    After the conclusion of the Asian Championships in Hong Kong earlier today, which served as the qualifier for the Asian Bowling Federation (ABF), the field of 36 men's teams and 36 women's teams is now complete. Asia will be represented by 12 teams in each division.

    Eight teams plus host country United States come from the Pan American Bowling Confederation (PABCON). The PABCON Combined Championships, which served as the qualifier for the eight countries, who will sent a men's and women's team each, was contested Strike Zone (pictured right) in Henderson (Aug. 18-26, 2012). As the host country Team USA was automatically qualified for the event.

    The WTBA Executive Board has decided that substitutes will be invited in case of withdrawals.
