USBC to Allow Alcohol at Open Championships?
In an article written by Jeff Richgels on his “11th Frame” blog, Jeff mentions that the USBC may be allowing alcohol at the USBC Open Championships. Jeff’s full article can be found here. The article mentions that the USBC could definitely use the extra money that selling alcohol could bring in. Not only that, this could also bring more bowlers that were turned away because of the “no alcohol” rules. The USBC recently laid off 10% of their workers and also announced that they were canceling the “Clash of Champions.” Like Jeff said, if this brings more entries, it’s very hard to oppose it. No official announcement has been made yet. The full article can be found on the 11th Frame Blog.
