Please take the static scoreboard off. Can't see the bottom of their approach!

[@Krranski]

Yea, O'Neill got a few messengers to carry some of his strikes, but Zavjalova arguably got more lucky with a few of her weak hits and strange pin action. O'Neill, among many others, play with that angle and power to get a greater percentage of messengers to carry the weak 10, if the 10 is left at all. Regardless, it was a good match.

[@mre4875]

I enjoyed the lack of commentary. It's overdone IMHO. When she missed the 10 pin I slumped in my chair because I knew it was over. That was a great game by both.

[@thegamingjedj]

Randy! Rob! We need ya boys!

[@LucaBrasi231]

Diana hold your head up you bowled an excellent game you was killing it. I really really enjoyed watching you I never heard of you before today but I am definitely going to find you and follow you on KZbinr wherever you might be no I'm not going to stalk you. You missed the hardest single pin spare there is and all professionals Miss tenpins from time to time so just shake it off you you're a phenomenal bowler . I was really rooting for you you have a new fan here.

[@jdizzlef83]

Isn't this a repeat from a few months ago?

[@motenai343]

Pourquoi rediffuser cette vidéo???

[@garla5851]

LOOK AT THAT CROWD SIZE, Must be at least 12 people, and half of them not even paying attention!😳 When do they Bowl these matches at 3:30 Am on Tuesday’s???

[@Azzule]

This is just a qualifying match

[@garla5851]

Raid Nation Ooohh okay got it ! 👌🏻 So the Title Match would probably have double the crowd size , probably 15-25 people. 😳👍🏻

[@Tcrror]

@@garla5851 The title match actually had at least 50 people. I'm assuming there were more.

[@garla5851]

Hay Knee O M G !! 🙀 BOWLING IS BACK !!! 👏🏻👏🏾👏🏽👏🏾👏🏼👏👏👏

[@ahampel22]

seriously - they don't advertise these things. If I would have known, I would have taken a day off work to go.

[@rogerporter5783]

Really need the scores to be posted during the game!

[@michaelson244]

Exactly

[@MsEeyore14]

Lol if you can’t figure out the scoring you should t be watching 😂

[@andrewphillips2179]

a couple of Messenger Strikes did help out Bill O'Neill

[@v2micca]

This is one (of many) differences between myself and professional bowler like Diana. On her first two shots with the stone tenpins, I would have just assumed I was unlucky. Both shots appeared to my untrained eye to be pretty flush in the pocket. But you can Diana calculating, both the lane transition and the pin action. She makes a move to different ball to adjust and immediately strikes on her next throw.

[@MsEeyore14]

She didn’t switch frame 3 that’s definitely the exact same ball lol

[@316SR]

Beauty vs the Beast

[@hamrick982]

Diana looks like she's running even when she's standing still.

[@MuchachoMilitaria]

Move the graphic, its intrusive.cant see the lower body....

[@robertduncan2742]

The lady is great and beautiful. Good luck you'll sure win, a perfect form.

[@ysccl]

Bill O'Neill throwing the GB3 B/B though, awesome!

[@hunterbashans3986]

This is literally depressing to watch, get the Specto, an actual audience, and commentators. I almost fell asleep watching this

[@GradyPhilpott]

If bowling itself is not enough to keep your interest, why are you even watching?

[@Cuda_Jr]

@@GradyPhilpott lol

[@kxasrk2035]

Hunter Bashans personally I like it better when it’s silent

[@jermyang]

Grady Philpott I think there are a lot of us with a very very very rudimentary understanding of bowling who would like to watch and know what’s going on. Commentators can give us some insight into that, without that it does just devolve into what a lot of laypeople believe bowling is: throwing balls at pins.

[@louiscsanko9322]

I do not agree( Diana is giving Bill a match and a half) i like this without the talking heads// like an oldschool action match*

[@curtisgarcia6907]

Poor Bowlero, they still haven't learned how to update the total score for each player at the end of each frame. Very amateurish.

