Bowling Writers Association of America. MUBIG DATA CENTRAL. A Brief History The Multi Unit Bowling Information Group known as MUBIG was a spin-off of the original BPAA Chain Committee. The first meeting was held on August 7, 1974 in Baltimore, MD with astounding attendance by 20 companies comprised of 500 bowling centers and 17,000 lanes. Their objective was to set up an organization to compile important data and become the group to represent chains to BPAA and proprietors in general. Early on, they modeled their compilation of data to that of the hotel industry. Further study brought the decision to base their information on lines per lane. This would be submitted to an independent public accounting firm who would compile the data without revealing figures on an individual company basis. The results were startling and MUBIG’s statistical findings became the “biblical guide” for the bowling industry.

Today MUBIG is comprised of over 30 members operating 673 centers and 25,614 lanes. Bowling. A ten-pin bowler releases the ball. Playing bowls at West End Bowling Club, UK.

In pin bowling variations, the target is usually to knock over pins at the end of a lane. In target variations, the aim is usually to get the ball as close to a mark as possible.
