The United States Bowling Congress has announced the Masters, Senior Queens and Convention have been postponed, while the USBC Open and Women’s Championships will delay their starts until at least May 1.
The move comes amid the coronavirus crisis that has hit the nation and has canceled many sporting events across the country.
The USBC Masters, which is the final major of the PBA Tour season and was set to begin on March 24, will now take place at some point later in the year, USBC announced. The same is true for the USBC Senior Queens and USBC Convention.
No details were made available yet as to when those events will be rescheduled.
The USBC Open Championships, which was to get underway in a little more than a week at Reno’s National Bowling Stadium, are still scheduled to go on but with a delayed start of May 1. The same is true for the USBC Women’s Championships in Las Vegas.
USBC will allow teams registered to compete from March 21 through April 30 to reschedule with new added dates in the summer. USBC said they will be contacting team captains with additional information.
As for the Professional Women’s Bowling Association Tour, the USBC said an announcement of any changes would come no later than April 2
