PBA XTRA FRAME BILLY HARDWICK
MEMORIAL TO GO OLD SCHOOL
The upcoming PBA Xtra Frame Billy Hardwick Memorial, scheduled
for June 23-25 at the Memphis, Tenn., bowling center formerly owned by
the late PBA Hall of Famer, will honor Hardwick in more than name
only. It will be contested using the kind of limited-technology bowling
balls the 18-time PBA Tour champion used when he became the PBAs
first triple crown winner back in the late 1960s.
The Hardwick Memorial, which will be live-streamed exclusively on
PBAs Xtra Frame online bowling channel, will be open to a field of 80
bowlers. All players must use approved polyester bowling balls manufac-
tured by a PBA Product Registered company. A list of approved bowling
balls can be found on pba.com
(https://www.pba.com/Tournaments/Details/2331) and includes the PBA
Skill Ball 2.0 which is used in Teen Masters competition.
The tournament will offer a $10,000 first prize and a PBA Tour title, if
the winner is a PBA member. The event will not be part of the PBA Xtra
Frame Storm Cup series because of its equipment limitations.
Competition will include eight qualifying games for all players on
Saturday, June 24, with the top one-third advancing to a four-game cash-
ers round on Sunday. After 12 games, the top 16 will enter into three-
game single elimination match play leading up to one-game semifinal
and championship matches.

2017 schedule, will feature:
24 qualifying games, including eight-game rounds on fresh, burn
and double-burn lane conditions;
A limited field of 144 bowlers, including PBA earnings leaders and
others who will be invited based on 2016 performances in international,
collegiate and Junior Gold events, among others. For the list of invited
players, click here: http://usbcongress.http.internapcdn.net/usb-
congress/bowl/tournaments/pdfs/usopen/2017/2017USOpenInvitees.pdf

Flamingo Bowl prior to the event;
Invited players will have until June 1 to accept invitations, after
which invitations will be extended to the next player on the eligibility
list. Any vacancies will be added to the pre-event qualifier;
