Most probably don't read the code of conduct rules for a USBC event. Here they are:TomaHawk wrote:People must realize, PBA players are prohibited from publicly expressing their displeasure with the environment they are participating in. Accolades only.
Here we have two highly qualified professional bowlers, WRW and Belmo, mocking the conditions they are encountering. Do not believe for a minute, either one of them thought they could win this tournament utilizing the technique they exhibited in the videos portrayed on this board. Both realized, they were wasting their time, expressing it with their own particular method.
As for competing against some of the best bowlers in the world with a plastic ball? That is extremely unrealistic unless they were all required to use the same.
CONDUCT
• All tournament bowlers shall conduct themselves in a professional manner at all times while in the host center, or on the property of the host center, and on social media, before, during and after the event. Any criticism by a tournament bowler who discusses the sponsor, host center or personnel, lane conditions or pins, USBC or its staff or their fellow competitors in an unfavorable manner, or who otherwise engages in actions unbecoming of a USBC bowler in the opinion of the tournament director shall be in violation of the Code of Conduct.
• Electronic media. The USBC regards electronic media such as message boards, conversation pages and other forms of social networking (such as Facebook and Twitter) as important tools of communication and fan interaction. Tournament participants may not use these platforms to defame or otherwise attack the integrity of the USBC, its members, staff, sponsors, host center or host-center employees.
• Individuals are subject to ejection for engaging in improper tactics or conduct including, but not limited to, physical and verbal abuse toward another person.

So anyone who dares to question anything the USBC does/says is slitting their own throats. BUT Mr. Chad can go on FB & demean anyone he pleases. That's a double standard if ever there was one. So let's be good little minions & blindly follow 'our' leader no matter what! BS!
