A WORLDWIDE COMPETITION IN BOWLING! Bowlers from around the world will compete in 6 different conferences to become the 2021 PBA Bowlero Global Rumble Winner.

In these troubling times when we have to avoid the spread of infection by not traveling or meeting in large gatherings, many planned bowling competitions have been canceled.
