Fans Decide Who Will Bowl the Pros


ARLINGTON, Texas – Most people who play sports can only dream of having a
chance to compete against the pros on national television with thousands of dollars at
stake.

For 18 bowlers, their chance to compete against some of the best professionals on
the Lumber Liquidators PBA Tour, including star Norm Duke, is closer to becoming
a reality through the PBA Experience Showdown.
The PBA Experience Showdown is a unique competition for United States Bowling
Congress Sport Bowling members. Sport bowlers compete in leagues which use
many of the same lane conditions that are used on the PBA Tour. For the last six
months, the top bowler (highest scratch series) each week in those leagues was eligi-
ble to be entered in the PBA Experience Showdown.
More than 1,300 entries were sent to USBC from Sport Bowling leagues. From
those qualifiers, 18 competitors were randomly selected as finalists. The entries were
divided into six groups based on what lane conditions they bowled on when they
qualified, and three finalists were randomly selected from each category.
Now through March 1, bowling fans can visit BOWL.com and vote for their
favorite bowler from each of the six lane patterns – Chameleon, Cheetah, Scorpion,
