To Earn and maintain points, a competitor must be a NPBA member in good standing. NPBA points will start accumulating as soon as the NPBA membership is received in the NPBA office. If a member joins NPBA at a local sanction show, points will be awarded beginning the date of that show. The competition year starts January 1st to December 31st of the current year.
NPBA members (Youth and Adult) may accumulate points in only one state during the competition year noted on their membership application. NPBA members will be assigned to the state where they live unless the NPBA Office is notified on the application that they wish to compete in another state. If a NPBA member changes states during the NPBA calendar year, the points from the initial state do not transfer to the new state; therefor those points are lost. The NPBA member will begin earning points in the new state the date of change.
Divisions are Determined by time brackets for both NPBA local, NPBA Regional Shows, and NPBA Super Shows. The fastest time in the class will set the time for the awarded points.
