2024 PBA/PBA50/PWBA Jonesboro Trios Stepladder Finals

[@jasonsmith3537]

PBA needs more of this format... This was a blast.

[@Luke-1296]

Would have been so much better if this was televised.

[@williamford9564]

There is not enough interest, thus the TV ratings would be a loser for the network. The only reason the PBA and the PWBA are on national TV for some tournaments is that they are PAYING Fox and CBS to do this, just like corn hole, pickleball and other two bit sports.

[@zedsodead]

It was an amazing tournament. I watched all of the matchplay and the finals on bowltv, and yes, it should've been on regular tv. So many legends and pwba stars, and the pba stars together. A rare treat. But I guess people would rather watch the Kardashians talk on their phones.

[@AwesomeScosh]

Please bring this format to the TV shows!

[@garla5851]

If they want to bring Bowling back they need to put it back on Antenna TV 📺, on Saturday or Sunday afternoon Especially starting in January and February when there’s no Football 🏈

[@Tnguy865vols]

Really liked this but wish it was on tv and had interviews with the winners atleast. Congratulations Trio Champs 🏆

[@Mage_Nichlas_]

The PBA Legends event was cool but *THIS* is how you should do it, and on an actual full PBA broadcast.

[@galkanftw]

When this started I thought Frankie was up against Hess and thought man tough first match Hess has been real good all year.So when I figured out they were on the same team I was like wow that is a good team they could win this.

[@Vietboy004]

sean rash always does that

[@cruise2023]

Yep, can't help himself !

[@bowlersoup]

Great format 🔥

[@bowlnow824]

I liked this format. But everyone understand it takes a lot of money to get these events on TV. If the sponsors don't show up it can't happen. I think they should advertise thees events a little more than just on the website and a commercial here and there. I really would like to see them team up with the PGA for one golf and bowl event

[@unknown00465]

ive beeeeennnn waiting sooooo long for this lol

[@foxwolf316]

Why is there no video of the mix doubles? Do you have videos of the mix doubles?

[@jerrycasper614]

This was great format but it moved soooooo slowly. Why can't one bowler go ahead and bowl while the other lane is waiting to shoot a spare. Also, think teams should alternate lanes after five or six frames. Finals should be two games on alternating lanes to take out any lane advantage. I enjoyed watching the tournament but didn't appreciate its sloth-like pace.

[@lockedonlaw]

Never take the camera off Danielle McEwan!

[@user-hr7im6fn7j]

Come on Brad you got too many balls up on the rack

[@Vietboy004]

waste

[@garla5851]

04:21 WHO FARTED?

[@williamford9564]

1:08:46: First bowler to move almost in front of the ball return. He takes a 4 step approach but the first step is just a stutter step.

[@Krranski]

Geesh, folks, take spare balls off the ball return. People leaving multiple balls up there is such an obnoxious thing in a team event.

[@andrewphillips2179]

PbaBowling, That was an awesome upload of the Stepladder Finals of the Pba/Pba50/Pwba Jonesboro Trios. Also, The 1st and Semi Final Matches of the Pba/Pba50/Pwba Jonesboro Trios had awesome finishes.

[@jamedlock83]

Was this held in Jonesboro, Arkansas?

[@Xavier-ie8ru]

Yes

[@jakesnussbuster3565]

i wonder if the description says where it was...

I have an idea for a different way to play "Trios". Usually if its 2 teams of 2 people competing one player on the team bowls the even numbered frames and the other player bowls the odd numbered frames. However, there is another way to do teams that is rarer but I have seen it done where they alternate shots, so if player one fails to get a strike then player 2 goes for the spare and then player one starts the next frame. They should try doing TRIOS that way where instead of taking turns doing frames causing one player to do 4 while the others only get to do 3 they simply alternate shots. In regular trios the 3rd player's first frame is the 3rd but with this variant if player one fails to get a strike and player 2 picks up the spare then player 3 starts the 2nd frame. Has this idea ever been tried?

[@chaos0852]

Two teams of two people is doubles, they already have that tournament

[@Zurround]

@@chaos0852 I am saying that a different way to do trios where the 3 players each do one SHOT in order rather than have assigned frames. Maybe you did not read my post thoroughly and carefully? My idea is different. Its one SHOT for the player before it is the next player's turn not a FRAME. It is theoretically possible for all 3 team mates to participate in the final 10th frame too.

