Sherman was on site at Bowlero Jupiter and it wasn’t determined until after Monday’s PTQ that he wasn’t actually on the roster, sources told FloBowling. With the field full after the PTQ, there was no space for Sherman to enter the event.

Players are responsible for entering events on their own and ensuring they are on the roster for upcoming events. Sherman simply didn’t get his entry in and therefore was not able to compete.

Players with national titles have entry priority to ensure they have a spot in the event. Any spots not used then fall to the players in the PTQ made up of regional and PBA50 champions.

The field features 47 national champions and 17 players who advanced through the PTQ to fill the field at 64 players.

When reached by FloBowling, Sherman declined to comment Tuesday. On Wednesday morning, he did offer his thoughts on the Brad and Kyle YouTube channel, confirming what FloBowling reported.
