2019 PBA World Series of Bowling - Thunderbowl Lanes in Detroit

source: Fox Sports 1
What a season, PBA.
Since the move from ESPN to FS1, it's been nothing short of phenomenal.

Blue oil on the lanes featured on ESPN broadcasts has been replaced by entry angles and ball speed on FS1.

Best of all, lots more live telecasts. This past week was the 10th World Series of Bowling from Thunderbowl Lanes in Detroit, Michigan. With an added feature in the TV finals. To make the show, the Top 16 bowl off in best of 5 game single elimination matches. Top 4 make the FS1 TV show. They bowl 1 game in a 4-way match. Scores determine seeds for stepladder finals.

3/18: Cheetah - Dick Allen
3/19: Chameleon - Jason Belmonte
3/20: Scorpion - Kris Prather (first PBA title)
3/21: World Championship - Jason Belmonte (standard stepladder)
3/22: USA vs. World - World (best of 3 Baker matches)

Kyle Sherman of Brad & Kyle's YouTube page made 2 shows, Cheetah (finished 2nd) and Team USA on USA vs. World. Kyle's first Top 16 opponent to make the TV show was none other than Brad Miller. Kyle's next opponent to make the Top 4, Dom Barrett.

Here's their vlog:
