Bowling News USA - June 15, 2009 GEICO PBA Team Shootout Set to Air This Sunday

The 2009 Geico PBA Team Shootout Hosted By Six Flags took place at Six Flags Great America in Jackson, New Jersey over the weekend, with the action to begin airing this Sunday, June 21 at 1pm ET on ESPN.

The event featured 18 PBA players (divided into three teams…see list below for participants), competing in round-robin, Baker-style match play with a total of 12 matches contested. Each team bowled four matches against the other two teams, with each match contested on a different oil pattern. FOR MORE BEHIND-THE-SCENES INFO ON SATURDAY’S ACTION, CLICK HERE.

After the 12 matches were completed, the top two teams (based on match play record) advanced to the championship match, which consisted of one singles match, one doubles match and one Baker-style match. The singles and doubles matches were each worth one point, while the Baker match was worth two points. During the round robin matches, the “endless” tenth frame scoring system was in place, where each additional strike after the fill ball added 10 bonus pins to the team’s final score.

The matches will air on ESPN over the next four weeks. Below are the air dates for the telecasts, as well as the list of competitors and team breakdown:
