Why YOU should join the USBA....

Your USBA membership brings you:

EDITORIAL COMMENT

You may ask- why bother joining now that information is free on the net? Well, remember that all you get on the net is current information- no membership, none of the publications. You still can't play in sanctioned tournaments, or vote, or take advantage of some of the other items above. But more importantly, the USBA runs on membership monies like any other group so will not be able to maintain a web site UNLESS YOU DO JOIN! It's cheap - you already pay a heck of a lot more each year for shuttles alone. By joining you are encouraging the USBA to post _more_ information here!

Note that I am a Life Member of USBA, and am assisting them with these initial web postings, but am otherwise not associated with the organization. Please consider joining NOW!
