Dream Team players enjoy the fantasy fun!

Fantasy bowling game in its third season

Check the Stats

USBC Youth members from across the country are playing the exclusive USBC Youth PBA Fantasy Bowling Team game! They've selected their PBA players and are tracking their successes during the 2006-07 Denny's PBA Tour season and comparing their teams' results with teams picked by their friends, fellow competitors and leaders in the bowling community. Whose team has the right stuff? Only time will tell! 

USBC will provide special recognition at the end of the game season for the USBC Youth member who has picked the game’s highest-scoring Dream Team!

Here’s how our Fantasy Bowling Team game works:

Last fall, viewers of USYouthBowler.com were able to choose four PBA bowlers for their teams and register them with us before the PBA season started. Here’s the catch – participants could only select one player from each of the four groupings below. That way, no one could stack their team with top performers and luck plays a bigger role.

The game started with the USBC Masters on Oct. 22-29 and ends with the Denny's World Championship on March 18-25. Each PBA player is awarded a point value after each Tour stop, so a Dream Team participant's score for each single event would be the total points earned at that event by all four of his or her PBA bowlers. 

At the conclusion of the season, the USBC Youth member(s) who registered the team with the most total points will be crowned the game’s Dream Team Champion(s) and receive a special commemorative award. 

The four player groupings are based on career earnings, career titles and last year’s status.
