Bowl for $15,000 – PABO Early Bird Registrations Close May 26
By Tenpin Bowling Australia
Tenpin Bowling Australia has partnered with PABO (Pro Am Bowling Open) to bring members an incredible opportunity – the chance to compete for $15,000, Australia’s largest individual bowling purse.
Open to both amateur and professional bowlers, PABO gives players the chance to qualify at any bowling centre in their state before the top talent converges on Melbourne for the Finals on August 1-2, 2026.
How it Works
Registration is open now during the early bird period. Once registered, bowlers will receive a unique PABO bowler ID and submit their best single game score at any centre in their state during the qualifying period (May 26-June 26). There’s no limit on attempts – keep bowling until you’re happy with your score.
The Top 32 scores in each state advance to a State Final at a host centre in their respective state. From there, the top 4 finishers earn a fully funded trip to Melbourne – flights and accommodation included, to compete at the PABO Finals at The Keys Leisure Center in Preston on August 1-2.
Early Bird Pricing – Closes May 26
Register before May 26 for the early bird price of $30. After May 26, the standard registration fee rises to $60.
