USBC to Implement a Tiered Center Certification Program
ARLINGTON, Texas
– Following a recent study of the lane certification process and analyzing data from lane inspections, the United States Bowling Congress determined it will implement a center certification program, featuring tiered levels of certification and a national staff of lane inspectors, over the next five years.
READ FULL STORY
Details of the tiered center certification program will be announced at the 2021 USBC Convention. The USBC Equipment and Specifications Committee, which made the decision to implement the program, has delegated authority from the USBC Board to make changes to equipment specifications.
USBC also determined it will not require local associations to perform annual lane inspections as the USBC Equipment Specifications and Certifications team continues its work to fully develop the program. The decision means all bowling centers will be certified until the national staff begins center certifications in 2022.
Once the tiered center certification program is in place, centers will be inspected and assigned to a tier based on the level it meets in regard to USBC specifications. The decision to make any necessary improvements, based on the results of an inspection, will be left to the center and no longer mandated by USBC.
Webinars
USBC will hold three webinars with USBC staff for everyone else who may have questions. The schedule (all times Eastern):
- Tuesday, Dec. 3 at 10 a.m.
- Wednesday, Dec. 4 at 3 p.m.
- Thursday, Dec. 5 at 8 p.m.
