PBA Tiers: Where and How to Play Daily Fantasy Bowling

Although it looks like 2024 won't be the season that your favorite DFS website will add the PBA to their portfolio, there are still ways to play with your friends if you're willing to put in a little work. At RotoWire, we want to provide you with some support to make that happen. We'll even do all the work for the first tournament!

Splash Sports offers a fun Tiers contest for the NFL, NBA and PGA that is easy to replicate with any sport, and that's the format we'll be using.

Follow @RotowireBowling on X then read the rules below and play along with us for this week's PBA Players Championship by sending your selections to social@rotowire.com by Wednesday, January 10th at 10:00 am CT. The winner will earn a free 3-month All-Sport with DFS subscription to RotoWire.

PBA Tiers Contest Rules

Simply select one bowler from each of the seven tiers. Tier groupings are based on odds to win from BetRivers Sportsbook. Each player accumulates points based on their position in the final standings of the tournament. The highest score at the end of the contest wins.

Ties will be broken based on the higher finisher in Tier 7. For example, if two entrants are tied in the final contest standings and one selected Ronnie Russell and the other selected Frank Snodgrass, then the winner will be determined based on who finished higher in the tournament – Russell or Snodgrass. If there is still a tie, it will be broken based on the higher finisher in Tier 6 and so on.
