PRODIGY BOWLERS TOUR -- 11-04-2017 "The Seventh Frame Sweat"

With many of the PRODIGY regulars like Logan F., Charlie, Brandon and others out of town with their Georgia All-Stars team, bowling a tournament in Myrtle Beach, this week's PRODIGY BOWLERS TOUR episode features some new faces you haven't seen before on the show. But the action is no less thrilling.

Not only do we feature a whole different type of stepladder competition featuring 7 players, but we throw a wrench in the works with a slight "twist" to the format. You see, with baseball's World Series just ending this week (congrats to the Astros), we take some inspiration from America's national pastime and it's traditional "seventh inning stretch." But in our case, we call it "The Seventh Frame Sweat," and it's not intended to give anyone a moment to relax. Quite the opposite. You see, each player's first ball in the 7th frame of each match determines whether or not they'll get to continue. It's like a Single Ball Elimination in the 7th frame of each match, with the player getting the low pinfall on the first ball in the 7th frame being eliminated from the match immediately. Except if two tie for low pinfall, all tie, and everyone gets to complete the match. So it's not a given that anyone will be eliminated. This little wrinkle adds a critical pressure point in the match where players must perform, or they're done for the day. And you know how I love putting these players in pressure situations.

USBC Silver Coach Randy Brown is the Executive Producer of PRODIGY BOWLERS TOUR and has the play-by-play call. This episode of PRODIGY was recorded on Saturday, November 4th, 2017 at Brunswick Zone Roswell in Roswell, Georgia.

As always, your comments are welcome and encouraged. But please, keep your remarks positive about the players. If you have a criticism, keep it constructive. Comments posted that are mean-spirited, derogatory, insulting or demaning toward our junior bowlers will be promptly removed and the commenter may be banned from commenting again on this channel. But if your comment is constructive and helpful, of course it's welcome. Remember, the mission of PRODIGY BOWLERS TOUR is to Celebrate Junior Bowling while we Elevate Junior Bowlers. Keep your comments in that spirit and we'll have no problems.

PROGRAM NOTE: Next Saturday (11/11), we'll be recording our final "full field" event prior to Thanksgiving. Then on 11/18, the PRODIGY event we record will be open only to kids who bowl league at Brunswick Zone Roswell. That'll be our annual Thanksgiving Turkey Shootout. The following week -- Thanksgiving weekend -- we will be OFF. There will be no league bowling on Thanksgiving weekend, and hence, there will be no PRODIGY episode recorded on Thanksgiving weekend. We'll all be laying on our couches watching football and polishing off the last of our holiday feast. The next date for PRODIGY taping after Thanksgiving will be on Saturday, December 2nd at Brunswick Zone Roswell. We usually start at around 12:30. So if you're coming from another bowling center, it's best to get in touch with Coach Randy and let him know you're on the way.
