Ohio used to be a big bowling state, but like everything else its dying.

Cincinnati area guys- if you could post your local tournament dates and/or websites that would be great. I would like to bowl in more tournaments and the more information the better.

You can bever go wrong with City/State Tourney's coming up, even though State is officially closed, I'm sure you can still get in. City is open until Jan 22 I think. It's at Princeton Lanes near Fairfield this year, just 15 minutes north of Cincinnati. It's a older house, but I recall 50+ lanes. Haven't bowled there since 98 so it will be a whole new house to me.
I get msg's from ppl about tourneys' mostly in SW ohio, so I'll post them when I receive them.
Himmler, yeah he's one of Ohio's - actually met him when he was home for awhile, typical Pro attitude - like all sports, but good guy to talk to.

I'm a Senior at Fairfield High School and am on the Varsity bowling team.
Average-209. Balls- Nomad Solid, Raw Hammer Anger....Stroker.
Be on the lookout for us to go far, we have a great team, and great team dynamics and chemistry. The kid that beat me out in trouts averaged 215. I kept mine at 209.
Look forward to hitting up some tourny's after High School. But we're focusing on GMC's and state right now :)

I've been to Cincy once! From what I've seen, bowling is fairly big in Ohio.

King of the Hill tournament April 1, 2012 at TP Lanes in Bellefontaine. Three game qualifier. Top 10 advance; 1 v 10, 2 v 9 etc. The five winners will then bowl in a step ladder elimination format until a winner. $35 entry fee. This is a monthly tournament. I went in March, had a great time. 1st paid $250, 2nd $135 and I don't remember 3-5th

I'm from Toledo bowling seems to be doing pretty well here multiple houses filled Monday-Friday. We have lost most of our 2nd shift leagues but your typical 6-7 pm start time ones are doing well.
