A bowling tournament is a competitive event where individuals or teams compete to achieve the highest score in a series of bowling games. Participants take turns rolling a heavy ball down a lane to knock down ten pins arranged in a triangular formation. The tournament can be organized in various formats, including single-elimination, round-robin, or best-of-three matches. Tournaments can be held at local bowling alleys or larger venues, attracting players of all skill levels. Prizes may be awarded to the top performers, and tournaments often foster a sense of community among bowlers and fans alike.
