Inaugural TAT Cliff Castle Classic (continued from page 1) els, from the aforementioned 2002 ABC Masters champion, to someone who has just started bowling this year! In the 50+ Senior handicap division, hometown hero Larry Tull, 78, of Camp Verde, who professed to having “no bowling accomplishments” prior to this event, made the cut with a 621 qualifying score (with handicap) and reached the championship title match with a 234 (212+22), defeating Dave Inoshita of Cave Creek with 204 (176+28) and John Ball of Prescott Valley with 193 (179+14). In the Women’s handicap division, Kaylene Almy, 37, of Mesa made the cut with a 589 qualifying score (with handicap) and advanced to the championship round with a 199 (169+30), defeating Kim Wieking of Phoenix with a 172 (126+46) and Rochelle Richards with a 165 (149+16). Almy started bowling competitively in 2020, and her most significant bowling accomplishment to date was winning a TNBA Western Region tournament in Mixed Doubles in 2022. To reach the title match from the Scratch division, the Mesa resident, Arizona & Metro Phoenix Hall of Fame member, and eventual tournament champion Brett Wolfe, 47, made the cut with a 600 qualifying score and advanced to the title match with a 212, defeating fellow Metro Phoenix Hall of Famer Matt Jones of Phoenix (189) and Alec Johnson, also of Phoenix (180). 215 & Under handicap division winner Joey Lankford, 43, traveled all the way from Silver City, New Mexico and qualified with a 599 handicap series. He reached the title match with a 191 (171+20) over Josh Williams of Scottsdale, who shot 180 (176+4). Lastly, the winner of the 189 & Under handicap division, Ryan Griggs, 28, of Phoenix, who started bowling in January and switched to a 2-handed delivery in April, and who won his first tournament at a Strike Force event in late September, qualified for the finals with a 670 handicap series and advanced to the title match with a 187 (143+44) over James Strang of Phoenix with a 177 (134+43). Each of the five division winners faced off in a single-game match with handicap for the title. At the very start of the championship match, the lefty Wolfe displayed echoes of his composure of over 20 years ago by crushing the rack on his first shot even though a pan loudly crashed to the floor in a nearby restaurant during his approach. That calm in the storm foreshadowed the victory to come as each of his competitors faltered just enough along the way for him to seize the lead in the 5th frame and hold it the rest of the way, staying clean despite the difficulty of the pattern. Nevertheless, as a scratch bowler competing against others receiving handicap, he needed to

(187+9=196) $2,000; 3rd Place Kaylene Almy, Women’s Div. (176+19=195) $1,500; 4th place Ryan Griggs, 189 & Under Div. (153+27=180) $1,250; 5th place Joseph Lankford, 215 & Under Div. (157+12=169) $1,000 pick up a 10-pin in the 10th frame to assure himself of victory. Because Wolfe was entered into the Progressive Pot, he not only won an automatic $1,000 bonus to achieve the $5,000 top prize, but had a chance to win up to 70% of the fledgling pot by throwing three strikes in a row across three lanes after his victory. He ultimately struck only once on three attempts to claim 10% of the $350 available, giving him a grand total of $5,035 for his victory. The remainder of the Progressive Pot will carry over to the next event. Wolfe reflected on the event, noting, “The shot was certainly challenging, but if you weren’t afraid of playing closer to the center of the lane, you could shoot a decent score, which is all that was needed. Once I watched everyone struggle with the ball not hooking if you tried to play around the track or even farther out, I committed to staying inside and keeping the ball close to the head pin. Having a solid heavy-rolling ball that didn’t change direction violently was very helpful as my goal was to stay close to the head pin and if I did miss inside, it would give me a chance for a crossover strike. Trying to use urethane out near the track was a total non-starter this tournament. It doesn’t happen to me that often that my urethane equipment is totally ineffective, but that was the case this weekend,” he added. Discussing his approach to the championship match, Wolfe explained, “I figured everyone would be a little nervous and open frames were going to be commonplace. My goal was to bowl a clean game and never have to throw a 4 or 5 bagger to get back into the match. When I left the 10 pin in the tenth, I knew I just needed to take a deep breath and cover the spare to win. I actually took two extra breaths to slow myself down and focus. “Thanks to my wife Angie, not only for holding down the fort with three young and crazy kids, but also for understanding the time, effort, and determination needed to succeed at the highest levels. I would also like to thank John Ver-

