The PWBA Regional program is in place to give up-and-coming players the opportunity to get familiar with PWBA competition.
PWBA Regional events are single-day tournaments that include eight games of qualifying before the field is cut to the top four competitors for a stepladder final.
To be eligible to enter a PWBA Regional event, a female competitor must average at least 180, and the field size will be determined by the number of lanes available at each center.
PWBA Tour national champions, regardless of membership status at the time of their win, will not be eligible to compete in any PWBA Regional event. For the three regional tournaments coinciding with Classic Series events, the qualifiers for the final event (top 24 players after 18 games of qualifying through the first two events) also will not be eligible for those specific regional events.
The cost to enter a PWBA Regional event is $100 for a member and $150 for a non-member.
There are two PWBA Regional competitions currently scheduled for 2022 during the PWBA Tour season. The regionals are scheduled to take place after the PWBA Rockford Open on May 15 at The Cherry Bowl in Rockford, Illinois, and after the PWBA Twin Cities Open on May 29 at Cedarvale Lanes in Eagan, Minnesota. More information on each event will be available at a later date.
