With all the negatives about the PBA tour last 2 years at least they made something interesting I've never seen and no one has ever seen...match play qualifying on television including of course the finals on tv for the title as with this tournament and any other. Not the paid thing the PBA was using to watch match play on tv but actually on ESPN which quite certain this has never been done before. I've wanted this for a decade at least.
Now how to do it without basic cameras only used for internet and doing it on live cable tv will be interesting. This has been my favorite tournament to get into every year and looking forward to it. The winner of the tournament gets 80k.FYI the match play on Friday and Saturday look to be on ESPN 2 and the finals on Sunday is on ESPN:
