This week, we dust off a very old PBA format -- one they haven't used in decades -- to bring you the first-ever PRODIGY BOWLERS TOUR "BEST BALL DOUBLES CHAMPIONSHIP." The kids went through a qualifying round of two games and the doubles teams were paired up based on where the finished in the qualifier -- 1&2, 3&4, 5&6, 7&8, 9&10. Here's how the format works. Each frame begins on the left lane, and the partners take turns going first each frame. Which basically means that one player will lead off on the left in the odd numbered frames, while the other partner will lead off on the left lane in the even numbered frames. The first partner throws his first ball on the left lane. If he strikes, the team registers a strike in the frame and there is no need for the other partner to throw a shot. If the first player fails to strike on the left lane, then the second partner then will try to throw a strike on the right lane. If he does, the team registers a strike in the frame and their frame is over. If neither player strikes on their first ball, then the team has a decision to make. They may choose ONE of the two remaining spared to shoot. If the spare they choose to shoot is standing on the left lane, then the player who bowled his first ball on the right lane would shoot at it. If the spare they choose to shoot is standing on the right lane, then the player who bowled his first ball on the left lane would shoot at it. Only one of the two remaining spares may be attempted.
The format was originally dreamed up by none other than PBA legend Don Carter, "Mr. Bowling" in the '50s and '60s. And we're only too happy to bring it back today.
Strap in. This is a fun one.
