Bowling
American Wheelchair Bowling Association rules will be followed. Winners will be determined by counting the total pins attained in three complete games. Averages and handicaps will not be considered. For veterans who are unable to roll a standard bowling ball down the lane due to either arm weakness or limitations in range of motion; a handle ball or stick would allow for some veterans to be able to roll the ball down the lane. For veterans with more severe limitations in arm function, a ramp would be appropriate as determined by the NVWG Classifiers.
Ramp bowlers are divided into two categories: hand
control and
head/mouth control. Please
reach out if you have questions about being classified to use a
Bowling Ramp. NVWG Classifiers will make final
determination.
Equipment: General bowling alley balls will be
provided, and Veterans may use their own bowling balls. A limited
amount of adaptive equipment will be available including handle
balls and bowling sticks. If you require a bowling ball with
special sized holes, please bring your own ball. Bowling ramps are
available for those eligible to use in competition.
For 2026: DROP-IN Event - Competition will be by Class, Division and Sex.
