Our bowlers will compete in the Women's Open Division in the Singles, Doubles and Team of Four format consisting of 6 games each. The top 16 players from each division will advance to the Masters Final where they will compete in 4 rounds based on head to head matches, with the highest rank player in each round meeting the lower rank player, second highest player meeting the second lower player and so on. Each match will be played in the best of 3 games (when 2 games are won, the match is over).

Eighteen member cities which include Chinese Taipei, Saipan, Malaysia and Korea will be competing in this year's championship which will provide our youth bowlers a challenging ground to compete amongst other bowlers.

Let's wish our bowlers all the best and high scores!
