Winning the 2009 PBA Regional Players Championship at Thunderbowl Lanes in suburban Detroit, however, became a life-changing experience. Along with the RPC title, Ciccone earned his first trip to the PBA Tournament of Champions, an $8,000 prize and a boost in confidence that helped him also regain his Tour exemption the following week in the PBA Tour Trials.

The PBA Regional Players Championship returns to Thunderbowl May 28-31 at Thunderbowl as a stand-alone event. There won’t be a PBA Tour Trials as a companion event this time around, but the ultimate prize at the end of the RPC rainbow is brighter than ever.

The RPC, a tournament open exclusively to non-exempt PBA members, is one of two PBA Regional majors, rewarding the winner a projected $8,000 prize, but even more valuable will be a paid entry into the $1 million PBA Tournament of Champions – the richest tournament in bowling history.

For a $295 entry fee, the RPC winner will get a shot at a record $250,000 first prize. A long shot for a bowler dreaming of one day becoming a PBA star? Certainly – but you can ask Tom Smallwood or Kelly Kulick about having big dreams. Smallwood, an out-of-work auto industry employee, won the 2009 PBA World Championship for his first title. Kulick, the first woman ever to get a chance to bowl in the Tournament of Champions, converted her opportunity into a historic victory for women bowlers in the 2010 Tournament of Champions.

The 2010 RPC will be a contest among the nation’s top non-exempt PBA players. For some, it will be a yardstick to measure their skills against the field, and figure out what they need to do to elevate their games to a higher plateau. For some, it’s just great competition. For others, it’s the first step in pursuit of a dream.

For bowlers who are not yet members of the PBA, but would like to become eligible for the RPC, click on any of the pba.com home page tabs (News, Bowlers, Schedule) and look for the “Join PBA” link in the upper right corner. For RPC entry information, visit pba.com and look for the “PBA Regional Players Championships” link under the Schedules tab.

For Xtra Frame subscribers, the final day of RPC competition on Monday, May 31, will be covered live on the PBA’s exclusive online video streaming service. If you are not a subscriber, visit pba.com and click on the Xtra Frame logo for more information.

Van Hees finished the first eight qualifying games with a total of 1,896 pins. White had a 1,852 total. The field of 172 non-exempt PBA members will bowl another eight games Sunday, after which the field will be cut to the top 64 for single-elimination match play competition on Monday. First prize in the tournament is $8,000 plus a guaranteed berth in the 2011 PBA Tournament of Champions, a $1 million event with a $250,000 first prize.

Troy Stus, son of retired PBA Senior Tour star Gene Stus, was in third place with 1,832 pins followed by former PBA Touring Player Brian Himmler of Cincinnati with 1,822 pins and Tommy Gollick of Oberlin, Pa., with 1,799 pins. Shannon Pluhowsky, who is trying to become the first woman to win the RPC, was in seventh place with 1,776 pins.
