 2021 USBC Convention will take place virtually from April 26-29, with the Annual Meeting legislative session and USBC Board elections taking place on the final day.
The agenda for the legislative session will include the 13 proposals from 2020 that were not voted upon because the 2020 Convention was canceled due to the pandemic and six proposals slated for 2021.
Complete details, and a schedule for the week, will be available soon.
Votes will be cast electronically, live, during the Annual Meeting. Full details, and timing for practice voting sessions, will be announced in March.
Due to the virtual nature and verification of voting rights, all delegates must be registered by April 21, 2021. Association delegates must be in WinLABS and transmitted to HQ.
Athlete delegates and USBC Hall of Famers must email convention@bowl.com to register. Invitations will be sent to athlete delegates and hall of famers this week.
Of the 13 proposed amendments that carried over from the 2020 agenda, seven relate to bylaws, five are for tournament rules and one is for a league rule. For the 2021 amendments, five pertain to league rules and one relates to bylaws.
