2018 PBA Parkside Lanes Open Finals Step 1 featuring Bill O'Neil vs Chris Via
Unique format means every game matters
The Parkside Lanes Open features a unique format in which every game on every pair matters – even during qualifying.
All of the players in the field will bowl together on one squad in two rounds of qualifying on Saturday and Sunday. The top 25 percent of the field will advance to the semifinals on Monday for another eight games.
That all sounds pretty typical, right? But, there’s a catch. For this tournament, 10 bonus pins will be awarded for each bowler a player beats on their pair every game in each of the three rounds.
Assuming four bowlers on each pair, the highest player each game will receive 30 bonus pins for beating the other three players. The second highest scorer would get 20 bonus pins, the third highest 10 bonus pins and the lowest scorer would get no bonus pins.
