Priority Entries

Priority entries open Monday, Nov. 21 and will close Saturday, April 15 at 11 p.m. CT. Priority will be given in the following order:

  • Top 75 2022 PBA Tour Point Leaders
  • PBA Tour Title Holders

PTQ entries open Monday, Nov. 21. All PBA members who are not classified as priority entrants will need to enter the PTQ. A minimum of eight players will advance to the elite field, with a maximum number to be determined to fill the elite field of 128. Example: If 75 point leaders and 20 more PBA Tour champions not among the top 50 2022 PBA Tour point leaders enter as priority entrants, 33 would advance from the PTQ, which would fill the elite field at 128.

Phone and mailed entries will not be accepted. Anyone needing instructions on how to enter online can contact membership services at (206) 332-9688.

Any entries received after the final entry deadline will incur a late fee.
