I have been in a month long argument with the USBC. They have chosen to just not respond anymore, so I feel like it is my duty to bring the problem to the attention of other bowlers. I am ready to wash my hands with the USBC completely and start a national average company myself.

Yesterday I was attempting to not only pick which balls I want to bring with me, but simulate breakdown of lane conditions bowling with multiple people.
