    As the top qualifier in the Don Carter Division, England's Stuart Williams has selected the Viper pattern for the 10:30 a.m. PT finals. His opponents will be Osku Palermaa, Dom Barrett and Jack Jurek.

    For the 12:30 p.m. group, Billy Hardwick Division top qualifier Tom Smallwood has selected the Scorpion pattern. Smallwood's group includes Ildemaro Ruiz, Andres Gomez and Ryan Shafer.

    As the overall qualifying leader, Sean Rash of Montgomery, Ill., has also selected the Scorpion pattern for the Johnny Petraglia Division finals at 3:30 p.m. Rash's opponents will be Pete Weber, Ryan Ciminelli and Nathan Bohr.

    The Mike Aulby Division final will be contested on the Shark pattern at 5:30 p.m., selected by top qualifier Jason Belmonte. His group includes Brian Kretzer, Josh Blanchard and Mike Fagan.

    The winner of each division final will advance to the PBA World Championship finals at 8:30 p.m. The highest seeded player in that field will select the lane conditioning pattern for the final round.

    All of the television shows are open to the public at no cost. The World Series television production schedule includes the men's and women's World Bowling Tour Finals presented by the PBA on Thursday at 5:30 p.m. PT. Friday's schedule includes the Bayer Viper Open finals at 1 p.m., Chameleon Open finals at 3 p.m., Scorpion Open finals at 6 p.m. and GEICO Shark Open finals at 8 p.m.
