Nice to see the PBA taking some steps to regain popularity again. I've been hoping for that for a while now.

Post by: Fuller300 on January 30, 2009, 07:16:37 AM: So is it like each king for that day wins an amount of money or is the king left standing? If its the final king left standing it seems like they're hurting the higher seeds chances by making them bowl more matches. Maybe i've read this wrong

Whats everyone elses take on the format?
Title: Re: PBA going Primetime???
Post by: mmcfarland300 on January 30, 2009, 08:08:08 AM: I agree that it looks like the format would be harder on the top seeds.

Why would I eat sh!t? I never even talked about PBA going primetime on here I don't think.

And BTW, I already do. It's called plain tilapia, chicken, green beans, eggs, and turkey bacon for the last 3-4 months straight and only drinking water. Getting swole ain't EZ!

Post by: Pinbuster on January 30, 2009, 09:12:29 AM: While the prime time publicity is great and needed.

It is sad they can only get a set of exhibition matches on. I would like to see that sponsor money put into the general prize fund to benefit all the bowlers.

I donâ€™t understand the format. But it looks like the Player of the year has one shot at the start and then would have to win all his matches to stay on top and be king.

The lowest ranked players would be on the last show and only have to bowl one king of the hill match.
Title: Re: PBA going Primetime???
Post by: Gil on January 30, 2009, 09:26:23 AM: I would think they win each week. That would give the top seeded players a chance to win more times.

Hi Bob, were the good old boys.
Title: Re: PBA going Primetime???
Post by: riggs on January 30, 2009, 09:29:05 AM: The prize money is divided up so some is given out each week.
Title: Re: PBA going Primetime???
Post by: abrown on January 30, 2009, 09:33:16 AM: i would say the wild card will end up being a popular vote so if someone like tj or pdw arnt in the top ten they'll get in just off there name

Post by: BrianCRX90 on January 31, 2009, 05:12:10 PM: Hey this is cool. It's not official tournaments but it beats Rolls to Riches which I think outlived itself.

I'm hoping the summer tour will return though. I always envisioned they could make a summer tour for the exempt players at the end of the winter/summer tour and have a points race for bowlers that are not exempt instead of having the tour trials like they do now.

Post by: Platinum Bowler on January 31, 2009, 05:42:13 PM: Sounds good and I also think that it is great that it will be televised on Wednesday nights. There isn't anything worth watching at all on on that night!

Post by: BrianCRX90 on February 03, 2009, 09:43:46 PM: I kind of wish the PBA would go to Wednesday nights for regular telecasts anyways...maybe in the next season. At least try it for the first half. They did this in 2001 in the first half of the season having it on Tuesday nights. Perhaps they would have better ratings on a weekday night then a Sunday afternoon going against Football and just the fact it is on the afternoon.
