Questions and answers

What fee must bowling center guests pay?

Guests will be required to pay the same user fee as charged the sponsoring participant, or higher if the command has established a graduated fee for that activity. (paragraph 2)

How should bowling programs be selected and adjusted?

Ultimately, programmers must use their own best judgement in program selection, but only after they have weighed all the facts and carefully analyzed the particular needs of their installation. Once a program is under way, programmers must continue to evaluate its progress and make adjustments as needed to better serve the participants. (paragraph 5)

What activities are included among organized recreation programs?

Some of the main types of organized activities include classes, contests and tournaments, leagues, and special events. (paragraph 2)

What is required when planning classes?

Where needs and interests are evident, classes should be planned, scheduled, and conducted. (paragraph 3)

What is required for program evaluation?

A programmer should use at least two of these methods to develop an accurate and valid evaluation. (paragraph 2)
