OPEN Championship

The USBC Board has rescinded the changes made to USBC rules in 2019-2020 which were instituted in response to the COVID pandemic. Effective Aug. 1, 2022, the following rule changes will be in effect:
* Rule   18 – Bowlers will no longer be allowed to use isopropyl alcohol to clean a bowling ball once the competition has started.
* Rules   113a and 113b – The use of two lanes immediately adjoining each other will again be required to be used for league competition.
* Rules   320a and 320b - The use of two lanes immediately adjoining each other will again be required to be used for tournament competition.

Arizona State USBC WILL ALLOW the 6 Storm/Roto Grip/Global 900 Bowling Balls for tournament play. This includes the Storm Phaze 4, Storm Electrify Solid, Storm Trend 2, 900 Global Altered Reality, 900 Global Wolverine and Roto Grip UFO Alert. The Arizona State USBC Open Championships and the Arizona State Women's Open Championships will continue to allow these balls in tournament play. The Purple Hammer with 6 and 7 serial numbers and the Storm Spectre are still not allowed at any playing level. Thank you and we look forward to seeing everyone on the lanes
