ARLINGTON, Texas - The United States Bowling
Congress Open Championships is the can't-miss event
for tens of thousands of bowlers each year, and there's
still time to be a part of the historic 2011 tournament.
The entry deadline has been extended to Jan. 15, so
teams not yet entered still have a chance to join the
60,000 bowlers who already have their sights set on a
share of the $5 million prize fund.
The upcoming event will begin its 122-day run March
4 and is scheduled to conclude July 3. Bowlers from all
50 states and several foreign countries will converge on
the one-of-a-kind, 78-lane National Bowling Stadium in
Reno, Nev., which has been the site of many memorable
tournament moments.
The 2011 event marks the tournament's record 10th tripto Reno and seventh visit to the National Bowling
Stadium. It also will be the first time an event has been
held in the same city in back-to-back years. The 2010
tournament drew 14,189 teams to "The Biggest Little
City in the World."
For bowlers looking for extra opportunities to cash in
on the championship lanes, there's always a variety of
side events and jackpots available on-site, including tra-
ditional brackets, strike jackpots and side pots.
A few enhancements to the brackets menu in 2011
include the availability of $5 brackets and Classified
Cash-O-Matic brackets during doubles and singles,
while three new products give more bowlers a chance to
win:
Off-the-Sheet Jackpot Bowlers who go "off the sheet"
and finish a game with at least five strikes (frames eight-
12) will split the accumulated jackpot at the end of the
tournament. For $20, you will have nine opportunities to
cash in on this exciting new product.
Senior Side Event This is just for senior bowlers, age50 and older (on day of competition). For a $25 entry fee
paid at the brackets window, bowlers will be entered into
two special senior-only prize funds (singles and all-
events). Both categories will feature a 1:4.5 cash ratio.
Singles and all-events totals from the main tournament
will be used for this product.
Ultimate Mulligan Designed for super seniors (bowlers
age 60 and older the day they compete), the Ultimate
Mulligan requires entrants to compile their three highest
games of the 2011 tournament to arrive at their Ultimate
Mulligan series score. Then, they will see how their
three-game set holds up for the duration of the tourna-
ment. The Ultimate Mulligan features a prize-fund-style
payout with a cash ratio of 1:4.5. The entry fee is $20.
There are still prime spots available for 2011. For more
information, visit BOWL.com/openchamp or call the
tournament entries department at 800-514-2695.There also are plenty of spots available for bowlers
interested in competing in the 2011 USBC Women's
Championships in Syracuse, N.Y. More than 6,000teams are expected to compete in the event, which
begins April 7 and runs until July 3. The deadline for
the Women's Championships is Jan. 15, 2011. For
more information and available times, visit

