The first PBA Regional Players Invitational (RPI) qualifier event of 2022 begins today in South Glens Falls, N.Y. It will be the first of 14 RPI qualifiers over the next two months.

The RPI will be held Jan. 2-5, 2023 at South Point Bowling Plaza in Las Vegas, featuring 84 PBA and 48 PBA50 athletes.

Each region will send 12 players to the RPI: the season's top eight in points and the top four finishers in its RPI qualifier.

For the PBA50 division, each region will send the top four on the points list and the top three finishers in its RPI qualifier. The PBA50 Northwest Region’s RPI qualifier will award two spots.

If a player ranked in the top eight of their respective region earns a berth through an RPI qualifier, the player with the next-most points will qualify through the points list.

The top 50 players from the PBA Tour national points list and the top 10 players from the PBA50 Tour national points list will not be eligible for the RPI. However, a top 10 PBA50 player could be eligible in the standard division, provided they were also outside of the top 50 on the national tour.

Points earned in other PBA and PBA50 regionals will count towards 2022 RPI qualification through Nov. 14.
