Fantasy bowling game now in its second season

Play the exclusive USBC Youth PBA Fantasy Bowling Team game! Select your PBA players, track their successes during the 2005-06 Denny’s PBA Tour and compare your team’s results with teams picked by your friends and fellow competitors. Will your team have the right stuff? Only time will tell!

USYouthBowler.com will provide special recognition at the end of the game season for the USBC Youth member who picks our game’s highest-scoring Dream Team!

Here’s how our Fantasy Bowling Team game works:

Pick four PBA bowlers for your team. Here’s the catch – you can only select one player from each of the four groupings below. That way, no one can stack their team with top performers and luck will play a bigger role.

After you have selected your team, check back with us here at USYouthBowler.com to see how your players performed during each week’s Denny’s PBA Tour stop. The game started with the PBA Tulsa Championship on Oct. 26 and ends with the PBA Great Lakes Classic on March 29. Each PBA player will be awarded a point value each week, so your weekly score is the total points earned by all four of your PBA bowlers.

Check back every week to see how many points your players add to your team’s game total.

Readers of our Fall 2005 edition of USYouthBowler.com were encouraged to register their teams with us before the start of the 2005-06 Denny’s PBA Tour. At the conclusion of our game 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. If you didn’t register your team in the fall, you can still play along through the rest of the season but are not eligible for the Dream Team Champion title.

Here are our four player groupings, which are based on career earnings, career titles and last year’s status. Remember, you may select only one player from each group. Although you can’t make changes to your team lineup once the game starts, if any of your players are sick, injured or otherwise prevented from playing during a particular week, you will be allowed to substitute the “Super Pro/Am” winner for the week – that person will be an amateur bowling against the pros.
