The Dominican Republic will host the World Juvenile Bowling Tournament. It will be held at the Sebelen Bowling Center in October or November. Delegations from 50 countries are expected, with teams made up of 14 athletes. The DR became the site to the important world tournament when several nations refused to travel to Colombia for the event, citing the increased violence in that country. The DR hosted the Pan American tournament in 1997, with the participation of 18 countries.
