United States Bowling Congress Hall of Fame

Election to the United States Bowling Congress Hall of Fame is the highest honor USBC can bestow for extraordinary contribution to the sport, on and off the lanes.

The USBC Hall of Fame was created in 2005 by merging the halls of fame of the American Bowling Congress (founded in 1941) and the Women's International Bowling Congress (founded in 1953). The USBC Hall of Fame is governed by the USBC Hall of Fame Committee.

The USBC Hall of Fame consists of Superior Performance, Outstanding USBC Performance and Meritorious Service categories. Only candidates in the Meritorious Service category require a nomination (see the "Nomination Forms section" on this page for more information). Superior Performance and Outstanding Performance candidates are automatically eligible for review by the Hall of Fame Committee upon meeting the minimum eligibility criteria (criteria can be found here). Candidates in all categories are elected by the USBC Hall of Fame committee.