bil and his staff for putting on the tournament and putting in the time to make it run so smoothly. Lastly, I want to thank Mike and Brandi Calderon at B3 for providing me a place to hone my craft as well as keeping me focused and grounded with my practicing.” As a titleist coming from the Scratch division, Wolfe will be ineligible for TAT Desert Southwest events for the next year, with the exception of events that have an Open division. This was the first TAT Desert Southwest event of what is expected to be roughly six per year across Arizona, New Mexico, and southern California. The TAT Des-

ert Southwest team is excited to be bringing the first independent TAT regionals to the area with several new and recurring yearly events. Event planning for 2024 is already well underway, and some of those event details will be announced soon. TAT would like to thank Storm Bowling, Coolwick, TAT Las Vegas, B3 Performance, and Out of Africa Wildlife Park for their sponsorship and prize giveaways during the tournament. TAT also thanks Robert Jackson, Jr. and his fine staff at Shake, Rattle, and Bowl, along with the entire team at Cliff Castle Casino Hotel for hosting this event. TAT hopes to return again next year and make this an annual event in Camp Verde. The next TAT regional will be over Thanksgiving weekend, November 24th-26th, at Mesa East Bowl with a Las Vegas-style event including a VIP tournament, again paying $5,000 for first place in the main event with the Progressive Pot along with discounted entry packages for those who want to take multiple shots at the big prize. See the ad in this issue for details. In addition, the TAT Amateur Nationals will be in Las Vegas in February, paying $30,000 for first place with a shot at the $83,000+ Progressive Pot. All TAT events may be entered online at tatbowl. com.

champs and finalists Amarr Bryant and Alex London captured JBT titles in exciting Arizona Conference action at the building it all started at 28 seasons age, Bowlero Kyrene in Chandler. Bryant put on a command performance in the stepladder finals, beginning with a 226-123 win over Ryan Zent. The semifinal match was a strange one as he an Aiden Ruiz-Jimenez both bowled great for nine frames then both missed makeables in the tenth, allowing Amarr to escape 236-225. Top seed Mike Jones had the best performance of his JBT career en route to his first time grabbing the number one spot. This match had the reverse of the semi, as each bowler came through in the tenth, first Mike with strikespare, then Amarr with a powerful double to claim the win 233-224 and second career JBT title. Jazmyn Meinhardt also began a climb up the stepladder finals in the handicap division, beginning with a 250-214 win over Keegan Olson. She followed that up with a 202-172 win over Isaiah Pino to reach the title game. Alex London awaited there, eager to avenge his runner-up performance at August's Desert Open. He did just that, rolling a confident game en route to a win over Meinhardt, good for his initial JBT victory. Ruiz-Jimenez completed his excellent day with an earlier win over Nathan Harnit for the U17 title. Girls Scratch went to Paityn Gaines, winning her first in that category by beating Kendall Bollea.

DESERT BOWLER October 15, 2023 7

Tucson Metro USBC Update By Mark R. Kerr Tucson Metro USBC President I want to welcome all the new bowlers taking part in Tucson’s established and new leagues in the 2023-24 season, as well as welcome back the established bowlers taking part in the leagues in the bowling centers in the Tucson area. It has been a busy time for Tucson Metro USBC since the last update, holding three tournaments and supporting a fourth. I want to congratulate Cory Knop with Ready to Strike Bowl on the successful, third annual Pay-It-Forward Tournament, held September 16 at Bowlero Tucson, which raised $9350 for Tucson’s youth bowling programs! Tucson came together and paid it forward for the future of bowling, our youth bowlers! I want to thank everyone who took part in the Senior/Not Senior, aka Sports Shot Sweeper Tournament, held September 23, at Cactus Bowl and congratulations to Shawn Whitelaw, who won the Sweeper and the free entry into the 2024 Tucson Metro USBC Masters Tournament. Tucson Metro USBC appreciated the comments on the Sweeper, publicizing the bowling pattern, which was Winding Road, for it and the Senior/Super Senior Masters events. We want to give bowlers the information and the opportunity to try the pattern out before these events, as well as the Masters and Queens and will continue to do so. On Sunday, September 24, the inaugural Tucson Metro USBC Super Senior Masters took place at Cactus Bowl and congratulations to Tucson Metro USBC Hall of Famer, Steven Hiscox for winning the first tournament and congratu-

