These bylaws were voted in at the 2022 Annual GMM in Rochester, and the Policies & Procedures were approved by the Board during the 2022 Mid-Year Board Meeting in Washington, DC. Following review by the membership, these documents became effective July 1, 2023. If you wish to suggest changes to either of these documents, please use this Bylaw/P&P Change Request Form.

The Tournament Average Database, hereafter TAD, is a service IGBO provides to its member tournaments. The TAD maintains a rolling average calculated by considering every IGBO member tournament a bowler has participated in within the last year. Both standard tournaments and optional scratch events (e.g. Scratch Masters) are included in the calculation. This allows tournament directors to consider true tournament condition scores in addition to those of USBC sanctioned league averages. For privacy reasons, this is a closed system and requires IGBO membership in order to use the database. If you already have an IGBO Account, you may use your credentials to access the database.

Tournament Average Tracking
This spreadsheet helps you, the bowler, track your tournament averages based on USBC Rule 319. Use this tool to report averages when registering for various tournaments throughout the year.
