The PBA50 Tour’s 2018 season will wrap up in grand fashion with big money on the line and a stacked roster at the PBA50 Storm Invitational.
A field of 14 players will compete LIVE on FloBowling for the top prize of $10,000 in an event that fans will definitely not want to miss.
Here’s what to look for at the PBA50 Storm Invitational:
Roster is a dream come true for fans
The field at the PBA50 Storm Invitational is a bowling fan’s dream. The roster of 14 players is chock full of household names set to do battle.
Among the players in the field are eight PBA Hall of Famers – Parker Bohn III, Norm Duke, Ron Mohr, Amleto Monacelli, Johnny Petraglia, Brian Voss, Pete Weber and Walter Ray Williams Jr. Joining them in the event are Lennie Boresch Jr., Michael Haugen Jr., Brian Kretzer, Bob Learn Jr., Ryan Shafer and Harry Sullins.
When you tally up the number of titles for all 14 players it comes out to a staggering 237 PBA Tour titles and 73 PBA50 titles.
Format should prove exciting
The format of this event should be very entertaining to watch. Since there’s a limited number of players, there’s no reason to bother with qualifying, so no need to worry about that.
Instead, the players will head straight to match play. With seven games on Saturday and seven games on Sunday, every game is sure to be a dream matchup for bowling fans.
The action will wrap-up with the top five players advancing to the stepladder finals on Sunday evening at 6 p.m.
Dick Weber pattern should yield big scores
The PBA Dick Weber pattern, which is 45 feet in length with a pattern ratio of 2.94 to 1, will be used this weekend and it should make for some entertaining bowling.
If you’re a fan of big scores and lots of strikes, you’ll want to tune in. The Dick Weber pattern has been used at a couple of events already this year.
At the Go Bowling! PBA 60th Anniversary Classic on the PBA Tour, nearly 60 percent of the field averaged 210 or better for the week.
Meanwhile, when this pattern was used at the PBA60 Dick Weber Championship, guys like Sullins, Mohr and Voss put up huge numbers. Sullins averaged 240.56, Voss averaged 231.63 and Mohr put up an average of 231.27.
What the schedule looks like
The PBA50 Storm Invitational will take place over two days starting Saturday and concluding Sunday (all times Eastern):
Saturday, Sept. 29
10 a.m. – Match Play Round 1 (seven games)
Sunday, Sept. 30
