Winners of the singles and doubles competitions will get byes into the later rounds of the PBA World Qualifiers hosted at Woodstock Lawn Bowling Club, Ontario Saturday, September 2-Monday, September 4. Already signed up for the world qualifiers? Try and take the crown to get some good $$$ to fund your trip!

The best thing about PBA Canada? Completely open competitions - age, gender, years of experience - none of it matters! If you can stomach the high entry fee to potentially only play one set-style match, then these might be the tournaments for you!
