Bowlero Elite Series On NBC Sports (I Did Not Spoil)
« on: April 10, 2019, 01:28:24 AM »
This was on tv tonight.  Winner got something like $260k and the runner-up got $60k.

Eight pros competed against each other and eight amatuers competed against each other, then the two winners bowled each other (pro vs amateur).  The tv show only showed the semi-final and final matches.

This is supposed to be a series and the next event will be broadcast in September.

Nice to see a larger prize fund available for bowling.

On the low side?  It was a 1 game match for $190,000.  Most people can't pry it off their mitt for $100. 



Compared to other PBA tournaments bowled on flat patterns?

to promote professional bowling it was a fail, however as a marketing campaign for Bowlero, it may be successful, time will tell if more bodies go bowling.

At least Barnes won the hall of famer 3 frame battle!

Anyone notice they had red oil on the lanes?

The pro player earned more than twice as much as he has made on tour this year so far.  Might screw over the PBA but I imagine the pro bowlers themselves are all for bowling against whoever for those kind of prizes.

If you look at the scores significant differences in scores between the two brackets as one would expect.  Final was a big outlier for the loser.  Neither final score gets the winner out of first round in one of the brackets.  (edit:  still gratz to winner for being consistent even under pressure)

The dude shot 237 for $270k.  Nerves become a factor no matter how easy the lanes are.  Pretty sure you have to be part of the private jet club to not be nervous for that kind of money.

Sorry, I thought my subject line was clear enough. 

It was on Tues night at 6pm AZ time on NBC Sports.  Check out the two links in my original post for more info.

I just checked my TV schedule and it does not show any repeats/replays for the next two weeks (that's as far as it goes in advance).  Might have to check youtube to see if it is available there.

If I'm bowling for a quarter million on a house shot, the LAST ball I'm throwing is IQ Tour, Pin up with polish. I loved Lefty's release.
