Week eight of the PBA ELITE Regional Tour is loaded with current top 75 priority status PBA Tour players, a few United States Bowling Congress and PBA Hall of Famers, and countless ELITE champions looking to cash in. Let’s take a look at who is on the roster for the final regionals in the East, South and West held in Delaware, Florida and Las Vegas, starting on Saturday.

EAST

Soon-to-be PBA Tour roommates for next season Alex Horton and Brandon Bohn will hit the lanes at Mid-County Lanes & Entertainment Center. Tim Foy Jr. will be a local favorite in the house competing against Nick Pate, Nate Purches, BJ Moore, Jason Sterner and Julian Salinas. Salinas just won a gold and silver medal representing Team USA at the PANAM Bowling Champion of Champions in Costa Rica. Also keep your eyes on Ethan Crouse and Brian Robinson in the standard division.

Robert Mockenhaupt and Kip Roberts will try to win their second ELITE titles in the senior division. They will be challenged by Brad Angelo, Troy Lint, Jeff Ripic, Ryan Shafer and Liz Johnson. Johnson, who is in the USBC and PWBA Hall of Fame, is just the second woman to compete so far on the ELITE Regional Tour. They will all bowl on 43 feet of oil.

There are two squads with seven games of qualifying starting at 8 a.m. and 3 p.m. Eastern on Saturday. The top third in each division return at 8 a.m. ET on Sunday for four games in the advancers round. The top 8 from each group will move into round-robin match play scheduled to start at noon ET.

SOUTH

Inside Saint Lucie Lanes in Florida, ELITE champions Connor Breaman, Dallas Leong, Scott Newell, Tom Daugherty and Gary Faulkner are all seeking another regional title. Dick Allen, 2026 GoBowling U.S. Open champ Patrick Dombrowski, and young phenoms Ethan Fiore, Austin Grammar, Nate Garcia and Christian Mouton are also on the roster in the standard division.

In the senior division, there are several Florida residents ready to roll, including Andres Gomez, Peter Dohan Jr., Jon Rakoski, as well as USBC and PBA Hall of Famers Danny Wiseman and Amleto Monacelli. Daugherty, Wiseman and Randy Weiss all won PBA50 national titles this year, while Monacelli was the PBA60 Player of the Year. They also will be bowling on a 43-foot oil pattern.

Qualifying will begin at 10 a.m. ET on Saturday. The top third in each division return at 9 a.m. ET on Sunday for four games in the advancers round. The top 8 from each group will move into round-robin match play scheduled to start at noon ET.

WEST

West Regional 3 is loaded with current PBA priority status bowlers in Anthony Simonsen, Kyle Troup, Cam Crowe, Andrew Hall, Bryce Oliver, Stu Williams, Riley Woodard and Nate Stubler. Throw in Keven Williams, along with ELITE winners Nick Freiberg, Cameron Weier and Wesley Low Jr. DeeRonn Booker is also back on the lanes competing after he announced in late July, he had a rare and aggressive form of leukemia.

Within the senior division, ELITE champs Tom Adcock, Michael Bogue and Michael Haugen Jr. will take on Rick Benard, Rudy Kasimakis, Ricky Schissler, Dan Knowlton, Mario Quintero and Chris Warren, among others. They will compete inside South Point Bowling Plaza in Las Vegas on a 37-foot oil pattern.

There are two squads of qualifying scheduled to begin at 11 a.m. and 3:30 p.m. ET on Saturday. After seven games, there will be a cut to the top third of the field in the standard and senior divisions. Those bowlers will return to the lanes at 11 a.m. ET on Sunday for four games in the advancers round. From there, the top 8 in each division bowl round-robin match play, scheduled to begin at 2:30 p.m. ET.

Overall, the bowler with the highest pinfall total in each region will win their division. There is no stepladder final. You can watch all three regions only on BowlTV.

The top 5 non-PBA Tour priority finishers in every PBA ELITE Regional Tour event earn an automatic berth into the PBA Regional Players Invitations held in December. At that prestigious tournament, three priority status positions on the 2027 PBA Tour will be rewarded.
