In years past, the Regional Tour Championship was a single event hosting the top regional tour players from around the country. While this event will continue to host the top regional tour players, this year's format is a bit different, with both West Coast and East Coast divisions with the winners from each division receiving a paid spot to the 2012 WPBA U.S. Open. There, the division champions will not only participate in the WPBA U.S. Open, they will also play a final match for the title of 2012 Regional Tour Champion.
Please watch the WPBA website at www.wpba.com for updates on the coming events.
