I'd love to see Maximum Bob get his tour card back and make a few more shows. He stayed loyal to 900 Global after they de-registered a few years back and has my respect for that. Plus he's a lot of fun to watch.

While the big news will be about Chris, I think the bigger, more untold news here is Lynda also being signed.

I say that, because it would give some clout to her picking up professional bowling again. She mentioned a couple of years ago that she retired from that, with the exception of a few events, like the Queens or Women's US Open, but now with her being signed along with Chris, as well as the news of the PWBA restarting this year, this could mean her return to bowling on the tour. Depending on when and where they schedule events, Lynda may make a comeback.
