Pro Bowling has taken a leap into the world of NFTs, as the Professional Bowlers Association (PBA) and Bowlero launch ‘The League Bowler Certification Awards’ (LBC). This groundbreaking initiative utilizes NFTs on Avalanche to recognize outstanding bowling achievements.
The LBC aims to reward approximately 300,000 league participants with NFT rewards for their remarkable feats. Developed by Layer 3 Labs on a dedicated Avalanche subnet, the system ensures seamless operation, allowing bowlers to easily earn NFT rewards without the need for cryptocurrency.
Unlike traditional NFTs, these rewards come in the form of Soulbound tokens, making them non-transferable and non-saleable.
The innovative LBC system celebrates various bowling milestones, including scoring a 200-game, achieving a perfect 300-game, reaching a 700 or 800 series, and surpassing the player’s average by 50 or 100 pins. To be eligible for these coveted NFT rewards, bowlers must be active members of the PBA’s LBC program and have a LeaguePals account.
In the second phase of the program, the PBA’s LBC Awards will introduce a dynamic points-based system. In addition to earning distinctive NFT rewards, bowlers will accumulate points for each achievement, which can be redeemed for exclusive offers and enticing prizes.
“Bowlero Corp’s Chief Strategy Officer, Lev Ekster, expressed their commitment to enhancing the league bowler experience through innovative technology.
Bowlero and PBA have partnered with Layer 3 Labs, a leading company in transitioning traditional brands to Web3, to bring this unique rewards system to life. By utilizing an Avalanche subnet, potential congestion issues are eliminated, ensuring uninterrupted program operation.
Successful bowlers will be rewarded on the PBA’s LeaguePals platform, with no requirement to own cryptocurrency. This inclusive approach allows all league participants, regardless of their familiarity with blockchain technology, to benefit from this transformative awards system.
The launch of the LBC by PBA and Bowlero showcases the pioneering utilization of NFTs on Avalanche to honor sports achievements. This initiative demonstrates the extensive potential of on-chain digital assets in various domains.
