**February Update**

February 18, 2021 

The 2021 Wisconsin State USBC Tournament season is now underway. The Open Championship is running in Milwaukee, the Youth Championship in Green Bay, the Women's Championship in Appleton and the Open Senior Championship in Waukesha. During this crazy time we have all had to adjust to the constantly changing world around us. Your Wisconsin State USBC is no different and has made some changes to our tournament operations for the 2021 season. These changes were made with the bowlers, Association volunteers and bowling center staff health and safety at the top of our list. 

• Mask are required to enter the center and are required for all spectators. In order to promote social distancing, we are asking for your cooperation to limit spectators to 1 per bowler, possibly rotating.
• Masks are required in the tournament offices, merchandise sales and raffle stations.
• Masks are required in the bowling area. Bowlers may pull their mask down on the approach if they wish but must pull them back up when stepping off the lane.
• Coaches will check-in all bowlers in the tournament office, starting 1 hour prior to your squad time.
• When you finish your competition please vacate the bowling area so that we can clean and sanitize for the next set of bowlers. Incoming bowlers and spectators should wait until the area has been completed before you “move in”.
• Ball and cash raffle tickets will be sold before bowling and given a last call before the drawings outside the tournament office. Raffle tickets must be purchased at the designated area.
• To further promote social distancing, we have changed the starting time of all Saturday morning squads from 11:00 AM to 10:30 AM. We apologize for any inconvenience this may cause. This will allow more time for cleaning and sanitizing between shifts.
