We have partnered with GO Yellow Checker Shuttle to provide delegates with discounted airport transportation. By clicking here, attendees can search for the best option available.
Texas Rangers tickets
For delegates interested in attending the Texas Rangers baseball game on Friday evening, April 27, USBC has negotiated discounted pricing for our delegates and guests. Tickets are available for as low as $10 and can be purchased online by clicking here. The password to access available seats and pricing is bowling12.
Update to rings being shipped incorrectly to bowlers
As you are aware, USBC has encountered issues with honor score rings being shipped to the bowler though the application states that it should be shipped to the local association. We believe we have resolved the transmission issues and associations can now process the awards as they are received.
If you have any additional questions, please contact the Bowling Information Center at 1-800-514-2695 or email bowlinfo@bowl.com.