[@MsEeyore14]

My god if you can’t do this basic bowling math you don’t deserve to watch this it’s extremely easy extremely go back to school folks cuz clearly you need it

[@warhawk3972]

Minuscule crowd and no commentary? Hardly an "elite series" if you ask me

[@warhawk3972]

Additionally, the scorecard says what happens, but doesnt actually tally the score, or project how many pins one bowler is ahead or behind.

[@warhawk3972]

This isnt a slight against either bowler, they bowled a really clean, close, entertaining game (I'm guessing) at least through the 8th frame, but the production team for the BES could have provided the viewer with a little more help to drive home the entertainment value of the match.

[@GradyPhilpott]

I agree about the scoreboard, as my math isn't quite so good as to be able to keep score in my head, but as far as commentary goes, it just isn't that important when watching bowling or any other sport in my judgement. Yeah, good commentary is a bonus, but I can watch any sport that I understand without someone else telling me what's going on.

[@MrZzstop]

These were just the non televised preliminary matches. The semi finals and finals on tv of course had the crowd and commentary. The prize money was big (hence “elite”). Much bigger than regular PBA events.

[@yusufabdulrahman4740]

didnt like pin sound not loud enough when they strike

[@mustangthings]

Yusuf Abdulrahman You’d think it would be louder given that it sounds like there’s maybe one other set of lanes in use in the entire alley. This is the only bowling video I’ve ever watched that I would describe as unsettling.

[@kevinscarborough9982]

For the people bitching about no commentary...do you hear commentary when you go to a sporting event? No you don't. Damn.

[@cybermadness99]

You dont need commentary at live events because of the atmosphere.

[@reilly5789]

THE REAL DEAL

[@stephens9772]

The no commentary really kills this for me, Both great bowlers that bowled well but really, they need to total the scores and give us some commentary.

[@kdh7544]

Calculated the score in my head as the game went along. The final was 259 to 213. But your right, it does need to show and some commentary.

[@FlatOutFE]

Complaining about free stuff again.

[@MsEeyore14]

Shouldn’t be watching if you can’t do this type of simple bowling scoring ffs people

[@nirkytime85]

I love diana lol

[@nordattack]

Poor Diana looks so sad sitting there watching Bill finish his 9th and 10th.

[@TheBowlerClinic]

I love the fact that I get to see the bowling but this is by far the most boring way it can be watched. On top of that having to figure out the scores as they go is more of a challenge than I am really looking for when I am trying to enjoy watching a game. Please find a way to post the scores and perhaps and some sort of commentary or at least music to make it more entertaining,

[@louiscsanko9322]

DIANNA HAS A SWEET ROLL// SHE NEEDS SOME BUTTER AND A COFFEE WITH THAT SWEET ROLL/ OUTSTANDING!!!!

[@ronswann1445]

did anyone else notice the pinky finger of her right hand is missing the nail and first joint???

[@Rick_Schott]

I think she just tucks her pinkie.

[@Icehawk_9]

She’s just tucking it, dude... many people do that.

[@ddtalk]

Not an Elite scoreboard!! You can't even put the scores in each frame! Come on! No play by play? Plus this is old! Way to reward the faithful!! I'm on disability! I can't afford your pricing! Geez!

[@Cuda_Jr]

i was waiting for icicles to start forming on Zavjalova.

[@donaldcarman9117]

Can't give a running score!

[@jg2977]

Ten pin bowling is too easy for them. They need to try candlepin.

[@nirkytime85]

This is the boss Ross level of excitement...so boring

Smile people FFS, you both look like you dont want to be there - I´ve seen happier people at a funeral

[@DJSt3rling]

8:26 *CRINGE* When Bill O'Neil inserts his finger tips before his thumb. lol

[@levi5036]

Dj St3rling that’s how you’re supposed to bowl ...

[@levi5036]

More control

[@DJSt3rling]

@@levi5036 doesn't change the release. Just a setup preference. Most ppl Just insert their thumbs first lol

Why isn’t the man giving the woman a handicap? Men bowl better than women
