LAS VEGAS - The United States Bowling Congress announced Thursday that a new squad schedule will be put into place for the next three editions of the USBC Open Championships, beginning in 2022.
The change was a result of tracking start and finish times during the 2021 USBC Open Championships, along with bowler feedback during a variety of daily schedules in recent years. The adjustments are being made with on-time squads and bowler experience as the top areas of focus.
The new schedule will eliminate the late-night doubles and singles squad and end each day with a combination squad that will use half the facility for team competition and half for doubles and singles.

Helen DiCarlo will celebrate her 98th birthday on Friday. She fondly remembers a different era in her favorite sport, but despite the many changes in the game over her last seven decades as a participant, she enjoys every minute of her weekly trip to the lanes.
DiCarlo and her daughter-in-law, Patricia, currently roll in the Thursday Morning Senior Mixed league, a spring/summer program at Sportsman’s Bowl. Every time Helen gets up to bowl, she gets a little help from “Patti” to line her up on the approach. Then, she focuses hard on her mark and delivers her shot with surprising dexterity from someone her age. Patti often lets Helen know which pins are left on the deck, since Helen’s eyesight isn’t that great any more, and after she gets lined up again, she concentrates on making the spare.

ARLINGTON, Texas - The United States Bowling Congress will continue enforcing published COVID-19 protocols at the 2021 USBC Women s Championships and Open Championships, both being held in Nevada.
USBC is aware of evolving guidelines on mask requirements from the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention and state and local regulators.
The championship tournaments have been underway for weeks, and participants registered with an expectation of consistent enforcement of published protocols for the duration of each event.
Adjusting mask requirements for vaccinated persons mid-event would create a different playing-field standard for competitors, including those who already have bowled for score.