lations on his win. A big thank you to all the Super Senior bowlers who came out and took part. You helped to make this a success and a permanent part of the schedule. The next week, September 30 – October 1, the Tucson Metro USBC Senior Masters took place, also at Cactus Bowl. Bowlers turned out and competed in qualifying on Saturday, September 30 and double elimination match play on Sunday, October 1. After qualifying and a long day of match play, Tucson Metro USBC Hall of Famer and Super Senior, Kary Harris, won the Senior Masters, defeated defending champion John Cook. Conditions were challenging and Kary won the event bowling his first 200 game in the last game of his match with John Cook. Congratulations Kary! On the weekend of November 18-19, the Tucson Metro USBC Senior Women’s Tournament will take place at Cactus Bowl. For more information, go online to tucsonmetrousbc.com, or Tucson Metro USBC’s Facebook page. During this time, Tucson’s bowling family became aware of a tragic accident that had befallen one of its promising youth bowlers, Keith Ylvisaker. Keith was in an accident in Las Vegas, Saturday September 30, that left him unconscious and had to have brain surgery. He is in the ICU and still not awake but his vitals are well and stable. Tucson’s bowling family is coming together and helping Keith and the family. A GoFundMe page has also been set up so the bowling community can show their support of this great young man and bowler, it is as: https://www.gofundme. com/f/funds-to-support-emergency-away-from-home?utm_ campaign=p_cp+share-

8 DESERT BOWLER October 15, 2023 September 29-October 1, 2023; Bowlero Mesa

Arizona Bowlers Victorious at PBA & PBA50 Virtue Bowling Supply Open The weekend of events at Bowlero Mesa in Mesa, AZ was headlined by a superb job by the staff at Virtue Bowling Supply and Bowlero Mesa. The whole weekend was filled with a talented field putting a show for the large crowd who enjoyed seeing the best compete in person. The sold out field of 76 bowlers in our regular division was dwindled down to the top 16 for Sunday’s finals. With 8 more games of eliminations on Sunday, the top 4 was set for our stepladder. The opening match between the #4 seed Darren Tang and our #3 seed, Andrew Guba was over before it started. Guba never got any ball reaction and seemed lost from start to finish as he was defeated 244-160. The semi-final match was between Tang and reigning Rookie of the Year/ 2 time regional champion,

Cortez Schenck. A big five bagger by Schenck between frames 3 and 7 game him a lead and kept his foot in the pedal as he defeated Tang; 243-200. Our championship match brought in Schenck’s good friend and our tournament leader, Bryan Hahlen from Mesa, AZ. Hahlen dominated the field from game 4 on in the tournament but in the title match he seemed to never get into a rhythm and have the look he had all day. Schenck won his third title easily; 218-180 and $2,500. The PBA50 side of things this weekend brought a lot of local talent out to test their skills in the PBA. Our field of 40 bowlers was narrowed down 13 for Sunday’s finals. During the first round, we saw a big move from Eric Adolphson who shot 836 his middle 3 games that helped propel him to the lead and never look back the

rest of the day. The opening round match in our stepladder was between the #4 seed and 28 time Regional champion, Michael Haugen Jr against the #3 seed Bob Wiley. Haugen’s veteran experience helped him skip by Wiley 229-171. The semifinal match brought in our #2 seed and 17 time Regional champion; Curtis Woods Jr of Santa Rosa, Ca. The train kept rolling for Haugen and he defeated Woods 278216 and advance to the title match. Our #1 seed; Eric Adolphson won his lone Regional title 34 years ago in Phoenix and was hoping to end that drought after two second places finishes earlier this year already. After a few shots that wiggled outside for Adolphson, he got lined up too late as he lost to Haugen 224-220. This was Haugen’s 29th title of his historic career.

Five “Wackos” From Waco Are Wonders At Elias Cup

by Dave Williams It’s fun to watch team bowling. There’s an extra rush of adrenaline that’s released into the body when all the members of a team are together and performing as one. That feeling of excitement was transferred into the crowd Wednesday night, to create what they like to refer to as the Bayside Bowl experience from Portland (in Maine, not Oregon). The Waco Wonders — including Ryan Ciminelli, Parker Bohn, Jason Sterner, BJ Moore, Frank Snodgrass and Hall of Fame manager Johnny Petraglia — went on to claim the franchise’s first Elias Cup victory this week in the PBA League at Bayside Bowl. Another Hall of Fame member, sixty-yearsyoung Parker Bohn, was the sentimental favorite on the team from Waco, but it was Ryan Ciminelli that won the hearts of fans with strike after strike in crucial situations. According to Nolan Hughes in an article that appeared at pba. com, Ciminelli struck on almost 70% of his shots (23 of 33), during

