State run USBC events CANCELLED due to COVID-19 safety concerns.

Click here to read how COVID-19 has affected IAUSBC events.

Due to the Coronavirus (Covid19), and in the best interest of our bowlers and the staff assisting with the tournaments, all Iowa State USBC state tournaments were suspended until April 17th.

On Tuesday, March 17, following the direction of state and government officials regarding Covid19, the Board of Directors of the Iowa State USBC made the difficult decision to cancel the Open Championship Tournament (Mt. Pleasant and Burlington, the Women’s State Championship Tournament (Muscatine) and the Youth State Tournament (Des Moines).
While this was a very difficult decision, there remains much unknown in the coming weeks regarding the health and welfare of our nation.

Refund checks will be issued for all entries which had not yet bowled in the tournaments. The Open and the Women’s events prize fund will be paid out using the number of actual participants.

Refunds will be issued for the entries in the Youth State Tournament.

The Annual Meeting and Hall of Fame inductions and dinner will be re-scheduled to a date and location to be determined later.

We look forward to a brighter season in 2020-2021. We look forward to serving you and seeing you all at the tournament then