[@therealhonestraider7921]

PATTERNS ONLY PLAY DIFFERENTLY BECAUSE THE HOUSE DIDNT STRIP THE LANES AND APPLY THE SPORT SHOT 3 TIMES BEFORE ALLOWING COMMPETITORS THE CHANCE TO PLAY IT. THIS IS ALSO WHY THE OLYMPICS DOESNT WANT BOWLING... TO MAINTAIN THE INTEGRITY OF THE SPORT... AND TO ENSURE THAT EVERYTHING PERFORMS AS INTENDED... BOWLING FROM A WHOLE SPORT PERSECTIVE...IS NOT DESIGNED TO BE RELIABLE OR FAIR. IF THE CONDITION COULD BE REGULATED PRECISELY... IT MIGHT MAKE INTO THE OLYMPICS. BUT THE ENTIRE GAME IN HOW IT IS RUN.. IS BIAS AND SKEWED TOWARDS ONLY A SMALL % OF PEOPLE WHO HAVE EXPENDABLE INCOME TO ENDLESSLY WASTE, PLAYERS WHO HAVE ACCESS TO TRAINING REGULAR PLAYERS DO NOT, AND BRANDS THAT THE PBA CAN MARKET. BOWLING IS A DYING SPORT... AND THE CONSTANT CHANGE IN PATTERNS TO CREATE ERRATIC CONDITIONS AT BEST... DETERS SKILLFUL BOWLERS FROM EVEN TRYING THEIR HAND AT PBA GREATNESS... BECAUSE OF THE UNFAIR AND UNLEVEL PLAYING FIELD. PEOPLE WHO ARE NOT GIFTED UNCANNY ACCESS TO PRIVATE PRACTICES, LESSONS, PATTERN ACCESS AND MORE...JUST END UP DONATINGTO TOM SHANNON AND THE PRIZE POOL. WHICH IS WHY YOU HARDLY EVER SEE NEW BOWLERS... THE SPORT IS BASED ON RUGGED INDIVIDUALISM RATHER THAN INCLUSIVITY THROUGH PROPER SPORT MANAGEMENT. THERE IS NO PIPELINE FOR THE YOUTH TO PROGRESS THROUGH THE SPORT THAT DOESNT REQUIRE 10'S OF THOUSANDS OF $, PARENTS CANT AFFORD THE PRICE GOUGING EQUIPMENT COSTS THAT BOWLING MANUFACTURERS PUSH ONTO THESE BOWLERS... YOU KNOW THE REAL PRICE OF BOWLING BALLS... WHEN YOU ARE ON STAFF AND YOU PAY 80 FOR A BALL.. THEN PTHAT SAME BALL COSTS CUSTOMERS $200-$230 AND THATS NOT INCLUDING DRILLING/GRIPS AND THUMB SYSTEMS. THIS SPORT IS DYING BECAUSE THE TOP BRANDS ARE SQUEEZING WHAT LITTLE THE WORKING CLASS HAS FOR INCOME, WHILE THE PBA SQUEEZES THEM FOR FEES AND TRAVEL EXPENSES. JUST IMAGINE ALL THE AMAZING BOWLERS WE DIDNT SEE... BECAUSE THEY WERE PRICED OUT OF GREATNESS IN FAVOR OF SOME SILVER SPOON IN MOUTH BOWLER?! YOU CANT RUN A SPORT LIKE A FAST FOOD RESTAURANT... AND THAT IS EXACTLY WHAT BOWLING HAS BECOME... A PRICE GOUGING WEALTH TRANSFER MECHANISM FOR THE TOP 1%ERS OF THIS WORLD.

[@andrewphillips2179]

The Pba/Pba50/Jonesboro Trios is an awesome event on the Pba, Pba50, and Pwba Tours.

[@DaveBais]

Rash needs his personal shotclock. Irritates the shit out of me. For years already.

[@cindyh8822]

Why is it MOST of the women bowlers look like linebackers? Not that some of the men are in top shape, That is why most people DO NOT consider this a sport.

[@cruise2023]

Come on they call themselves athletes 🤔 Funny thing is Clemmer out bowled everybody else !

[@NathanMoist]

"It's kind of intimidating to be in the same room as so many great athletes" Ishmael Borg in Kingpin. Then the camera turns to Clemmer.

[@Wrrtgyuuuuii]

중약지가 9시위치에서 중약지를 바닥과 직각상태로 해놓고 로테이션 해서 중약지를 11시방향으로 샷 츠

[@Zurround]

What the hell? This match is supposed to be 50 and over and those female players are well under 50. And Francois Lavae (I know I can't spell his name but we know who it is) is like 25 or something. I thought his was a "senior" match?

[@davigorb]

It says all three tours in the title of this video

[@cindyh8822]

I agree with surround. Where are the women bowlers that are over 50? Your not helping your viewership at all if your not going to keep product pure. A lot of seniors that are unable to bowl due to a physical issues look forward to watching this as well as younger generation. Are there any bowlers on the 50 that are under that age? I think not. And just how old is Frankie?

[@s0meguy809]

This isn't a senior match. Its a combo match with 1 pba player, 1 pwba player and 1 pba50 player on the same team.

[@AverageLeagueHack]

This was never a senior event. Pba, PBA 50 and pwba are three separate associations the format was to assemble one from each association into teams after individual qualifying.

[@kevinrussell5099]

@cindyh8822. No senior women because there isn't a senior women tour any more, for some reason. I haven't seen a senior women's event since before Covid.

[@scrobag1]

Pba does need more of this format and in a center that can have a few hundred people watch. not 10;

[@chaos0852]

You can have it at a bigger house, however only ten will show up. I watched the entire PBA 50 World Series of Bowling in person, plenty of room, very small attendance. There is no cost to attend, people are busy in the summer so low attendance
