High Score Rings
Bowling a USBC certified 300 game or 800 series entitles you to a Saladium award ring, however, you can upgrade your award ring in many affordable ways.

You may also purchase rings for other achievements such as 299 games, 298 games or 11 strikes in a row, starting at $69.95, less than ½ the retail value! www.keepsakebowling.com

Adult
Your USBC Adult Membership includes recognition for your most significant achievements in sanctioned competition, including rings and plaques for an 800 series and 300 game, an 11-in-a-row trophy and award magnets for a wide variety of outstanding accomplishments. These magnets are great opportunities to display the emblems of your achievements in public places such as cubicle walls or refrigerator doors where they can help spread the word about our sport.

Youth
As a USBC Youth bowler, one of your most memorable moments on the lanes comes when you shoot that first 200 game, or your first 600 series. As you improve you may reach the ultimate achievement of a 300 game or an 800 series. If this describes a recent achievement of yours, then you've come to the right place: Here, you can download forms for both Special Achievement Awards (patches for games from 50-275 or series from 100-750) and High Score Awards (300 Games, 800 Series, or 11 in a Row). Click below to download these forms now.

Sport
Few bowling achievements are more fulfilling than that first honor score on the most challenging conditions the sport has to offer: the “sport” shot. A 300 game or an 800 series on the most demanding lane patterns in the sport truly reflects your skill level and should be a source of great pride for you as a bowler. That is why the honor score awards for sport league bowlers are the most impressive that the USBC offers, including genuine gold and sterling silver rings for 300s and 800s, acrylic plaques for such feats as a 299 game or 11-in-a-row, and crystal bowling pins for an 800 series in addition to other awards.

Certificates
Pick up a 7-10 split in league recently? How about a big four conversion? Or did you record an all-spare game? Print your own customizable certificates for these accomplishments and more through our newly updated Printable Certificates Program, which enables you to openly display certificates in your home or office commemorating that special bowling moment. Certificates feature a sleek, modern design along with your name and the date on which you accomplished your achievement– all available with just the click of a button. Certificates are available for conversions of the 7-10 split or the big four as well as an all-spare game, Dutch 200 game, triplicate, 100 pins over average, multiple 300 games in a season, multiple 800 series in a season or defeating your bowling coach.
