Dear Bowler,
If you are attending a bowling tournament in Reno this year this will be the most important letter that you ever read.
Here is why:
The best entertainment in Reno is not in any casino.
It is a 5 minute walk from the National Bowling Stadium.
You see, right up the street is a beautiful theater called the Pioneer Underground where every Friday and Saturday night at 8pm they feature a show that bowlers will love.
It is called, "Chris Cady's, Get Hypnotized" And with your USBC membership or tournament card you can get tickets at an amazing discounted rate of 2 for 1.
Here is a brief description of the show.
Magic, mystery, comedy and the power of the mind are all
combined to bring you an amazing entertainment experience that's
fun and appropriate for all ages !
"Get Hypnotized" is an all-ages comedy hypnosis show that features volunteers from the audience. This amazing new show is a non-stop rollercoaster ride of laughs, as Master Hypnotist Chris Cady takes you on a mind-blowing tour of "fast-trance hypnosis." He combines comedy, drama, and the power of the mind to create a complete theatrical experience where audience volunteers are the stars of the show. (Don't worry, he won't make you flap your arms and squawk like a chicken…)
Imagine... the lights go down, the hypnotist appears and volunteers fill the stage. You'll witness a real hypnotic induction, and then the fun begins…
Here are a few of the many different things you will experience during this uproariously funny show that includes props, music and hilarious HYPNOSIS:
You'll be mystified as regular everyday people from the audience are transformed into dynamic performers like Elvis or Britney, all with just a simple word or snap of the fingers…
You'll be amazed as men go into labor and give birth!
Someone becomes a famous "Bowling king Pin"
You'll laugh hysterically as they become cheerleaders or swap brains with Albert Einstein and The Governator … instantly forget their names, dance like ballerinas … travel to Mars and speak Martian … and many more outrageous antics
This show is perfect for audiences of all ages, and the content is clean enough to bring your entire family or your company Approximate show length 60 minutes!
We are located in the Pioneer Underground which is underneath The Pioneer Center For The Performing Arts at 100 S. Virginia St, Reno Nevada. (between State and Mill Street) just a 5 minute walk from the National Bowling Stadium and all downtown Reno hotels.
We are across from an old courthouse, the post office and directly behind us is a hotel casino called The Siena.
There is metered parking on the street located all around the building which is free after 6pm and all day on Sundays. When you walk across the front plaza of the Pioneer Center look for a black awning with a yellow banner on it that says "Get Hypnotized" there will be stairs that go down.
If you are unfamiliar with Reno we are about 100 yards from the Siena Hotel and just 5 minutes drive from all downtown casinos or a 5 - 10 minute walk up the street from Harrahs, The National Bowling Stadium, Eldorado, Silver Legacy, Circus Circus, or The Sands.
If you are staying at the Atlantis, Peppermill, The Grand Sierra Resort (formerly the Reno Hilton) or John Ascuaga's Nugget in Sparks . You are only a 5-10 minute drive to us.
Again we are right across the street from the back side of the Siena Hotel Casino and very close to the ice rink and a 5 minute walk from the National Bowling Stadium.
Tickets may be purchased at the door or by phone or call 775-324-7474

2009 Women’s Championships FAQ questions
1. What is the USBC Women’s Championships?
The USBC Women’s Championships (formerly the Women’s International Bowling Congress Championship Tournament) has long been the world’s largest participatory sporting event for women. The event generally runs between 80 and 100 days to accommodate 40,000 to 60,000 competitors annually.
Bowlers of all ages and skill levels are seeded into one of five divisions: Classic for bowlers with averages of 190 and above; Division 1 for averages of 170-189; Division 2 for averages of 150-169; Division 3 for averages of 131-149 and Division 4 for averages of 130 and below. The bowlers compete in team, doubles, singles and an optional all-events competition with a total prize fund ranging from $1.5 million to $3 million.
The Women’s Championships is held in cities across the nation with a stop at the National Bowling Stadium in Reno, Nev., every third year. In years that the Women’s Championships is not held in Reno, it is conducted in traditional bowling centers. Beginning in 2010, the event will be held in an arena setting similar to the Open Championships.
The Women’s Championships also consists of two additional prestigious tournaments, the USBC Queens and USBC Senior Queens. These events showcase the best women bowlers in the world in an exciting double-elimination match play competition, while the Women’s Championships provides an opportunity for women bowlers of all levels to compete in a unique stadium setting.
2. Why should I enter the Women’s Championships?
As one of the most prestigious events in the sport, which was established in 1916, the USBC Women’s Championships is the national championships for grassroots women USBC members. It is an opportunity for every USBC woman member to compete for a national title while also being able to cash in on a significant prize fund.
