The tournament will be the third of four PBA Tour Xtra Frame tournaments on the 2011-12 PBA Tour schedule. The tournament will be webcast live, exclusively on pba.com’s Xtra Frame online bowling channel, from start to finish.
The newly-created Xtra Frame Tour will also include the Cheetah Open presented by Ebonite, Jan. 21-22, in Fountain Valley, CA; the Detroit Open presented by Track, March 11-12, in Allen Park, MI, and the Dick Weber PBA Playoffs presented by Hammer, March 31-April 1, in Indianapolis, IN.
PBA Tour titles and berths in the Round of 36 for the 2012 PBA Tournament of Champions will be awarded in all four events.
The PBA Ricart Ford Open will also offer a $10,000 first prize. The tournament is open to all comers with a $350 entry fee for PBA members and a $400 fee for non-members.
It will pay a prize fund of $66,000 based on a field of 130, with one in three players cashing. Thanks to the extensive live online coverage of Xtra Frame Tour events, PBA fans will be able to witness the pressures and drama of a complete PBA Tour event from qualifying through match play, concluding with the stepladder finals.
