That's about all you need to know.  Just follow the double jump rule and you'll be set.

Normally you need you name on the back of your shirt..A belt if it has loops and I believe dress slacks is the only other thing I can think of

Your name on the back of your shirt has to have letters that are at least 2" tall. If your shirt is the old retro style bowling shirt or buttons from top to bottom you may leave it untucked. If it's a polo or mock neck shirt it must be tucked in. If your pants have belt loops you must wear a belt. No jeans, cords, sweats, shorts, windpants, etc. You may not wear any head gear either. Your shirt cannot have logos from companies that are not approved by the pba.

A little common sense goes a long way. This is a professional tounament. Remember that. Comb your hair. Shave, shower, and try to look the part. I know it seems silly to bring these up but you'd be surprised at how people show up to these events.

Go to the PBA website and go to "resources"  locate Rule book.  Click on it and the rule book will appear as a PDF file.  It is under section 13.5  This will tell you all that you need to know about attire.  There's other things in the rule book that is helpful too.

17.4 Lane Courtesy and Double Jumping.

Competitors must observe one (1) pair lane courtesy at all times. Competitors may not "Double Jump." Double jumping occurs following a delivery when a competitor on the same pair delivers his or her ball before one (1) competitor from the pair to the right and one (1) competitor from the pair to the left have made a delivery, unless those competitors are not ready to bowl or they give way.

Penalty for Subsequent Offenses Same Tournament:
Minor Penalty - $50

17.6.1 When Lane Courtesy is Observed. If lane courtesy is being observed, a
competitor shall have twenty-five (25) seconds to start his or her delivery, once the lane courtesy requirement has been satisfied.

17.6.2 When Lane Courtesy is NOT Observed.

a. Competitors will have twenty-five (25) seconds to start their delivery from
the time the opponent steps off the approach.
b. When moving to the left lane or shooting a spare, a competitor will have
twenty-five (25) seconds to start their delivery from the time his or her
bowling ball comes back to the ball return.