Lil Wayne, Nelly, Reggie BushJoin Chris Paul PBA Celebrity
Invitational FieldHip-hop, NFL, NBA stars team up with
PBA champions for Super Bowl Sunday telecast
By Bill Vint |PBA Media Relations
NEW ORLEANS, La. Celebrity A-listers competed on the lanes with
professional bowlers for charity last week. Hip-hop giants Lil Wayne and
Nelly, along with New Orleans Saints running back Reggie Bush joined
five PBA champions and host Chris Paul of the New Orleans Hornets for
the third annual Chris Paul PBA Celebrity Invitational at Riverboat Lanes
on the New Orleans Naval Air Station Joint Reserve Base.The pro/celebrity doubles event, which supports Pauls charitable CP3
Foundation, will air on ESPN on Super Bowl Sunday, Feb. 6 at 4 p.m. ET,
for the third straight year as part of the PBAs TV schedule.
PBA Tour stars participating were PBA Hall of Famers Pete Weber and
Norm Duke, former PBA Rookies of the Year Jason Belmonte and Rhino
Page, and former PBA Player of the Year Wes Malott.
The standing-room-only crowd consisted of personnel from all four
branches of the military and their families from the Naval Air Station
Joint Reserve Base.
The Chris Paul PBA Celebrity Invitational has grown to be one of our
most anticipated events every year, said PBA Deputy Commissioner
Tom Clark. Chris and his superstar friends love bowling with our stars
and the PBA is proud to partner with the Paul family on behalf of the CP3
Foundation, which continues to brighten kids lives.
In the doubles competition, Weber paired with fellow St. Louis native
Nelly, Duke teamed up with Lil Wayne, and Malott and Bush were an
imposing pairing. Belmonte and Paul partnered in an effort to defendtheir title. The teams competed in a stepladder finals for the unique Chris
Paul PBA Celebrity Invitational trophy. Page took on the four celebrities
in a new Super Clash shootout to kick off the festivities.
NBA superstar LeBron James and the PBAs Jason Couch teamed up to
win the inaugural Chris Paul PBA Celebrity Invitational in 2008. Other
celebrities who have competed in the events history include Dwyane
Wade, Kevin Durant, Ludacris, Lamar Woodley, Jack Del Rio and Hines
Ward.
Paul founded his CP3 Foundation in 2005 as a tribute to his late grand-
father and the Winston-Salem, N.C., community where he grew up and
starred at Wake Forest. The foundation has provided funding for activities
ranging from a scholarship program to food drives to recreational support
programs for underprivileged children in both Winston-Salem and New
Orleans.
Paul, an avid bowler who frequently refers to bowling as his second-
favorite sport, is on his way to another NBA All-Star season. Both Lil
Wayne and Nelly are Grammy-award winning artists with new recordings
currently at the top of the Billboard charts. Former USC star Bush helped
the Saints win their first Super Bowl title earlier in 2010.
What better way to get ready for the big game on Super Bowl Sunday
than watch this spectacular PBA event earlier in the day on ESPN? Clark
said. Not only are the bowlers and celebrities great personalities, they
share a love of the sport of bowling and competition at the highest level.

Campus in Arlington, Texas,
where they will train with Team
USA coaches at the International
Training and Research Center
and then take on six members ofTeam USA in a special competi-
tion broadcast live on
BOWL.com.
"This is the ultimate opportuni-
ty for our Sport Bowling mem-
bers to learn from the sport's best
coaches and get to meet members
of Team USA," USBC Managing
Director of Marketing and
Membership Kevin Terry said.
"This program also provides
even more value to Sport
Bowling membership."

selected on the first day of each
month beginning Feb. 1. Starting

edge coaching technologies
available in the bowling industry
today, including high-speed
video cameras, motion-capture
devices, foot-pressure sensors
and goggles enhanced with cam-
eras to show exactly where a
player is looking during the
approach and delivery. A DVRsystem also is in place and can
record any video feed to let a
bowler see what they did on their
last shot as soon as they step off
the lane.
Other technology includes
Computer-Aided Tracking
System, known as C.A.T.S.
which consists of a series of sen-
sors placed along the lane that
measure aspects of a bowler's
game such as ball speed, accura-
cy, launch angle, and break-point
control. CA.T.S. is combined
with BowlersMAP, which breaks
down video of the players, to
give the athletes a real-time lookat their games.
A United States Olympic
Committee-recognized training
center, the ITRC is a joint ven-
ture of USBC and the Bowling
Proprietors' Association of
America. It is the most innova-
tive and advanced training,
research and testing facility in
the sport of bowling with 14
lanes for training and six for
research and testing.

most human item to start his stories.
I want to hook the reader,

imize the lingo and stats, he said.

Bowling For Soup To Perform atPBA Tournament of Champions
Grammy-nominated American rock/punk band Bowling For Soup will
perform its newest song Saturday Night during the ESPN on ABC
telecast of the $1 million Professional Bowlers Association Tournament
of Champions finals Saturday, Jan. 22 at Red Rock Lanes in Las Vegas.
Bowling For Soup will release its 11th studio album on the Razor &
Tie labelFishin For Woos on May 3.
BFS lead singer Jaret Riddick attended the 2010 PBA Tournament of
Champions, witnessing the historic victory by Kelly Kulick from the
front row.
As you can imagine, weve done our share of bowling alley appear-
ances, said Reddick. None have been as exciting for me as attending
last years Tournament of Champions as a fan. It was amazing to watch
history being made when Chris (Barnes) took on Kelly Kulick in the
championship match and to witness the first woman ever winning a
major PBA event.
When the PBA invited us to perform this year, we jumped at the chance
and are genuinely excited to participate in this major sports event.
