The Korea Bowling Congress (KBC) will host the inaugural World Tenpin Bowling Championships for Men from August 27 through September 9, 2006 at the Asiad Bowling Center in Busan.
This will be the first time the men's worlds are conducted separately from the women. The inaugural women's championships were held in Denmark last year.
44 countries - almost half of them from Europe (22) with 17 from Asia and mere 5 from the American Zone - have announced to send a delegation to the championships.
Pictured is our current residence, the Busan Lotte Hotel.
Here is a list of participants in alphabetical order as of August 21, 2006 courtesy of Ae Kyung Suh from the organizing committee:
Australia, Austria, Bahamas, Bulgaria, Canada, China, Chinese Taipei, Czech Republic, Denmark, Egypt, England, Finland, France, Germany, Gibraltar, Greece, Guam, Hong Kong, Israel, Japan, Kuwait, Malaysia, Mexico, Netherlands, New Zealand, Norway, Philippines, Poland, Qatar, Russia, Saudi Arabia, Scotland, Singapore, Slovakia, South Africa, Spain, Sweden, Thailand, UAE, Ukraine, United States, Venezuela, Wales and the host country of Korea.
Maximum six players per team will compete for gold, silver and bronze medals on dual lane condition in Singles (short oil), Doubles (long oil), Trios (short and long oil), five-player Teams (short and long oil), All Events and Masters (short and long oil).
