Bowling

To compete at the National Senior Games, you must qualify in Bowling. In order to do so, you must meet the following criteria at a State Senior Games the year before the National Senior Games:

• Place in the top four in your specific event (singles, doubles or mixed doubles) and age group. Doubles partners who qualify together are not required to play together at the National Senior Games. For men’s doubles, women’s doubles and mixed doubles, only one partner needs to qualify directly in the pairs event; the other just needs to qualify in any bowling event. For more information, please see the Doubles Partners rule.  

Team bowling: Any bowler who has already qualified in singles, doubles or mixed doubles is automatically eligible to join a four-person team; you do not need to qualify for the team event separately.

For all the details, check the full National Senior Games Rulebook.