(Waco Wonders logo provided by pba.com) the Waco Wonders nine televised games this week. That Included many “strike or go home” tenth frames, according to Hughes, which prompted Tom Clark, PBA Commissioner, to award Ciminelli with the PBA League MVP for 2023. “I might have the MVP trophy, but today that was a team effort,” said Ryan in a moment of humility. Ciminelli’s comment reminds me of a humorous moment that I have shared over the years from the California State Bowling Association Tournament in 1977. I searched the internet trying to find my recollection of that event, but it must have been a dream I had about publishing the story, and not reality. In case anyone does find the story in print, my apologies… just chalk it up to old age!

The California State Tournament of 1977 The 1977 USBC (then ABC) tournament was to be held at two locations relatively close to my home — Kings Bowl and Millbrae Bowl, both located along the El Camino Real in the San Francisco peninsula town of Millbrae. Due to the fact that I had been traveling the PBA circuit the previous couple of years, I decided to try and field a team with my new found friends. Larry Laub (my chauffeur) and Ron Lisher (my roommate) were the first on my list, and they both said yes. Next up came Rich Carrubba from Hayward, and Tim Harahan from Marina Del Rey. Carrubba was an instant yes, but I had to coax Tim into joining by naming the team after his new bowling center, Hawthorne Bowl, located about 30 minutes south from his home on “The 405.” We were all set to bowl when Lisher received a call the night before from Larry Laub. He had dislocated his shoulder, which was not uncommon. He told Ron not to worry and that he found a replacement (another pro) that would be there the next day to compete in the team event. The following day we literally tore up the lanes, with the exception of our last minute backup. Lisher led the team with 720, and I was fortunate to follow his lead with 685. I don’t remember the actual scores for Carrubba and Harahan, but they were both in the 640-650 range. Our substitute, who shall remain nameless, was not on the same wave-link as the rest of the team, and checked in with a 495 series. In the last frame, he was working on a strike in the ninth frame, and left the 7-10 split. In utter frustration, he just threw the second shot away. “What are you doing,” asked Harahan. “You just threw away 2 pins that we might need.” In the end, Tim’s comment was psychic, as we did indeed lose the scratch title by one pin. The Brooklyn Connection It’s only fitting that the Waco Wonders team, formerly known as the Brooklyn Styles (until 2020), is managed by Petraglia, whose heavy Brooklyn accent once kept him from being a part of the AMF Staff of Champions. That worked out just fine, as Petraglia went on to sign with Brunswick and placed his autograph on all those Johnny

Petraglia LT-48 bowling balls that provided him with a giant royalty check each year. The PBA League has now been in existence for more than 10 years, although no competition was held in 2021, due to the COVID confusion. The league has been dominated by three of the franchises: hometown favorite Portland Lumberjacks (3 titles), Silver Lake Atom Splitters, also with 3 titles, and the Dallas Strikers with 2 titles. The only other winner was the New York City Kingpins in 2013. This year the winning team received $100,000, or $20,000 per bowler. It’s interesting that the PBA league is named after the founder of the PBA, Eddie Elias. His dream, to fashion the Pro Bowlers Tour after professional golf, led to lucrative television contracts, but also completely stifled competitive team bowling. It’s ironic that during the team era of bowling, keglers were earning well in excess of other professional athletes, including the highest paid pro baseball players. So, you could say that the founding of the PBA significantly improved the situation of both television audiences and those behind the scenes; but put a damper on the income of the professional bowlers that are still struggling monetarily to keep up with other professional sports. You have to ask yourself what might have been if the National Bowling League — the PBA’s rival bowling concept in the 1950’s and 60’s, would have prevailed… ___________________ TARGET STORES CLOSING LOCATIONS — Target Stores will close their Portland locations (in Oregon, not Maine), effective October 21st, 2023. The company cited ongoing retail theft, from which there appears to be no remedy, according to local authorities. One of the locations is at 939 S.W. Morrison Street - the retrofitted AMF Pro 300 Lanes that we wrote about in August-September of 2021.

Bowlerettes has been a big part of my life for more than 25 years. There is so much more to being a member of the Arizona Bowlerettes than just the love of bowling. I look forward each month to meeting new members, and seeing and talking with current Bowlerettes that I have met over the years. It’s fun and challenging to experience the different tournaments & lanes conditions at bowling centers other than my home house. I have only been a Bowlerette for a few years but I have bowled at so many centers I never would have had an opportunity to bowl in if not for AZ Bowlerettes.

