Dates added to start of 2023 USBC Open Championships

ARLINGTON, Texas - For the second time in as many months, dates will be added to the 2023 United States Bowling Congress Open Championships in Reno, Nevada.

The tournament staff, in cooperation with the National Bowling Stadium, has opened spots for an additional week in March. The 2023 event now will start March 4 and conclude July 24.

The original dates for the 2023 USBC Open Championships were March 11-July 17, before the tournament staff extended the event last month to July 24. The 2023 tournament now will run for 143 consecutive days and can accommodate nearly 10,700 teams.

The opening ceremony for the 2023 Open Championships still will take place March 11.

Registration is open, and teams can sign up and find more information at BOWL.com/OpenChamp.

Team competition will be scheduled daily at 2 p.m. and 9:30 p.m., while doubles and singles squads will take place at 7 a.m., 10:30 a.m., 6 p.m. and 9:30 p.m.

The 9:30 p.m. squad will be a combination squad featuring 30 lanes for team and 30 lanes for doubles and singles.

The National Bowling Stadium has had several renovations since the tournament's last visit to Reno in 2016, including an expanded settee area and redesign of the concourse on the fourth floor. The stadium seating has been removed, and the latest addition prior to the start of the 2023 event will be new scoreboards for the 78 lanes used for the Open Championships and Bowlers Journal Championships.
