Outcomes of bowling competitions organized at the state level by the United States Bowling Congress provide a wealth of information. These data points typically include competitor rankings, scores per game and overall, pinfall totals, and sometimes other relevant statistics like handicap information. For example, a typical outcome display might show the final standings of teams and individual bowlers, indicating their placement relative to others in their division.
These records serve several crucial functions. They officially document competitive achievements, contributing to the historical record of the sport. They also play a role in determining eligibility for advancement to higher-level competitions, such as sectional or national tournaments. Additionally, these outcomes offer valuable insights into individual and team performance, allowing bowlers to track their progress and strategize for future tournaments. The USBC’s meticulous record-keeping provides a robust framework for fair and transparent competition across the country.
