USBC Announces Future Convention Sites, Proposed Legislation for 2014

The host sites for the United States Bowling Congress Convention and Annual Meeting have been determined for 2015, 2016 and 2017. At the 2014 Convention in Reno, Nev., delegates will vote on 10 proposals involving changes to USBC bylaws, league rules and tournament rules.

The USBC Board of Directors approved Indianapolis as the site for the 2015 USBC Convention while Las Vegas will serve as host in 2016 and 2017. The convention in 2016 coincides with the opening of the new $30 million bowling tournament facility at South Point Hotel and Casino that will be the site of the 2016 USBC Women’s Championships.

For the 2014 Convention, delegates not only will elect four new board members but also will vote on 10 legislative proposals. Several of the proposed amendments relate to USBC dues structure for state and local associations.

USBC members are required to submit written amendment proposals to adult league and tournament rules and bylaws to USBC by September 1 for action by the delegates.
