Where to Find the NDBC Rule Book, Tournament Flyers & Results, and Suspension List on NDBC.org
Updated
NDBC.org is the official site of the National Duckpin Bowling Congress, and the resources you're looking for—the Rule Book, tournament flyers and results, and the suspension list—are all published as named sections on the site's home page. The home page lists these as distinct headings: Latest News, Award Recognition, Tournament Flyers & Results, NDBC Rule Book, and Suspension List. If you're on the home page, scan the section headings for the one matching your need and open it; each heading is the entry point to that category of official material.
NDBC Rule Book
The NDBC Rule Book section is where the Congress publishes its rules for the sport. Use it when you need the governing regulations for league or tournament play, eligibility, or scoring rather than news or rankings. Because it appears as its own heading on the home page, you can reach it directly from the main navigation area without going through the news feed.
Tournament Flyers & Results
The Tournament Flyers & Results section covers two related needs in one place:
- Flyers — announcements for upcoming tournaments, which is where you'd look to find an event to enter or attend.
- Results — posted outcomes once tournaments have been held.
If you're trying to confirm whether a specific tournament happened or who placed, this is the section to check rather than Latest News.
Suspension List
The Suspension List section publishes the names of individuals under suspension by the Congress. Consult it when you need to verify a bowler's standing—for example, before registering a participant in an NDBC-sanctioned event or confirming whether someone is currently eligible to compete.
Latest News and Award Recognition
Two other home-page sections carry updates that often overlap with the resources above:
- Latest News — announcements from the Congress. Recent items include the 2025–2026 NDBC National Rankings (congratulating Lisa Huber and Colby DeAntoniis as #1 Bowler of the Year) and a leadership change notice regarding the retirement of Executive Director Laura Bowden and the Board's approval of a new Executive Director at its August 8 quarterly meeting.
- Award Recognition — recognition of top-ranked bowlers. Per the site, since 1928 duckpin bowling's highest achievement has been to be named a top-ranked bowler, with one male and one female bowler ranked #1 each year; honorees receive a hand-crafted, blown-glass trophy and have their names added to the National Trophy display.

Context on the Organization
The National Duckpin Bowling Congress was established on September 8, 1927, and describes itself as the parent and supervising duckpin bowling organization in the United States. The site notes duckpin bowling is found predominantly on the East Coast—in Virginia, Maryland, Connecticut, Rhode Island, and Massachusetts—as well as in North Carolina, West Virginia, Indiana, and Pennsylvania. That geographic scope is useful context if you're searching for a league or tournament near you before checking the flyers section.
