Welcome Bowlers!

The Northern California Nisei Bowling Federation consists of the 13 recognized associations displayed on the map (left). Each association consists of one or more bowling leagues where the majority of the bowlers are of Japanese descent. The purpose of the Federation is to unite these leagues and/or associations for the purpose of developing a spirit of good fellowship, recognition of outstanding achievement of its members and retain the spirit and heritage of Japanese ancestry.

Five of the associations organize and run a tournament which is either open to all members of the Federation or open to all Nisei league bowlers (requirements vary from tournament to tournament). At these tournaments, the members can gather, compete on the lanes, rekindle old friendships and start new ones.

The idea behind this website is to provide the members with a centralized source for tournament information, which includes entry forms and results, and general news and information about the Federation.

Thanks for visiting!

Purpose of the NCNBF...

• Provide a uniform method of identifying membership and keep track of members in good standing to protect the integrity of our organization.
• Act as a central hub for the sharing of information. We distribute tournament entry forms to each of the 13 member associations and post them to this website.
• Help maintain an even playing field at the association tournaments based upon recent tournament performance. Readjustment recommendations are sent to the tournament chairperson prior to the start of their tournament.
• An umbrella organization that meets at least twice a year to serve the interest of its membership.