Wonders Sweep Lumberjacks to Win 2023 PBA Elias Cup The Portland Lumberjacks selected Kris Prather with the first pick of the 2019 PBA League draft. They had not lost since — until September 27th.. The Snickers Waco Wonders, led by Ryan Ciminelli and Parker Bohn III, spoiled the Lumberjacks’ bid for a fourth straight Elias Cup title, sweeping the hometown team to win the 2023 PBA League Elias Cup presented by Pabst Blue Ribbon. The Wonders — who include Ciminelli, Bohn, Jason Sterner, BJ Moore, Frank Snodgrass and manager Johnny Petraglia — traveled a long road to claim the franchise’s first-ever Elias Cup. Waco qualified in seventh during the seeding round, escaped the play-in stepladder with wins over Milwaukee and Motown, beat NYC in the quarterfinals, and outstruck Dallas in a three-round rolloff. With all four non-Bohn players rocking a vintage Parker Bohn mustache — Waco defeated Portland 247-204, 247-231 and 267-252 to sweep the best-of-five championship match. Ryan Ciminelli was named the Mark Roth PBA League MVP by PBA Commissioner Tom Clark. Ciminelli struck on 70% of his shots (23/33) during the Wonders’ nine televised games, which included multiple strike-or-go-home 10th frames. “I might have the MVP trophy, but today that’s a team effort," Ciminelli said. "We had a strategy that worked almost flawlessly." Ciminelli eliminated the team he played for in 2022, the Pabst Blue Ribbon Milwaukee Pounders, in the play-in round, then took out another former team in Portland tonight. “I had a chip on my shoulder, and honestly it just kept getting bigger,” he added after tonight’s victory. “I just wanted to keep proving myself — I don’t feel like I should have to any more, before this week even, it gets frustrating — but I think I did it again. Beyond Ciminelli, the entirety of the Wonders embraced the role of the underdog. The team averaged a finish of 52nd on the 2023 points list and ranked last in the PBA’s stat-based power rankings before the league. Regardless of any outside noise, the Wonders built their team with intent and conviction. “We picked this squad because everyone bowls with a chip on their shoulder,” Moore said. “We wanted a dog in every fight. We didn't want someone that came out with some talent and threw a pretty ball. We wanted some dogs that were ready to get down in the dirt.” “We didn't have a star studded team, but we had heart and soul,” Bohn said. “We had five guys with Johnny behind us that were dig-

ging in every shot." Bohn, who made the semifinals of the USBC Masters earlier this year and turned 60 years old in July, has achieved almost every conceivable accolade in professional bowling. But he hadn’t etched his name on the Elias Cup until tonight.

“I've been very fortunate in the bowling world,” Bohn said. “But when you can go out and win an event like this and share it with five guys, I’ll remember this literally for the rest of my life." ELIAS CUP FINALS SCORES Snickers Waco Wonders def. Portland Lumberjacks, 3-0

16 DESERT BOWLER October 15, 2023

NORTHERN Arizona Bowlerettes by Karen Blomgren, NAZB VP Yippee! It’s time to start a new NORTHERN Arizona Bowlerette season! To kick-off the 2023-2024 season, we headed to Camp Verde! There we bowled at Shake, Rattle, & Bowl located inside of Cliff Castle Casino. 60+ ladies made the quick & enjoyable trip to Camp Verde (we packed that house - not an empty lane to be had!). Our colorful shirts were seen everywhere as we prepared to face the challenging lanes at that center! The officers & directors were ready to greet the ladies (seems like we get ready earlier and earlier with every tournament!), and check-in got under way. Sec/Treas Pam Cirasole checked the ladies in, collected their entry fees, and directed them to their lanes. Next to her was Director Brenda Peaslee who was busy handing out a ticket to each lady. Someone’s lucky ticket would get drawn later on to win a free entry to our next tournament! Director Kay Monagle (standing in for her daughter Director Ann Monagle) was next and she was busy selling 50/50 tickets. Then came VP Karen Blomgren (standing in for Director Grace Dominick) who was snatching up money for the tickets for three tremendous raffle prizes provided by Prez Linda Tilley. And Linda was also a busy bee as she welcomed our new members and

