"The format list was sent to all exempts. Yes, there is a house shot tourney. Yes, there is a plastic ball tourney on cheetah. Both have a TQR. Yes, there are combo pattern tourneys. There are other formats coming, too." - Lundquist


Sounds interesting. Some of those formats are great ideas.

Jan. 11: PBA National Bowling Stadium Championship.

Lane oil pattern: Mixed (Cheetah and Shark).
Round One of qualifying will feature the Shark Pattern, while Round Two of qualifying will feature Cheetah. For match play and on TV, the left lane on the pair will be oiled with the Shark pattern the right lane, Cheetah.
 

Expect averages to drop big time once match play starts. I can't wait too see how ugly the scores will be on tv. This is the format I've been dreaming about. You do this in league averages for most bowlers would drop at least 20 pins. This tournament should be interesting to say the least!
