NCAA bowling competes as a National Collegiate sport, in which all three divisions compete for one National Championship. This year’s National Championship will be held in St. Louis, Missouri. It will be the first year that automatic qualifiers will take place in the sport of bowling; the six established conference winners will be added to the four schools selected at-large, who will compete for eight spots at the championship.
