PBA Offers Convenient Entry
Process for World Series of Bowling

The inaugural Professional Bowlers Association World Series of Bowling (WSOB) is just about a month away and bowlers can take advantage of a convenient entry process to get into the tournament field.

Non-members are invited to download the non-member entry form which lists all of the event options, and fax, e-mail or mail the form to PBA Headquarters. PBA members can enter online, or by telephone.

The WSOB gets underway with the PBA Motor City Open which will take place at longtime PBA host center Taylor Lanes in Taylor, Mich., from Aug. 2-6. The remaining six World Series of Bowling events, including the return of the PBA Women’s Series presented by BOWL.COM, and a revamped PBA Senior World Championship will be held at Thunderbowl Lanes in Allen Park, Mich. The revolutionary festival of competitive bowling boasts a $2 million prize fund and seven ESPN telecasts.


Bowlers can compete in seven Lumber Liquidators PBA Tour events, including two open events which are open to any bowler. All tournaments will culminate with ESPN-televised finals. There also will be five PBA Women’s Series presented by BOWL.COM events and a PBA Senior World Championship.



The Tournament Qualifying Round entry fee is $300 for members and $325 for non-members. Open

tournament entry fee is $500 for members and $600 for non-members. Members and non-members may

enter through http://www.pba.com/worldseries/tournamententries.html while members may also use the

special entry hotline, (206) 654-6025.



The PBA World Series of Bowling is an excellent destination tournament with TQRs bundled on the weekends to allow non-exempt players and non-members alike the chance to participate in several tournaments, side events and sweepers in a single weekend.



By entering all PBA World Series of Bowling TQRs prior to July 23, players will receive a 20 percent discount on seven sweepers and side events. All entries will be handled on-site for sweepers and side events.



The Lumber Liquidators PBA Tour field features an expanded field of 72 players for the World Series of Bowling with at least 10 spots to be awarded through TQRs. All bowlers who qualify through the TQRs will cash.



The PBA Women’s Series presented by BOWL.COM has expanded its fields to 20 spots, allowing a minimum of two spots to come from each TQR.



There will not be a limit to the number of bowlers who can enter the Motor City Open, or the PBA, PBA Senior or Women’s World Championships.
