The next event at Fiesta Bowl will be held Saturday, July 20 and is open to all bowlers 55 and older. It will be followed a week later on Saturday, July 27 by the annual Non-Winners event. That is open only to those bowlers who have competed in at least one event in the 2018-19 season and haven’t won an event since Sept 2009.
Both upcoming events will start at 11 a.m. and will use the normal format, including the 70-and-older rule. These will be the last two events for bowlers to qualify for the season championship. Currently, 43 bowlers have qualified for the event.
