Sorry folks, looks like the last post didn't post properly. After many meetings between the C5PBA executive and the provincial presidents the C5PBA has decided to CANCEL the 2020 Open Nationals as well as the 2020 InterProvincial (POA) Nationals. This is sad news indeed. The official letter from Canadian 5-Pin is posted below.

Attention Open Bowlers. Tonight the Northern Ontario executive and representatives from each zone came together to discuss the Open Provincial. The decision was made that in light of the Covid-19 pandemic the 2020 Northern Ontario Open Provincials will be cancelled.... Be safe everyone.

ATTENTION ALL ZONE PRESIDENTS AND DELEGATES: Please read the attached letter from Tim Gadd. Be advised that there will be an emergency conference call for all z...one presidents, delegates, and the NO5PBA executive on Sunday, March 29th in the afternoon (time to be advised at a later date) to discuss the upcoming Open Provincial Championship. - Brandon
