The face to face stages of the 2023 Open, Mixed, Senior and Women's USBCs will be held from May 1 to May 25, 2023.
Here's the calendar for face to face play:
If more than 16 teams enter the Open USBC, there will be an online Round Robin to reduce the field to 16 for face to face play, which will probably start on March 31st. If more than 8 teams enter the Mixed USBC, there will be an online Round Robin to reduce the field to 8 for face to face play, which will probably start on April 13th. If more than 8 teams enter the Senior USBC, there will be an online Round Robin to reduce the field to 8 for face to face play, which will probably start on April 25th. If more than 4 teams enter the Women's USBC, there will be an online Round Robin to reduce the field to 4 for face to face play, which will probably start on April 25th.
Players may enter any event for which they are eligible and may compete in more than one Round Robin. A player who qualifies for the World Championship in face to face play may not play in any subsequent USBC. For example, a player may enter both the Mixed and Senior USBCs and compete in both Round Robins. But if that player's Mixed team qualifies for the World Championship, the player must withdraw from their Senior team. Teams can replace players who have to withdraw for this reason or because they have died with any other eligible player, including one who played in the Round Robin for the same event but did not qualify for face to face play. Teams that wish to replace players who played in the Round Robin and have withdrawn for any other reason may do so only with permission of the USBF Board. No players may be added to teams between the Round Robin and face to face play.
Entries for all of the 2023 USBCs will open in July, and will close as follows:
Open - March 14;
Mixed - March 21;
Seniors & Women's - March 28;
In all cases, additional teams will be accepted for about a week after the close of entries if they would improve the format of the event.
