« Special “Clash” events kick off PBA50 Johnny Petraglia Open

The Smithfield PWBA Tour Championship brings together the top 16 competitors from the 2016 PWBA Tour season. All 2016 PWBA Tour champions (must be a member at the time of the victory) will receive an automatic invitation with the remainder of the 16-player field to be filled through the PWBA points list.
Smithfield, a major PWBA Tour sponsor, is headquartered in nearby Smithfield, Virginia, and the opportunity to have the pinnacle event of the PWBA season nearby was a perfect fit.
“We appreciate Smithfield’s support of the PWBA Tour for the last two seasons and for their overall support of the sport,” Bowling Proprietors’ Association of America Executive Director Frank DeSocio said. “We are excited to be able to have the Smithfield PWBA Tour Championships take place in their backyard and expect another great TV show.”
Last year, Danielle McEwan (pictured above) of Stony Point, New York, picked up her first professional victory when she captured the 2015 Smithfield PWBA Tour Championship title with a 233-205 victory over Stefanie Johnson of Grand Prairie, Texas.
The event also finalized the PWBA Player of the Year race with Liz Johnson (left) of Cheektowaga, New York, topping Stefanie Johnson for the honor. Stefanie Johnson (right) claimed PWBA Rookie of the Year.
For the 2016 Smithfield PWBA Tour Championship, the top two players in PWBA Tour points are seeded into the semifinals. The remainder of the field will compete in best-of-five matches to determine the other two semifinalists.
The match-play rounds will be broadcast live on Xtra Frame, the exclusive online bowling channel for the Professional Bowlers Association and PWBA Tour. Go to XtraFrame.TV for more information.
The PWBA Tour is collaboratively funded by the Bowling Proprietors’ Association of America and United States Bowling Congress. Click here for more information about the PWBA Tour.