Since the event is held in different cities each year, it also provides women members with an opportunity to see the country. Most entrants combine their competition experience in the event by also taking in all the attractions that all host cities have to offer. For the thousands of loyal Women’s Championships participants, the event is the highlight of the bowling season.
3. How much does it cost to enter the Women’s Championships?
When you think about it, the cost to enter one of the world’s largest and most prestigious bowling tournaments is really quite inexpensive.
The entry fee is $30 per event (Team, Doubles, & Singles) $10 optional all events or $100 total per player.
4. How do I verify my average?
There are three ways to verify your average:
Because the USBC Women’s Championships has average divisions to accommodate bowlers of all abilities, it is necessary to verify the averages of all entrants. There are three ways this can be done:
*The easiest way to verify your average is to use the Find a Member search on bowl.com. ( ) You can search by name or member ID and once you locate your record, you can pull up your averages from past seasons. Print out the page that lists your 2007-08 average and either send it with your entry or bring it with you to Reno.
*If you are unable to print out your record from bowl.com, you can also bring a copy of your local association yearbook that lists your highest average.
*Have your local association manager verify it for you. If you do not know already, you can ask your league secretary how to get in touch with your association manager.
5. I know that the Women’s Championships has a team event, but if I want to bowl doubles and singles, how does the scheduling process work?
First, doubles and singles are scheduled after the entire entry is paid for. After a team submits their entry with fees then doubles and singles is scheduled the next day.
So typically you will bowl your team event at Super Bowl on one day and then return the next day to bowl doubles and singles.
6. If I need to use a substitute bowler, who receives prize money, the original bowler or the sub?
The sub will receive any prize money that is owed to her.
7. What exactly is All-Events?
Each event (team, doubles & singles) consists of three games. All-Events is a combination of all nine games bowled. There is a separate prize fund for all-events and that is why it is optional.
8. If I substitute for a bowler on the team, do I have to pay the entry fee?
That is determined between the captain and the substitute bowler.
9. I’ve heard of these things called brackets and side events. What are those exactly?
These are essentially mini-tournaments within the tournament. The scores you bowl in regular competition can be applied to these side events. In a nutshell, brackets are similar to a miniature version of an NCAA finals championship bracket in which you try to advance against bowlers chosen randomly from your squad. It’s your score in each game of the event against whoever your random opponent is. There is prize money for those who win two or three matches. In addition to brackets, there is also other side pot “action” to enhance your tournament experience.
Tournament operations questions for those already entered in the Women’s Championships.
10. Why is it so important for companion teams to have their paperwork returned together?
Many teams travel to the Women’s Championships together. That way they get scheduled on the same squads and double and singles scheduled together as well.
11. Can I bowl in only one of the events?
You can bowl team without bowling doubles and singles or vice-verse, however if you sign up for doubles then you have to also bowl singles.
12. How soon do I need to arrive before my team squad?
We recommend two hours in case of changes that need to be made for team. For doubles and singles we recommend one hour if there are no changes or need for a sub.
13. What is the dress code?
Generally, we find that those who take personal pride in their appearance in many cases bowl better. To reward those teams who compete with matching uniforms, the Women’s Championships offers a Pride Award.
Generally speaking, however, entrants are expected to wear suitable attire. Use good judgment when selecting attire. Shorts, skorts, and skirts are permitted.
Note: Length of the shorts, skorts, or skirts must be below the fingertips with arms rested on the side- NO EXCEPTIONS.
Examples of PROHIBITED attire include but are not limited to:
Hats (medical reasons only)
Tank tops, halter tops, bare midriffs, spaghetti strap tops, etc.
Workout attire, short shorts, short skirts, bib overalls, jeans that are not neat, clean or in good condition (no torn jeans).
Bowlers will be required to change if attire is deemed inappropriate by tournament management or designee.
Decision of tournament management or designee is final.
14. Why do you collect Social Security Number?
Since you have the opportunity to win prize money, the social security number is needed for tax purposes.
15. What do I do if I do not want to provide my teammates with my SSN?
The social security number is required before you begin competition.
16. Traveling with my bowling equipment can be a pain, especially when flying. How do you ship bowling balls? Will the hotels accept them? Where do you ship them to?
Through a service provided called Bowling Ball Express (BBE). You can ship them to the hotel if they accept them however, they may not be responsible for them. You will ship them to the bowling center usually 7 to 10 days before you bowl, to make sure they arrive on time. More information on the Bowling Ball Express service and how to use it can be found on usbcwomenschampionships.com.
17. Am I able to practice before competition?
USBC allows 10 minutes of practice time before team competition and 6 minutes prior to doubles and singles. The squad time indicated on your confirmation indicates the time at which scoring or official competition starts. This means bowlers should have registered, gotten their photo taken, entered brackets and side events, have their shoes on and in general be ready to bowl at least 10 minutes prior to the squad time.
