HOME

The Southern California Nikkei Bowling Association was organized to help increase the general interest in the game of bowling within the heritage of the Japanese culture and community — allowing its members to foster and encourage the spirit of good fellowship, keen competition, sportsmanship, and fair dealings in all its bowling activities.

SCNBA donated to the National Bowling Museum in Arlington, Texas and received a brick on the walkway to the USBC Headquarters entrance.

Tournament average rule change for 2017-18 Season and moving forward: All averages established on a Sport or Challenge condition must be adjusted utilizing the USBC Sport Average Adjustment Scale found on BOWL.com. The adjusted average must be used if it is the highest average.
