Canton Super Bowl Hosts Women’s Professional Tournament

Aug. 20, 2015 - PRLog -- South Eastern Michigan Bowling Centers Association (SEMBCA (http://sembca.com/)) member Canton Super Bowl will host the nation’s top women bowlers Aug. 27-30 at the Detroit Open.

Players will compete for a top prize of $10,000 with finals starting at 6:30 p.m. on Saturday, Aug. 29. SEMBCA Acting Executive Director John Casbar said the competition among the Professional Women’s Bowling Association players will be intense, but added that the event is about more than who takes home the championship.

“The Detroit Open is an outstanding opportunity for fans and bowlers of all skill levels to interact with these professionals,” said Casbar. “The Pro-Am is a big part of the event over the first three days of the tournament and then we finish up with a youth clinic on Sunday.”

The Pro-Am squads will be held on Thursday, Aug. 27 at 7:00 PM; Friday, Aug. 28 at 8:00 PM; and Saturday, Aug. 29 at 8:30 PM. The cost is $35 for adults and $30 for the youth.  The Youth Clinic will be held from 10:00 AM to 1:00 PM on Sunday, Aug. 30 at a cost of $20 for ages 19 and under.

While the Detroit Open youth clinic has a limited sign-up, plenty of spots are still available for fall youth leagues, Casbar said. Sign-up for bowlers ages 4 to 20 will be held through the end of the month, but can vary from bowling center to bowling center. Casbar said parents should contact their nearest SEMBCA member center (http://sembca.com/) for exact registration information.

There’s still time to take part in a Park-It Family Fun Night, too. Sponsored in part by SEMBCA, families can enjoy a free evening that includes an outdoor concert, tons of kids’ activities, giveaways and a movie under the stars. Remaining fun nights are scheduled (http://www.parkitforfun.com/parkittour.html) through Sept. 2 in cities like Farmington Hills, Westland, Sterling Heights and Trenton.
