The final six games of qualifying will begin with Bohn III and the B-squad starting at noon Eastern on Friday followed by the A-squad at 5 p.m. ET. The top 52 players will advance to bowl six games in the cashers’ round on Saturday starting at noon ET with total pinfall for 18 games to determine the top 12. Currently, the cut line is at 1,280 (+80).
Those bowlers will be split into two match-play groups. Group 1 will include the odd seeded bowlers (1, 3, 5, 7, 9 and 11) while Group 2 will be the even seeds. They will bowl six head-to-head matches within their group starting at 6 p.m. ET Saturday, ending with a final position round. Thirty bonus points go to the winners of each match.
The highest score with bonus pins in each group will earn automatic spots in Sunday’s stepladder finals. The player with the most overall total pins will be the No. 1 seed, while the other group leaders will be each group’s No. 2 seed.
The third and fourth players in each group will bowl one game head-to-head. The winner will then bowl the player in second. Those final two winners will take on each other in the first match of the stepladder finals, scheduled to start at 2 p.m. ET on Sunday. Watch all of the action on BowlTV.
