BowlTV Regional Players Invitational

2025 BowlTV PBA RPI Official Rules

 

The 2025 BowlTV Regional Players Invitational will include points from PBA Regional Events from 11/14/24 to 11/13/25. 

 

1. To qualify for the 2025 BowlTV RPI Finals, you must be a Full PBA Member. 

2. PBA Hall of Famers (based on Superior Performance), PBA Tour players who have four or more PBA National Tour titles and players who earned $40,000  or more from current PBA season (through the PBA Playoffs ending May 24th ) are ineligible.

3. The top 10 players on the PBA50 Tour Points list at the end of the 2025 season will NOT be eligible to qualify for the RPI in the PBA50 division. If a player is in the top 10 in points on the PBA50 Tour but does not fall into the criteria above regarding the PBA Tour, they would be eligible to qualify for the regular division RPI. 

4. You must bowl a minimum of three (3) regionals (PBA or PBA50) in the region in which you qualify. If you only have two (2) events and qualify in the region’s “RPI Qualifying event”, the spot will not be awarded unless you bowl in one more event that season. 

5. A member must have all dues paid up in full to be eligible to qualify for the 2025 BowlTV PBA Regional Players Invitational. 

6. Region Delegation: 

• If any bowler (PBA or PBA50) qualifies in a “RPI Qualifying event” in a region, that spot trumps the spot from the points list in any region. 

• If a bowler qualifies off the point list in two regions, they must take the spot from the region they are highest in points. (Example: If a player is 3rd in points in a region and 6th in another, they will take the spot from the region they are 3rd in points.) 

 

7. A Regular Division bowler who finishes in the top in points in their region will qualify for three free nights at the Silver Legacy Hotel and Casino during the BowlTV PBA Regional Players Invitational. The top PBA50 player in each region will also earn three free nights at the Silver Legacy Hotel and Casino during the BowlTV PBA Regional Players Invitational.  

8. If a player who qualifies via the points list does not accept their invitation, the berth will be given to the next player on the points list. Any players who ranked 15th or below in the PBA division and eighth or below in the PBA50 division who are invited to the RPI must pay a $200 entry fee.
