Here's a treat for bowlers in the Arlington area.

If you've ever thought about becoming a member of the United States Bowling Congress, now is your chance.

Bowlers competing in short-season leagues that begin March 1 or later can purchase a USBC membership for only $10. This fee does not include state dues. The membership provides a USBC-certified average so bowlers can compete in local, state and national tournaments.

Although high score achievements will be recognized and recorded by USBC, awards such as rings and plaques are not included in the Adult Basic membership.

"The Adult Basic membership was developed so associations will have a lower-cost product for bowlers who compete in short-duration leagues," said USBC president Andrew Cain.

According to the USBC, the membership is available to bowlers competing in leagues that have 16 or fewer sessions. The membership is not transferable to another league.

Of the $10 cost for the USBC Adult Basic membership, $7 will go to USBC National and $3 to the local association.
