Hosted by the Uljin-gun Sports Council and organized by the Uljin-gun Bowling Association and the Korea Professional Bowling Association, this tournament is the first professional competition expanded from the previous amateur-centered events, with 420 professional players and 140 amateur players participating in fierce competition.

The amateur competition will be divided into four groups, and after four games, the top four men and top two women from each group will advance to the professional main event starting on March 5. The professional competition will determine semifinalists and finalists through individual and team matches. The exciting final matches of the professional players will be broadcast live nationwide on SBS Sports.

Compared to other sports, bowling allows players to compete with similar skills regardless of physical strength. The moment when the ball rolls and hits the pins far away, producing a clear sound as they fall, not only relieves stress but also provides pleasure, making it a sport loved by people of all ages as a popular recreational activity.

The county is actively promoting sports marketing to usher in a sports renaissance era by creating excellent sports infrastructure and hosting various national-level sports competitions.

County Governor Son Byeong-bok said, “I hope that the players will fully demonstrate their skills in the clean air created by the pristine East Sea and the blue Geumgang Pine forest, along with well-equipped sports infrastructure, and that this event will become a festival where amateurs and professionals unite.”
