About the Tournament
Oil Pattern
The 2024 PBA LBC National Championships is a tournament for players of all skill levels, so the PBA has designed an oil pattern that is fun and challenging. It’s not a “house shot,” but also not as difficult as PBA Tour conditions, this year’s LBC pattern is slightly longer than last year’s popular pattern, at 43 feet in length, with 29.85 mLs of Kegel “Fire” conditioner and a ratio of 5:1.
