 (WTBA).

This ten-pin equivalent is known as the 'World Ranking Masters' and is made up of three vast tours: the European, Americas and Asian bowling tours. The Masters' is worked out at the end of the three tours, the European, Americas (Not American although it does cover the US) and Asian tours.

 website http://www.etbf.dk/ebt/ranking/overview.htm. It is also reported on in the leading Tenpin news site http://www.bowlingdigital.de/bowling/node/10045/1.

The World Ranking Masters is played on the "Dual Condition" format. Over the years the format has changed. The current qualifying format takes place over 3 days, with 8 games being played each day. The first day is played on a "long" lane pattern (oiled to around 44ft), the second on a "short" pattern (oiled to around 35ft). The final day is played on a "mixed" pattern (each lane is dressed alternately with the long and short patterns).

The top 8 Men and top 8 Women over the 24 games qualify for the single-elimination matchplay finals. The finalists are seeded according to their final position in qualifying. The finals are played using "best of 3" matchplay style on alternating lane patterns. The higher seeded player has the choice of which pattern to start on.

These patterns force the players to attack the 2 different lane conditions using different angles/equipment/hand positions and is the best way to determine the player with the most skills, versatility and knowledge.
