“The International Bowl Expo is the bowling industry’s premier annual convention and trade show, and aims to provide new ways to engage attendees each year,” BPAA Executive Director Frank DeSocio said. “Thanks to the support of QubicaAMF, we are able to present a great opportunity to bring together the professional bowlers and the attendees of Bowl Expo. The Pro-Skills Challenge will provide an exciting experience right on the trade show floor and we hope everyone is able to enjoy the one-of-a-kind event.”
The partnership, new in itself, brings together the BPAA as bowling’s largest association and the industry’s largest manufacturer of bowling products in QubicaAMF. QubicaAMF has supported Bowl Expo for many years and will be the presenting sponsor of Club Expo on Thursday, June 22, from 6-9 p.m., and a supporting partner of the Sponsorship Pavilion seminars on Monday, June 19, from 3:15-4:45 p.m.

Each bowler will represent an audience member and cash prizes totaling up to $6,000 will be awarded during the event. The four pro bowlers will play two unique Skill Games, Last Pin Standing and Head Hunter, which are exclusive to the BES X Bowler Entertainment System, and bowl on two full-size SPL Select bowling lanes and XLi EDGE pinspotters.
