There are a variety of tournaments you can compete in.  You can even play with a friend or for money.  Some competitions have top payouts of thousands of dollars.  The better you become, the bigger the prize money will be for the competition.  Some tounaments last three or four days and somejust a few hours.  One thing to keep in mind though is that almost all tournaments have an entry fee and if you don't place, that money is lost.

        Usually tournaments, especially big ones have sponsors that will donate money for the rewards of the tournament.  A lot of times these sponsors are beer companies or bowling ball manufacturers.  Basically companies that will appeal to the bowlers and viewers of the tournament.  If you plan to get into a tournament go into a smaller one before getting into the big money.