filled shirt orders. Organized chaos is what we are known for, and it was in evidence! VP Karen Blomgren had a sign listing the ladies’ birthdays for the month of September, and we wish them well. Happy Birthday to Karla Gibbons (9/1), Cherri Holleman (9/7), Myrna Dragon (9/9), Kathy Houchin (9/15), Barbara Smith (9/15), Barbara Palmer (9/18), Sherron Steinman (9/19), Ellen Giannone (9/20), Pam Cirasole (9/21), and Loretta Hood (9/25). Happy birthday ladies!! Looking for winners? Here they are! In Division #1 (ladies with averages up to and including 145), Joan Comfort was the “leader of the pack” with a 659! Way to go Joan! She was followed by Sherron Steinman (651), Naomi Bronson (634), Vicky Jacquez (630), Kathy Houchin (628), Michelle Broxmeyer (626), Patty Willis (620), Mysti Huston (620), Nancy Shott (607), Juliette Piercy (597), Toni Sherrill (594), Monika Menser (593), Linda Nelson (592), Linda Evans (587), Shirley Wiseman (574), Rosanna Singleton (568), Carol Hollis (568), Rachel Culp (567), and Donna Wilson (563). Nineteen ladies out of thirty-eight placed in Division #1! Ladies, that is awesome! Now, it’s on to Division #2. In Division #2 (ladies with averages of 146 and above), Lean Looi

Cullen (638), was the top bowler! Way to go Lean Looi! She was followed by Margaret Albright (609), Chris Healy (603), Judy Salyers (601), Valeries Ames (580), Carla Little (578), and Brenda Peaslee (562). Seven ladies out of fourteen placed in Division #2. Nice going ladies! And we aren’t done with winners! Linda Nelson was beaming as her ticket was drawn! She wins a free entry to our October tournament! The following ladies came zooming up as their tickets were pulled for 50/50 & raffle prizes: Joan Comfort, Kay Price, Judy Salyers, Norma Gillett, Naomi Bronson, Linda Tilley, and Susan Thompson! You lucky ducks!! We would like to welcome the following ladies to our group: Rachel Culp, Shirl Wiseman, and Kristie LaShier. So glad you have

chosen to become part of our grand group! With Tournament #1 under our belts, we are now getting ready for our October tournament. On October 21st, 2023, we will be motoring to Johnson Lanes Sports Pavilion in Sun City West. There we will bowl 3 regular games. Feel free to come watch the fun if you are in the area that day! The NORTHERN Arizona Bowlerettes are an AWESOME group of ladies of all ages from all over Northern, Central, and Western Arizona! Ladies do NOT have to be sanctioned to bowl with this group. If this interests you, please contact Sec/Treas Pam Cirasole (928-227-1258). New members are always joyfully welcomed! Stay safe, stay strong, and hug each other - now more than ever!

2025 USBC Women's Championships to be Held in Las Vegas

ARLINGTON, Texas – The United States Bowling Congress Women’s Championships will return to the South Point Bowling Plaza in Las Vegas for the 2025 event through an agreement between USBC and the South Point Hotel and Casino. The tournament originally was scheduled to be held in Reno, Nevada, in 2025, but the opportunity to host the 105th edition of the event reopened after Reno agreed to host the 2024 USBC Women’s Championships at the National Bowling Stadium. The event previously was held in the 60-lane tournament venue in 2016 and 2023. The 2023 Women’s Championships ran from April 23-July 2. “We’re glad to once again work with our partners at the South Point Hotel and Casino to bring the USBC Women’s Championships back to Las Vegas in 2025,” USBC President Melissa McDaniel said. “We recently concluded a successful tournament at this great venue, and we look forward to bringing another incredible experience to our bowlers alongside the team at South Point.” The South Point Bowling Pla-

za opened its doors to USBC’s long-duration events at the 2016 Women’s Championships, and the venue will host the USBC Open Championships for the fifth time in 2024. “This past Women’s Championships was very successful here at the South Point, so we could not be more excited to have them back in 2025,” South Point Hotel and Casino General Manager Ryan Growney said. “The USBC is an absolute pleasure to work with and everyone here at the South Point loves having the USBC bowlers on our property. We look forward to this event as much as any on our calendar. We appreciate the USBC having the confidence in us to host this prestigious event once again.” The upcoming schedule for the Women’s Championships also will feature an opening for a new location for the 2027 event. USBC is evaluating proposals for alternate locations with a preference to hold the event in the eastern United States.
