Competitive Senior Event
Schedule Continues To Grow
ARLINGTON, Texas - The International Bowling Campus is
creating a new event aimed at giving senior bowlers age 60 and
older even more competitive opportunities.
The ITRC Super Senior Classic will take place Oct. 30-Nov. 1,
immediately following the 2013 USBC Senior Queens, at the
International Training and Research Center in Arlington, Texas,
the home of Team USA.
"There is a growing base of Super Senior bowlers that have
been asking for competitive events, and we are pleased to pro-
vide this new opportunity," USBC Managing Director of Member-
ship and Events Pete Tredwell said. "The ITRC was a tremen-
dous host to the Senior Queens this year, so it's the perfect
venue for this new tournament."
In order to be eligible for the ITRC Super Senior Classic, en-
trants must be at least 60 years of age by Oct. 30, 2013, and
they must have competed in either the 2013 USBC Senior Mas-
ters or Senior Queens.
The event will feature two days of qualifying followed by a third
day with a cashers round and stepladder finals. All three days will
be broadcast live on BowlTV. The field will be limited to the first
56 entries and is expected to sell out.
In addition to this new competitive opportunity, bowlers will be
offered the chance to participate in exclusive clinics with the
Team USA coaching staff, available only to those entering the
event.
More information on the ITRC Super Senior Classic is avail-
able at BOWL.com/SuperSenior.
Senior Masters Registration Open
Early registration for the 2013 USBC Senior Masters is now
available at BOWL.com/Senior Masters. The event will take place
June 9-14 at the South Point Bowling Center in Las Vegas.
Competitors can enter for a discounted entry fee of $400 prior
to April 1. The entry fee will increase to $450 after April 1 and to
$500 for on-site entries.
For the first time, the Senior Masters will feature a five-player
stepladder final in 2013. The entire event will be broadcast live on
BowlTV.
Senior Queens Returning To ITRC
The USBC Senior Queens will return to the International Train-
ing and Research Center in 2013 after the event was success-
fully conducted at the ITRC in October. The 2013 event will take
place Oct. 24-29.
Bowlers will enjoy many of the same great features next year
with some new additions, including a free classroom clinic and a
free 2014 win-a-spot sweeper for those who don't qualify for
match play.
