Top 50 Motivational Rankings for 6/4/22-6/10/22

More notes before we start:

1. Style points count. You’ll see that down the list.
2. Just a reminder, I’m a ‘What have you done for me lately’ guy, so a team that did great last year but is bowling like dishwater now is not going to be on this list.
3. If you’re not in a play-off spot in your district. You’re not making the list.
4. While #1 is Tour Stop Play, Team Rankings / WCS / Tournament Results DO count here, because if they do well and a team uses these people in a UBA Tour Stop, then there’s no reason why not to think they will be just as good at a tour stop as they are in a tournament, etc.
5. Keep in mind that with over 200 teams competing this season, this list represents less than the top 25% of the UBA. If you’re on here, consider that some kudos.
6. This is for fun. Don’t get salty, get motivated.
7. I love all feedback, so keep it coming 🙂

So here we go with this week’s rankings….
