Details
The PWBA Classic Series - Grand Rapids is the first Classic Series event on the 2023 PWBA Tour schedule.
The three national tour stops during the Classic Series - Grand Rapids will be:
May 31-June 2, PWBA Grand Rapids Classic
June 3-4, PWBA BowlTV Classic
June 5-6, PWBA Great Lakes Classic
FORMAT
The first two tournaments in the Classic Series event (PWBA Grand Rapids Classic and PWBA BowlTV Classic) will be open to the entire field of entrants, while the third event (PWBA Great Lakes Classic) will use the qualifying totals from the first two tournaments to determine which players will compete in the final tournament.
The format for the first two events in the Classic Series will consist of two six-game qualifying blocks, with the top 12 advance to bowl two six-game rounds of round-robin match play. After the conclusion of match play, the top five bowlers will advance to the stepladder finals.
The final tournament will welcome the top 24 competitors based on the combined qualifying totals (24 games) from the first two events. The 24 advancers will bowl three eight-game rounds of round-robin match play to determine the top five for the stepladder finals (total pins from the 24 games of qualifying will not carry over to this event).
