Men and women earn ranking points based on how they finish in each event. “Majors” award double points. The current points system is based on a continuous two-year cycle.

The top three men and top three women in the overall points list of the 2016 WBT ranking events will compete in the season-ending World Bowling Tour Finals Sunday, Feb. 26, 2017 at the Orleans Bowling Center in Las Vegas, Nev.

World Bowling provides governance to international bowling and is made up of 134 bowling international federations. For more information on the World Bowling Tour, click here.
