Competitors headed to the 2022 United States Bowling Congress Open Championships in Las Vegas again will find a variety of opportunities to prepare for their time on the biggest stage in bowling, available to them under one roof at the South Point Hotel, Casino & Spa.
Just a short walk from the South Point Bowling Plaza, home of the 2022 USBC Open Championships, bowlers will be able to sharpen their skills and get comfortable on this year's oil patterns by signing up for a team practice session or bowling in the Bowlers Journal Championships.
They will take place at the South Point Bowling Center from March 11-July 17. They also were held there in 2017 and 2019.
This will mark the 75th edition of the Bowlers Journal Championships, which includes singles and doubles competition for bowlers of all ages and skill levels, along with a trio of fun jackpots for a shot at some additional prize money.
Registration for both options is open, so bowlers and captains can begin reserving practice times and squad times for the Bowlers Journal Championships through the online portal at BOWL.com/OpenChamp.
There will be eight squad times in 2022, including a new late-night option for those who are too excited to sleep. Squads will be held at 7 a.m., 9:30 a.m., noon, 2:30 p.m., 5 p.m., 7:30 p.m., 10 p.m. and 12:30 a.m.
Please note, there may be days where not every squad is offered, so calling ahead or registering in advance is recommended.
The availability can be seen in real-time, but lane availability for each time slot is limited, so be sure to register early. Walk-in signups will be accepted for both, based on availability.
Team practice sessions for the 2022 event, which will feature the same oil pattern being used for team competition at the Open Championships, will cost $100 for an hour on a pair of freshly oiled lanes (up to 10 people).
The Bowlers Journal Championships again will feature the same oil pattern being used for doubles and singles at the Open Championships. Fresh oil will be used for every squad.
Additionally, as has become tradition, bowlers will receive a complimentary one-year subscription to Bowlers Journal International, the premier publication for bowling news, with their first singles entry.
The 2022 Open Championships will run from March 12-July 18, and all competition (team, doubles and singles) will be held at the South Point Bowling Plaza.
