3 EXECUTIVE HANDBOOK The Canadian 5 Pin Bowlers' Association (C5PBA) EXECUTIVE HANDBOOK continues with the identity and role this in aiding the league executive to WORK TOGETHER AS A TEAM. The manual's title was changed to the "EXECUTIVE HANDBOOK" in the season, in recognition of the enormous workload fulfilled each season by our thousands of volunteer league secretaries. We hope this name change has helped to more equally divide the responsibilities of administering a 5 Pin Bowling league amongst the league executives. While this manual was originally designed to assist all affiliated bowling leagues in the everyday running of their programs and tournaments; we hope to further improve your league's administration by promoting the idea that EVERYONE HAS A ROLE TO PLAY. We congratulate you for your invaluable and tremendous contributions in the past; and extend our sincere appreciation for your continued support and promotion of 5 Pin Bowling. As our sport continues to grow in popularity, and becomes the "in" thing to do -- we wish you a successful season of "LIFE IN THE FAST LANE". CANADIAN 5 PIN BOWLERS' ASSOCIATION Board of Directors, Executive and Staff * * * * * * * * * * 1

4 WHEN YOU NEED A HAND... It is not uncommon for bowlers to ask questions. It is not uncommon for league executive members to respond with answers. But when you don't have them at your fingertips and you need a hand or a little reassurance, who should you ask? We suggest the following pattern be utilized: LEAGUE BOWLERS ' LEAGUE EXECUTIVE ' LOCAL ASSOCIATIONS ' PROVINCIAL ASSOCIATIONS ' C5PBA NATIONAL OFFICE ' C5PBA BOARD OF DIRECTORS 2

16 CANADIAN 5 PIN BOWLERS' ASSOCIATION RECORD SCORES **ATTENTION LEAGUE SECRETARIES AND STATISTICIANS** Just a friendly reminder to you that it is necessary that the YEAR END AVERAGES from year to year are NOT thrown out; but rather transferred to the bowler's NEW AVERAGE SHEET! This is necessary for many reasons -- for example -- to determine the bowler's year end average for recognition of record scores and such tournaments as the C5PBA Inter-Provincal Championship, etc. By keeping the year end averages of bowlers in your league, you will save yourself loads of work! Because 90% of the Canadian 5 Pin Bowlers' Association membership is comprised of low to medium average bowlers, the C5PBA adopted a record score program to recognize bowlers when they excel beyond their established ability. This program is used in several provinces; and already Zone and Provincial Records have been established. It is hoped that all provinces will eventually implement this program. The following procedure will assist your League in initiating the Record Score Program: I. Most bowling centres in Canada have at least one (1) PENDING and one (1) PERMANENT Record Scoreboard: PENDING - Where the CURRENT season's reported scores are posted PERMANENT - Where all STANDING record scores are posted, as compiled over all previous 5 Pin Bowling seasons A PENDING record becomes PERMANENT when all reported record scores from the Pending Scoreboard (current season) are compared with those scores on the Permanent Scoreboard (previous seasons). A pending score that exceeds a permanent score replaces the latter in the FOLLOWING SEASON. II. a) at the end of December, if any posted scores (from the Permanent Scoreboard) are beaten, the League Secretary or Designate shall fill out a Record Score Form (individual and/or team) with all the particulars. (SEE SAMPLE). NOTE: If there are no scores posted, the League Secretary or Designate should complete a record score report form and include the HIGHEST scores for these categories. b) the League Secretary or Designate shall send these forms to his/her Local Record Score Chairperson, who will forward them to the Provincial Association; c) From these scores, the Provincial Record Score Chair-person will enter the highest scores from the House and Zone Associations on a PENDING Scoreboard. Scores submitted for which there are no existing records, shall be entered on their respective scoreboard and shall constitute a "Pending Record". d) At the conclusion of the bowling season, each League Secretary or Designate shall complete an END OF THE YEAR REPORT FORM (individual and team) for ALL categories and send it to the Local Record Score Chairperson who will forward it to the Provincial Association. NOTE: This report should include the highest scores, whether or not these were previously submitted during the season (regardless of having beaten any posted scores). AT THE START OF THE FOLLOWING SEASON, NEW RECORDS WILL BE ESTABLISHED AND POSTED ON THE PERMANENT SCOREBOARD IN ALL BOWLING CENTRES. 14

17 CANADIAN 5 PIN BOWLERS' ASSOCIATION RECORD SCORES FORMAT The C5PBA Record Scores Program is designed to recognize individuals and teams for their outstanding achievements in 5 pin bowling. The program is conducted on an annual basis and scores that beat existing records are inserted in the All Time Record Scores. The Record Scores Program shall observe the following general rules. 1.
