OTHER CAA PARTICIPATION                                                                                                                                           

Sponsor new first time bowlers, with paid membership (who has never had a USBC membership before), and earn one (1) point    for each.  New members will receive a welcome card to return with your information.

Point accumulation for the current year will end as of the end of the final night of league for the summer season.  For example, if there are 10 summer leagues running, the last one done is the last night to accumulate points.   (This date is normally around August 15th of each Summer.)   If a Fall/Winter league starts before the end of the last Summer league completes, those points accrue to the next season.
