Although it can be implemented any time of year, “March for BVL” is especially appropriate for the third month on the calendar. Just in time for many state and local tournaments, the campaign can be as simple as “marching” down the lanes to accept donations for BVL, or it could be extended to coordinating a community-wide “march.” Other ideas might include: Collecting donations in an army-style boot; Organizing a walk-a-thon or march-athon with a salute to area veterans; Asking veterans in the community to march into the bowling center to kick off a tournament; Printing artwork onto label-backed paper and applying it to a collection can or box; or Recognizing $1, $5, $10 individual donations using “Pin Art” printed on white, red, and blue paper writing the donor’s name on the “pin” and posting it at the control desk or on a bulletin board. JUNE 15 DEADLINE FOR BILLY WELU SCHOLARSHIP The Professional Bowlers Association is now accepting applications for the 2015 Billy Welu Scholarship Award, which recognizes exemplary qualities in male or female college students who compete in the sport of bowling.

BOWL Magazine • March 2015 www.ncausbca.org PRESIDENT’S MESSAGE • GENE O. MAYS We can all make our association better When I was elected in February 2012, I stood proudly at the NCAUSBCA Annual Meeting and accepted the position of president of this association. At that time, I made a commitment to help the association become the best that it could be and even better than in the past. I have tried to live up to that awesome task that you elected me to do. We can all do our part to make this association an even better one by encouraging more family and friends to join our various leagues. I want to thank you for your positive response to this plea. Now that this season is approaching an end for many leagues, all league members are reminded that it is the responsibility of your league officers to carry out their duties as required by the bowling rules. In closing, you are reminded that if there is anyone you would like to see considered for the Hall of Fame, take the time to read the article on page 3, and don’t hesitate to contact the association office for any additional information. Gene O. Mays may be reached via eMail at [email protected].

I am hopeful that your league has completed at least one audit of the league finances—better to be safe than sorry. 2. This is the time of the season when weather can disrupt the league schedule, so please err on the side of safety and allow for postponements and makeup games. A postponement committee avoids the possibility of favoritism. a. Bowlers are allowed to ask for a postponement if they participate in the USBC Championships, the local or state championship tournaments, or an annual meeting. The 52nd Annual Youth Championship Tournament will be held two weekends through March 8 at Bowl America Falls Church. The 70th Annual Open Championship Tournament will begin March 28 and end April 19. Events will be held at Bowl America Fairfax and Bowl America Woodbridge, so come on out and let’s make this a big time event; there is something for bowlers of all ages and abilities to participate in this year. Entry blanks can be found on our association Web site and Facebook pages and should be available in your centers. 5. 3. Have you considered where you are going to bowl next season? Has you league talked with center management regarding the contract for next season? 4. Tournament season is in full swing, starting with a very successful Mixed Scratch Doubles event recently completed at Bowl America Fairfax. 6 BOWL Magazine • March 2015 What’s your top spare ball? Blue Hammer Chris Blackmore Fairfax, Va. Columbia 300 White Dot Stephen Hahn Potomac Falls, Va. If your league has had a team drop out for some good reason, do you know how you are to handle This is the time of the season when weather can disrupt the league schedule, so please err on the side of safety and allow for postponements and makeup games. b. Rule 111b states a league cannot adopt a rule that would prohibit any prebowling/postponements when a team is unable to field a legal lineup due to item 2a above. THE QUESTION: the loss of prize money? How much money is owed to the bowler(s) who paid into the prize fund for weeks and had to withdraw? We get a lot of calls on this very subject every year, so be ready with a plan. You will find Rule 117b/8 helpful. Ronald McGregor can be reached via eMail at manager@ncausbca .org.

