Those selected are invited to participate in this event consisting of 3 qualifying rounds held over 3 days. Only the top 8 male and top 8 female bowlers will advance to the semi-final, best of 3 games, matches. Finally, the top 2 male and top 2 female bowlers compete head-to-head for the title of World's Best Male and World's Best Female Bowler for 2005.

The Venue
This will be the second time the World Ranking Masters will be held in the United States , both times at the Kegel Training Center in Lake Wales , FL USA. The Kegel Training Center has 12 WTBA sanctioned lanes that are fully adjustable, allowing for the flattest bowling surface possible. Also, all lanes are equipped with state of the art C.A.T.S. ball motion sensors giving the bowler a clear view of their shot by shot performance.

Ammenities

Built in 2003, the Kegel Training Center features comfortable seating for up to 244 people, on-site Pro Shop, Refreshment Area, Wireless Internet Access, Meeting Rooms, Video Coaching, Factory Tours, and the Kegel SkyBox is available by invitation only for our most distinguished guests.

Hotels
We recommend the following hotels due to their quality and closeness to major airports and the tournament.

Distance
Orlando Airport (MCO) to these hotels is approximately 45 - 60 minutes. Kegel Traning Center from the hotel is approximately 15 - 20 minutes

The deadline for hotel bookings is March 1, 2005 . If you are booking rooms after this date, we cannot guarantee you any rooms at the hotel, which means, that the players will be responsible for their own transportation between the hotel and the bowling center during the WRM 2005.
