The bowling competition will require a combination of physical and psychological endurance as well as polished technical skills but people of all age groups can bowl all the year-round at their local centers. Since the game is popular everywhere in the world, the competition should promote friendship among participants and spectators alike.

The officially recognized international events are: singles, doubles, team-of-five, individual all-events and masters. Each individual plays three rounds, with each round consisting of six games; rankings will be decided by total scores.

The preliminary round in the masters' competition narrows the number of contestants to 16. This group of 16 then plays individual games against one another. Each contestant plays 16 games at this stage, receiving 10 points for each win and 5 points for a tie. Three finalists are selected at the end of this round.

The 2nd and 3rd place finishers then play one game against each other, with the loser finishing in third and the winner advancing to the final match. This person and whoever finished first in the group of the 16 round play for the championship.
