Plan AheadAmerica's Tournament Since 1943
What began as a war bond tournament in 1943 has grown into one of bowling's longest-running tournament traditions. For more than eight decades, the Hoinke Classic has welcomed amateur men and women from across the country to compete on the lanes at Strike & Spare Western Bowl in Cincinnati, Ohio.
The Hoinke Classic has awarded more than $74 million in prize money and continues to draw competitors in Singles, Doubles, Team and All Events — a living tradition of the sport at its finest.
