Frequently Asked Questions

Question Answer
How do I look up an average? Click on the Averages page. Then click on the year in which you wish to search. Then enter the bowler's name, last name first or a partial name. A list of everyone matching your entry will be displayed. You could also enter the league code and all the members of that league will be displayed.
What is the Certification # of my association? The Greater Fredericksburg USBC Association # is 82565.
What is the Certification # of my league? The league certification # is a unique league identification number assigned by United States Bowling Congress Headquarters to each individual certification application. The league certification number can also be found on the roster listings that were sent from your association office to the league secretary. The certification # is located next to your league name in parenthesis.
What is the Certification # of my center? Certification numbers for all bowling centers within the Greater Fredericksburg USBC Association can be found on the Bowling Center page of this web site. The certification certificate for the current season which contains the number should be displayed on the front door of your center.
What is a league code (LAB #)? A league code is a unique five alpha/numeric character identification code that is assigned by your association that identifies the bowling center and the league (i.e. CB001 - league #1 at Cannon Ball Lanes in Dahlgren, FR002 - league #2 at AMF Fredericksburg, LM003 - league #3 at Liberty Center Massaponax,  or LS004 - league #4 at Liberty Center Stafford).
How do I find my league code? The league code is located on the league roster sent to the league secretary from the association office after certification - located across from the league name on the right-hand side. The league codes are also published in the on line average book next to each reported average for that league.
What is a National ID #? The National ID number is a unique number assigned by the local association at time of certification that links information, such as awards earned and tournament competition, to specific members in the association's database to the database at USBC Headquarters. Beginning with the 2001-2002 season, the National ID number replaced the use of your SSN as an identification number.
How can I find my National ID #? It is printed on your membership card. You can also look it up on Bowl.com's "Find a Member" Page.
Why did my National ID # change? If you belong to more that one association, the first association you joined assigned a National ID number to you. If the second association does not know that you already have a National ID, they will assign you a new National ID number so they can provide services to you immediately. If you have had a change in last name, and you did not indicate your ID number on the card, it may not have been possible to locate your previous ID number - therefore a new ID number was assigned. It is extremely important that your National ID number be used on all membership application cards to avoid assignment of another National ID number - especially when filling out a card through another association. If you have more than 1 National ID #, please contact the association office to have the situation corrected.