JAMES GASKILL III In the position round last game of the Youth Invitational finals, Jarrett DeFalco (left) needed to defeat A Division leader Donald Bock by 41 pins to become the victor. Up 32 pins (179-147) in the seventh frame and with both bowlers striking in the eighth and ninth, DeFalco had an opportunity to apply maximum pressure to his opponent, only to have his title dreams all but die when his first ball in the final frame failed to carry the 10pin. DeFalco spared and tossed a strike to finish with 248. Meanwhile, Bock, now needing only a mark, promptly rolled two strikes and an 8-count for 235— not enough to win the match but good enough by 27 pins to secure his first Invitational championship. A deeply disappointed DeFalco departed Bowl America Falls Church as divisional runner-up for the second consecutive year. 10 BOWL Magazine • March 2015 www.ncausbca.org USBC 2015 index of proposed amendments LEAGUE RULES Rules Proposal No. LR 1 USBC Playing Rules • Chapter 4, League Rules Rule 109a, Legal Lineup Changes the default legal lineup to one regardless of playing strength.

I have been pulling the ball lately and can’t seem to stop doing this. The harder I try not to pull, the worse it gets. Any ideas? A. There are several things that can cause pulling the ball; the main one, however, is muscling the swing. My key in your question is the harder you try to stop, the worse it gets. Sounds like muscling. It goes like this: When you get into a slump and begin to try too hard, the tendency is to control the swing. You start pulling the ball back, which forces you to pull the swing forward. Then, there is only one thing you can do at release and that is to pull the ball. Yes, the harder you try to stop this, the worse you get. During your next practice session, push the ball out and just let your arm fall; let the weight of the ball take your arm back. You will find that this will allow you to have a much more free swing, and the pulling will disappear. Do this for a few games, and don’t worry about your score. Just work on regaining your relaxed armswing. Let your muscle memory take over. Q. What is the difference between a symmetrical and asymmetrical bowling ball? I need a new ball and don’t know which would be best. I average 184. A. A symmetrical ball generally will have a smoother, more consistent reaction and is easier to control. The asymmetrical ball tends to react to the dry area sharper Q. I have been watching the pros on TV, and I hear they bowl 30 or 40 games a week. I bowl five or six games, and my arm is tired and I am beat. How do they do this week after week? A. Professional bowlers of today 1. On the Sport Average Adjustment Scale, what “Adjusted Average” equals a “Sport League Average” of 200? 2. Who is NCAUSBCA’s current fifth vice president? 3. Which center is older—Bowl America Shirley or Parkland Bowl? 4. True or False: USBC encourages all tournaments to offer guaranteed first-place prizes. 5. True or False: When a team forfeits a game, the team score for that game is zero. 6. True or False: A team can request an extension if it does not make up games within the time limit set by league rule. 7. What center hosted the final round of this year’s NCAUSBCA Youth Invitational Scratch Singles Tournament? are in great physical condition. They are as much of an athlete as the athletes in any sport. They all maintain workout schedules, and the biggest part of bowling is having strong legs. To bowl well, you have to have your legs under you; this creates speed, power, and accuracy. If your arm is getting tired and you are worn out, you are relying on your arm and back muscles for power. Bowling is not an upper-body sport; it starts with the legs. So if you want to get better and have more endurance, start exercising those legs. ANSWERS: 1, 214; 2, Darron Mayes; 3, Bowl America Shirley; 4, False; 5, True; 6, True; 7, Bowl America Falls Church. To ask Bob a question, eMail him at [email protected]. Check Your Knowledge 14 and can be a bit jumpy. However, it can be used by a knowledgeable ball driller to help a bowler with weak spots in his/her game—like getting the ball through the heads or creating a stronger reaction at the pins. So it is just a matter of preference. But remember this: The surface of the ball is still the biggest factor in ball reaction. Both symmetrical and asymmetrical cores have a place in the game, and both can be fine-tuned by tweaking the cover. What you try to do is match up to the shot at your lanes.

My teammate at the time, the late NCAUSBCA Hall of Famer Willie Jelks, did not like the way my hand came over the top of my ball during my release. Willie taught to relax my armswing, focus on my target, and follow through. He also worked with me to stay behind the ball and actually roll—not throw—the ball. This gives me the right axis tilt roll on the ball that is conducive to scoring strikes. I now get that forward roll so that when my ball goes into the pocket, it retains its energy by my staying behind the ball with a good follow-through. Willie’s assistance back then helped me become a better bowler. Rolling in his first senior event, Tim averaged 234.33 for nine games to win the All Events category of his age division in the NCAUSBCA 33rd Annual Senior Tournament at Bowl America Woodbridge. He also placed third in Doubles with Luis Drakes.
