Are there activities that would bring the bowlers and their families into your community a day earlier? The minimum number of lanes needed to be considered is 32. When there are two centers bidding together one of the centers must have AT LEAST 20 lanes. If two bids from the same City/Association/Center are received, they will be considered exactly that – 2 bids. We do not vote on the city, we vote on the center.
