We travel in September to Detroit, November to Cincinnati, February to Toledo and April to Cleveland.  We have been in existence for over 20 years.  Each city has a friendly competition for the Bowling Belt.  Come help bring the Belt back to Cincinnati.

Cost:  $50 per person for each city traveled.  The $50 covers Bid Whist, Bowling, and Fellowship (Hospitality and Banquet).  It is a $50 total no matter if you participate in 1 or all events.  $25 for guests that attend the banquet.  There is a dress code for the banquet.

Bid Whist:  Teams of two.  Please be advised it is a no kitty tournament. Anyone can participate to represent their city.  There are monetary placings depending on the number of games won by the pair. Bid Whist tournament occurs on Friday evening for each host city at the host hotel.

Bowling:  Teams of 5.  At least one woman must be in each team.  You should have a USBC average.  If any bowler does not have a USBC average they will be given a 220 average for the tournament.  The city Association leadership will attempt to have full teams and will help place bowlers to make a full team,  If that can not be achieved the team will use the blind of a 220 average to complete the team.  Bowling occurs on Saturday for each host city at a bowling center that will be announced.
