Trios Teams Finalized in Jonesboro
PBA Standings | PBA50 Standings | PWBA Standings
Qualifying for the PBA/PBA50/PWBA Jonesboro Trios is complete and the teams are set for match play.
This tournament marks the first time all three professional bowling tours have come together in a single event. A national title on each respective tour is at stake.
All players bowled two five-game qualifying rounds within their respective division on the 40-foot Monacelli oil pattern at Hijinx Entertainment Center in Jonesboro, Ark.
Trios teams were formed based on qualifying seed; the top qualifier in the PBA, PBA50 and PWBA divisions comprise Team 1, and so on.
Pinfall will be dropped before each team bowls 16 games of round-robin match play using the baker trios format on Saturday.
One player will bowl the first, fourth, seventh and 10th frames; a second will bowl the second, fifth and eighth; and the third will bowl the third, sixth and ninth frames.
All teams will rotate their lineup for the first 15 games, allowing each member to bowl five games from each position.
Teams will set their own lineup for games in the position round and stepladder finals.
Match play and the stepladder finals will be livestreamed on BowlTV.
