CAMBRIDGE CREDIT INVITATIONAL – 2026 

NEBA has made several important changes to the Invitational format based on feedback from our members over the past few seasons.

Biggest Update

We've reduced the number of guaranteed match play spots from the Top 16 in Bowler of the Year points to the Top 8.

What This Means

More at-large match play spots will now be available, giving additional competitors an opportunity to qualify for match play—one of the biggest requests we've received from our membership.

Additional Updates

• Squad Times: 9:00 AM & 1:00 PM
• Limit 4 bowlers per pair (both squads)
• Both qualifying rounds will be bowled on fresh oil
Super Match Play will be contested on the burn
