High demand leads to extra week of competition at 2024 Open Championships

ARLINGTON, Texas – The 2024 United States Bowling Congress Open Championships will be extended by a week and now conclude July 22 for the 120th edition of the event.

More than 8,000 teams already are registered for the 2024 tournament, and the current demand to get teams together has the 2024 event trending ahead of the 2023 pace to register during the same time frame by more than 34%.
