Rochester NY USBC Bowler of the Year (26-27 Season)

Bowler of the Year Rules

There will be three different Bowler of the Year Categories

Men (49 and under)

Senior (50 and over)

Woman (all women)

You will only receive points in the category that you qualify for (ex. women and seniors cannot win men's Bowlers of the Year). Female bowlers cannot receive points for bowling in senior events.

The following tournaments will be used to decide the Bowler of the Year awards:

700 Club

Mixed Doubles

Senior Singles

Queens

Senior Masters

Masters

Open City Championships

There will be a designated point system used for each tournament.

If the tournament allows re-entries, you will only receive points for your highest finishing position.

For the Open City Championships, you may receive points for multiple categories but only once in each category.

For Mixed Doubles, each person will receive points in their respective categories.

All bowlers will receive points for an event bowled

In the event of a tie for the Bowler of the Year at the end of the season, the tie breaker will go to the person with the highest single winning points session (for example if Bowler A was awarded 200 points at the 700 club and Bowler B was awarded 300 points at the master's the tie breaker would go to Bowler B) If there is still a tie, then it will go to the second highest points won and so on till there is a winner determined.

Honor scores thrown during an event will also receive points. 40 points per honor score during the Masters, Queens and Senior Masters. 20 points per honor score during the Senior Singles, Mixed Doubles, 700 Club and Open City Championships.

There will be an award presented to the winner of each category at the Annual Board Meeting at the end of the season

Your age as of 8/1/26 will determine if you are in the men’s or senior category

Bowlers from touching associations are eligible to receive points.

All final decisions are subject to approval from the Rochester NY USBC Board of Directors.
