History of the PWBA The PWBA was formed in 1960 by a group of professional women bowlers. After the organization struggled, some of the players left the PWBA in 1974 to form the Ladies' Professional Bowlers Association (LPBA). The two merged again in 1978, forming the Women's Professional Bowlers Association (WPBA). When the WPBA dissolved in 1981, bowling center proprietor John Summer of Rockford, Illinois, started the Ladies Pro Bowlers Tour (LPBT), a private company, to continue the women's tour. The LPBT adopted the PWBA name and a new logo in 1998. In the fall of 2003, the PWBA Tour ceased operations before the completion of its 2003 season, primarily due to dwindling interest in sponsoring women's bowling. The Women's International Bowling Congress (WIBC) then acquired the rights and assets of the PWBA. This gave the WIBC control of the PWBA name, trademark, logo, website domain (pwba.com), as well as the PWBA's historical records. The United States Bowling Congress (USBC) acquired the PWBA when the WIBC merged with the American Bowling Congress (ABC), Young American Bowling Alliance (YABA) and USA Bowling in 2005. Without a PWBA Tour, women either retired from professional bowling, competed in the remaining women-only tournaments in the United States, or moved on to other bowling tournaments outside of the United States. Some women chose to bowl in professional men's tournaments. The Professional Bowlers Association (PBA) opened its membership to women in April 2004. Missy Parkin was the first female PBA member and now holds three PBA Regional Titles. Liz Johnson was the first woman to win a PBA Regional Tournament and the first to advance to two different televised PBA Tour finals. Kelly Kulick is the only woman to have won both a national and a major PBA tournament, with her defeat of Chris Barnes to win the 2010 Tournament of Champions. The USBC sponsored the PBA Women's Series starting with the 2007-2008 season, allowing women PBA members to compete in a small number of events without their male counterparts. It was not continued after the 2009-2010 season. 2015 PWBA Re-Birth The PWBA Tour returned from a 12-year hiatus in 2015, thanks to a three-year funding commitment from the USBC and BPAA. The tour will consist of ten stops (seven standard tournaments and three majors), running from May 13 to September 13. Major tour stops include the following:  USBC Queens, May 13-19, Green Bay, WI – Liz Johnson, Champion  Bowlmor AMF U.S. Women's Open, Aug. 31-Sept. 6, North Brunswick, NJ  PWBA Tour Championship, Sept. 10-13, ITRC, Arlington, TX Standard stops have a guaranteed prize fund of $60,000 ($10,000 first prize), and will be broadcast live on Xtra Frame (the PBA’s Live Stream channel). 2015 PWBA Standard Tournament Schedule:  July 16-18, PWBA Lubbock Sports Open, South Plains Lanes - Lubbock, TX  July 23-25, PWBA Wichita Open, Northrock Lanes - Wichita, KS  July 31-August 2, PBA/PWBA Striking Against Breast Cancer, Palace Lanes - Houston, TX  August 6-8, PWBA Topeka Open | Prairie Band Casino & Resort, West Ridge Lanes - Topeka, KS  August 13-15, PWBA Lincoln Open, Sun Valley Lanes - Lincoln, NE  August 20-23, PWBA Minnesota Open, Island Xtreme Bowl - Welch, MN  August 27-30, PWBA Detroit Open, Super Bowl - Canton, MI

Additionally, a new partnership with the Professional Bowlers Association (PBA) provides:  Seven PWBA (women-only) Regional tournaments conducted by the PBA’s respective regional managers, each with a $10,000 prize fund based on a minimum of 40 entries.  Player services transportation and mobile pro shop for the PWBA Tour stops.  Live coverage of the PWBA Tour stops through Xtra Frame, the PBA’s online video streaming service.  Eligibility for PWBA members to bowl in all PBA events.  An expanded points program for women bowling in PBA Regionals, culminating in the ESPN-televised PWBA Regional Challenge at the PBA World Series of Bowling VII.

Sacramento is the capital of the State of California. It wasn’t always that way, though. The previous capi- tols were – Monterey (1849), Pueblo de San Jose (1849-1851), Vallejo (1852), Sacramento (1852-1853), Val- Welcome to lejo (1853), and Benicia (1853-1854). Sacramento has remained the capitol since February 1854.

Sacramento! Sacramento has many nicknames. It is variously known as “the Camellia Capital of the World,” “River City,” and “City of Trees. Locals tend to call it Sac or Sactown. My favorite nickname has always been “The Big Tomato.” Fun Facts: Sacramento is where the Sacramento River and the American River meet. Where two rivers meet is called a “convergence.” In this case, the convergence happens at Discovery Park.

Sacramento is part of Sacramento County, but West Sacramento is part of Yolo County.

The Sacramento Zoo has been around since 1927. These days the zoo even has a blog.

The official hottest temperature on record for Sacramento is 115. The record was set back in June of 1961. The coldest temperature on record for Sacramento is 18, set in December of 1990. It snows in Sacramento about once every ten years.

California State Capitol Sacramento is home to six sports franchises: The Sacramento Kings (Basketball – NBA), Sacramento Monarchs (Basketball – WNBA), Sacramento Capitals (Tennis – WTT), The Rivercats (Baseball – Triple-A), California Storm (Soccer – WPSL), and The Sacramento Sirens (Football – IWFL). These teams break down like this: 2 Men’s (Basketball, Baseball), 3 Women’s (Basketball, Soccer, Football), 1 Mixed (Tennis). Edge: Women. :)

Old Sacramento (or Old Sac as the locals call it) is a bit like a museum all on its own. It houses the California State Railroad Museum (which actually has a running train for you to ride if you like) and seemingly endless shops.
