Am I reading the information incorrectly?
It sounds like only 7 of the 13 PWBA tour stops will get television coverage on CBS Sports Network.

That is terrible. Hope I am wrong.

Enjoyed watching the ladies and seniors bowl yesterday, but these announcers are horrible. I don’t understand why it’s so hard to get good announcers on xtra frame. Lame jokes and having no idea of what’s going on is just bad for the product.

Part of what is going on here is that the stepladders will be in the same house and same week as the qualifying.

Believe it or not, in the past (including last season) many of the PWBA stepladders were rolled weeks after qualifying. They would be held at another location so that CBS SportsNet could record multiple stepladder finals all on one day. Last year Liz Johnson had to bowl in three different stepladder finals ON THE SAME DAY.

That's just pathetic.

Then, what's the point of bringing the women's side back for in the first place?

What a joke.
