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 regional tournaments coinciding with Classic Series events, the qualifiers for the final event (top 24 players after 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.
