Competition eligibility & average requirements

BEFORE YOU BUY · COMPETITION ELIGIBILITY

Know the required
entering average.

You must meet the USBC-verified entering average requirement for each division you enter. Purchasing a season or lifetime membership does not waive these requirements or automatically qualify you to compete.

Open Tour

195+

Required USBC-verified entering average.

Senior 50+

185+

Required USBC-verified entering average. You must also be age 50 or older.

Women’s Tour

185+

Required USBC-verified entering average. All published Women’s division eligibility requirements also apply.

The qualifying average must come from either of the two most recently completed USBC seasons as of the event entry deadline. PBO may require an official USBC average record or other USBC verification before accepting your entry.

Review the official playing rules and your event’s requirements before joining or entering. If you are unsure whether your average qualifies, contact PBO before purchasing.

Membership terms & no-refund policy

01 · MEMBERSHIP START

First official event.

Membership begins when the first official PBO event of the season starts. Purchasing before the season begins reserves membership for that season; it does not begin a separate twelve-month term.

02 · MEMBERSHIP END

National Championship.

Membership ends at the conclusion of the PBO National Championship for that season. The membership does not automatically carry into the following season.

03 · PAYMENT POLICY

No refunds.

All membership fees are final and nonrefundable except where required by law. Suspension, disqualification, ineligibility, inability to attend events, or removal for a rules or conduct violation does not create a right to a refund.
