The 64th Annual Miracle Strip Invitational Tournament

Among our most anticipated upcoming bowling tournaments, the Miracle Strip Invitational Tournament is a fan favorite—and for good reason. Now in its 64th year, this USBC-certified event is known as “The Biggest Little Tournament on the Gulf Coast.” Spanning seven big weekends from July 12 to August 25, 2025, this tournament brings in hundreds of bowlers from across the region.

Participants can enter the Men’s or Mixed Division, with a first-place team prize of $3,000 (based on 300 teams). Events are structured around four-person teams with multiple shifts available each weekend to accommodate different schedules. Cordova Lanes also offers special hotel rates for out-of-town bowlers, making it easy to turn the tournament into a weekend getaway.

New Divisions and More Chances to Win

This year’s tournament includes even more flexibility for bowlers. We’re offering Team, Doubles and Singles events on Friday evenings at 6:00 PM and Saturday at 5:00 PM. For the more competitive crowd, there’s also a scratch division with a 100% payback for just $10 per person, per event. Whether you're aiming for the top spot or just enjoying the thrill of the game, there’s a tournament format designed for you.

How to Get Involved

Getting involved in our bowling tournaments is easy. Entry forms can be submitted in advance to lock in your preferred weekend and time slot. Early registration is highly recommended, especially for the first few weekends, as they tend to fill up quickly.
