GREEN BAY, Wis. –
Nearly 400 competitors age 50 and older have made their way to The Ashwaubenon Bowling Alley in Green Bay, Wisconsin, for the 2023 edition of the United States Bowling Congress Senior Championships.

The 2023 event begins Tuesday with the official practice sessions for each of the divisions, and qualifying will take place Wednesday and Thursday. The championship rounds in each division will take place Friday to conclude the tournament.

The 2023 USBC Senior Championships will feature competition across two divisions – Mixed and Women’s – in six age-based classifications – 50-54, 55-59, 60-64, 65-69, 70-74, 75 and older.

The national tournament welcomes bowlers from the United States and Canada who earned their spot through either a state or province senior tournament.

Competitors will bowl one three-game block for each day of qualifying, with one set being contested on the fresh oil pattern and one on the burn.

The top six scores in each division after six games, including handicap, will advance to Friday’s championship rounds, which are scheduled to start at 10 a.m. Eastern.

The qualifying scores will not be carried over to the championship rounds, but bonus pins will be awarded to each player based on their qualifying position. The top qualifier in the division will receive 50 bonus pins, while the second seed will receive 40. Bonus pins will decrease by 10 pins for each spot, with the sixth qualifier receiving zero bonus pins.

The championship rounds will feature three games, and the bowlers rolling to the top total, including handicap and bonus pins, will earn the title in their division at the 2023 Senior Championships.
