The 2018 United States Bowling Congress Senior Championships concluded on Friday, August 3rd, 2018 at the National Bowling Stadium, recognizing 12 champions from 11 states including one from Schuylkill County.
The event took place in Reno, Nevada.
Nearly 400 bowlers from across the United States and Canada laced up at the 78-lane venue and competed in one of two divisions - Open and Women's - and six age classifications (50-54, 55-59, 60-64, 65-69, 70-74, 75 and above).
Competitors bowled a pair of three-game qualifying blocks over two days to determine the six players in each division advancing to Friday's medal round. The six qualifiers from each division were determined by total pinfall, including handicap.
Pinfall was dropped for the medal round, but bowlers were awarded bonus pins based on their qualifying position (50 bonus pins for first, 40 pins for second, etc.).
In the Open Division, Terry Lindner of Ringtown, Pennsylvania, made a comeback after qualifying in fifth place in the 65-69 group.
Lindner rolled a 736 total Friday, which was enough to hold off top qualifier Bobby Goss of Carrollton, Mississippi, who finished in second with 727.
Four of the six top qualifiers went on to capture titles in the Open Division.
Competitors at the 2018 USBC Senior Championships earned their spots through their state or province's senior tournaments.
