Ed' Outlook
The Professional
Bowlers Association’s PBA League will return to Bayside Bowl in
Portland, Maine, in April where the most fun-loving, raucous fans in
bowling will help celebrate PBAL season six, closing out the ESPN
portion of the inaugural Go Bowling! PBA Tour schedule with four
consecutive Sunday telecasts, including the PBA League Elias Cup finals
on Sunday, May 13, at 1 p.m. EDT.
Leading
the eight-team pack into the fast-paced sixth season of PBA League
competition will be player-manager Norm Duke’s Dallas Strikers, in
search of their third consecutive Elias Cup. Chasing the Strikers again
will be the hometown Portland
Lumberjacks, managed by Tim Mack; the Silver Lake Atom Splitters,
managed by Mark Baker; the Philadelphia Hitmen, managed by Jason Couch;
L.A. X, managed by Andrew Cain; the New York City WTT KingPins, managed
by Carolyn Dorin-Ballard; the Motown Muscle, managed by Del Ballard, and
the Brooklyn Styles, managed by Johnny Petraglia.
In
keeping with tradition, the PBA League will officially get underway
with team managers announcing the names of three players from their 2017
rosters who they want to protect when the annual player draft is held.
On January 7 Duke and Mack (Dallas and Portland) will name three players
from their 2017 rosters they want to retain for the new season. On
January 14, Baker and Couch (Silver Lake and Philadelphia) will
announced their three protected players. Cain and Dorin-Ballard (L.A.
and New York City) will select their three protected players by no later
than January 21, and Ballard and Petraglia (Motown and Brooklyn) will
have until January 28 to name their three protected players.
All
eight teams will then round out their five-player rosters in the PBA
League Draft which will be held on Tuesday, Feb. 13, in Indianapolis,
site of the Go Bowling! PBA 60th Anniversary Classic, at Woodland Bowl.
The draft will be live streamed on PBA’s online bowling channel, Xtra
Frame, with teams picking in reverse order of how they finished in 2017.
That means Brooklyn will select first – in both rounds – followed by
Motown, New York City, L.A., Philadelphia, Silver Lake, Portland and
Dallas. Of note, the 2018 draft will not use the serpentine order used
in previous years.
There
also will be a change in eligibility rules for players wanting to enter
the 2018 draft pool. Players who will be eligible for the draft must
finish in the top 75 on the 2017-18 PBA Tour-World Bowling Tour earnings
money list for 2017 through the 2018 PBA Tournament of Champions which
ends February 11. Players from 2017 teams who are not protected by their
team managers will not be automatically eligible for the draft. The
eligibility list will be published on Feb. 11; eligible players must
then declare their intention to participate in the draft by Feb. 12.
The
PBA League’s return to Portland will get underway with the PBA Xtra
Frame Maine Shootout April 17-19, with a PBA Tour title at stake in an
open entry event that will be covered from start to finish on Xtra
Frame.
On
Friday, April 20, all PBA League teams will bowl an eight-game Baker
format “seeding tournament” to determine seeding positions for the Baker
format single-elimination match play bracket.
The
PBAL quarterfinals will take place on Saturday, April 21, with the No. 1
seeded team vs. No. 8 and No. 4 vs. No. 5 on the first ESPN telecast
that will air on Sunday, April 22. Immediately following on Saturday
will be the second round of quarterfinal round matches between team No. 2
vs. No. 7, and No. 3 vs. No. 6. Those matches will air on ESPN on
Sunday, April 29. All quarterfinal matches will be “best of two-game”
Baker format team contests with a one-ball roll-off to break any ties.
Saturday’s
winning teams will advance to the semifinal round on Sunday, April 22,
at noon. The semifinal round winners will then bowl for the Elias Cup
later on Sunday. The semifinal matches will air on ESPN on Sunday, May
6, with the Elias Cup finals airing on May 13.
All PBA League matches will be live streamed as they happen on ESPN3 and the ESPN app.
At the conclusion of the competition, the PBA will announce the Mark Roth PBA League Most Valuable Player.
The Bowling Tip
By Mike Luongo
How many people are thinking about or actually following safety guidelines while at the bowling alley.
Bowling safety is a topic that is not on many people's minds when they enter the alley.
There are so many ways in which you can get hurt while bowling.
First, when you are just walking around, you should mare sure of where
you are.....you should never be behind a person that is swinging a
bowling ball.
While bowling, you should be the only person standing on the approach to the lane.
If there is someone in a lane next to you then you should wait because
some bowlers tend to talk off to the sides after throwing their ball and
do not realize that they have walked into the next lane.
It is absolutely necessary that you properly warm up before starting to bowl...will prevent you from getting strained muscles.
Ensure that you are wearing proper footwear and any bowler will want their own properly fit bowling shoes.
Be aware of any liquid on the floor...this could lead to sudden painful stopping or slipping.
Always pick up your bowling ball with both hands..this will reduce strain by at least 50%,
Make sure you stay behind the foul line as the area after that is completely oiled.
Be alert while bowling...safety should be considered at all times.
