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. Tournaments can vary in format, including single-elimination, round-robin, or team-based competitions. These events often attract bowlers of all skill levels, from amateurs to professionals. Prizes may be awarded to top performers, and tournaments can be held at local bowling alleys or larger venues. Popular organizations, such as the Professional Bowlers Association (PBA), often host these tournaments, promoting the sport and providing opportunities for players to showcase their talents.
