How to Report a 300 Game to the Bowling Hall of Fame

The Holy Grail of bowling is the perfect game.

Bowling is one of America's most popular pastimes. Most bowling centers host leagues on nearly every night through the winter months, and one of the goals of every league bowler is a perfect game, which is a score of 300. Once you have finally achieved your perfect game in league play, it's only natural to want to see your name on the national list of others who have done the same.

Instructions

1. Notify your league secretary and the local association of your score. Keep in mind that you only have 48 hours to do so, according to the United States Bowling Congress (USBC).

2. Ask your league secretary for the Baker 300 application.

3. Complete the Baker 300 application and return it to your league secretary to sign.

4. Mail the application to the USBC. Normally your league secretary or the bowling center will do this but it needs to be postmarked within 48 hours.

5. Wait for a response from the USBC, which will state when your score will be placed on the perfect game national list. It may take a couple of weeks.

Tips & Warnings

• It is always advisable to let the bowling center or league secretary take care of the mailing. Normally this is done the morning after the perfect game.
