If you meet certain eligibility requirements, you have the opportunity of a lifetime to compete in the USBC Masters, one of four “major” tournaments on the Professional Bowlers Association Tour schedule.
The USBC Masters began as an invitational event showcasing national and local bowling stars and has grown in popularity over the years. While the event has evolved over the years, its trademark qualifying and double-elimination match play format has remained largely unchanged. You’ll start by rolling 10 games of qualifying, with the top 25 percent of the field returning for five more games to determine the top 63 players. If you get that far, you and those qualifiers join the previous year’s champion in the double-elimination bracket.
Join the hundreds of competitors who turn out for the Masters each year and set your sights set on one of the biggest prize funds in bowling. The tournament field, which now includes women, also features bowlers from all 50 states and a handful of foreign countries.
The Masters is open to any USBC league member who has averaged 190 or higher for 21 games during the past two seasons, any non-USBC league member who is classified by the PBA as a Full Member, any bowler who has averaged 190 or higher in his/her past five USBC Tournaments and any state/provincial representatives who have placed first or second in the all-events category of their association tournament.
