NEW MEXICO OPEN - STATE'S BIGGEST AND RICHEST BOWLING TOURNEY
Worth $30,000 this
year Rio Rancho, New Mexico!
The 7th New Mexico Open, presented by the New Mexico Sports
Authority, to be held at Tenpins & More in Rio Rancho August
18-22, will be the
state's biggest and richest bowling tournament with cash prizes and awards totaling
more than $30,000.
"Our sponsors have continued to support us well, in spite
of the economy, and we're gearing up for 120 bowlers again, same as last year",
said tournament director, Steve Mackie.
The tournament features a traditional format consisting of two
rounds of qualifying, a matchplay round over 12 games and a five-person step-ladder
final. The eventual winner could bowl as many as 29 games in two days.
The main event
is preceded by a Storm bowling ball event, sweepers, a practice session and Pro-Am
squads the two days prior and a new Consolation tournament for non-cashers on the
final day. It will also feature brackets at each squad that have paid out more than
$5,000 each of the last two years.

Central New Mexico USBC Bowling Association site for local and
