With 12 teams this year, up from eight last year, the PBA League will split into two divisions in 2020 when it gets underway this weekend.

The league, which teams up the best bowlers in the sport to compete in a Baker format event, will start Sept. 26 live exclusively on FloBowling with a seeding round. After that, all rounds will be broadcast live on FS1 (United States) and FloBowling (international).

The 12 teams in the league have been broken up into two divisions.

The Anthony Division will feature the NYC KingPins, Motown Muscle, Portland Lumberjacks, L.A. X, Brew City Ballers and Miami Waves.

In the Carter Division are the Dallas Strikers, Philadelphia Hitmen, Brooklyn Styles, Silver Lake Atom Splitters, Las Vegas High Rollers and Phoenix Fury.

Every round of competition in this year’s PBA League will take place on the Mark Roth 42 pattern.

Here’s a breakdown of the format for each round:

Seeding Round

Last year, the seeding round simply determined the seed for each team. This year, there’s a lot more on the line when the teams compete Sept. 26 exclusively on FloBowling.

The Anthony Division will bowl its seeding round at 10 a.m. Eastern, while the Carter Division will bowl at 2 p.m. Eastern.

The seeding round will consist of 12 Baker games across six pairs with one team per pair. Each game, the team with the highest score will receive 50 bonus pins. Second place will receive 40 pins, third 30 pins, fourth 20 pins, fifth 10 pins and sixth zero pins.

The two highest-scoring teams over the 12 games in each division will earn a bye directly into the PBA League semifinals, which makes the seeding round more important than ever.

Divisional Quarterfinals

In the divisional quarterfinals, the No. 3 seed will take on the No. 6 seed, while the No. 4 seed will meet the No. 5 seed to determine which teams will advance.

Each match will be a best-of-three points match, and if it’s tied 1-1 after two games, the tie-breaking point will be determined by a one-ball sudden-death rolloff.

The Anthony Division quarterfinals will take place at Noon Eastern on Sept. 27, while the Carter Division quarterfinals will be that night at 7 p.m. Eastern.

Divisional Semifinals

The divisional semifinals will see the top two seeds in each division taking on the advancing teams from the quarterfinals.

The No. 1 seed will take on the winner of the No. 4 vs. No. 5 match, while the No. 2 seed gets the winner of the No. 3 vs. No. 6 match. The same best-of-three points format that was used in the quarterfinals will be used again.

The semifinals will take place Sept. 28 with the Anthony Division at 7 p.m. Eastern and the Carter Division at 9 p.m. Eastern.

Divisional Finals

The winners of the divisional semifinals matches will advance into the finals and face off for the right to bowl for the Elias Cup.

Using the same best-of-three points format as the previous rounds, the divisional winners in the Anthony Division and Carter Division will be determined.

This round will take place Sept. 29 at 7 p.m. Eastern.

Elias Cup Finals

On Sept. 30 at 7 p.m. Eastern, the Elias Cup champion will be crowned as the Anthony winner takes on the Carter winner for the title.

In a change from last year, however, the format will be slightly different. This year, the title will be determined with a best-of-five games match.

Last year, it was two best-of-three points matches and if it was tied after that, a sudden-death rolloff. This year’s format should be much easier for fans to follow.
