The finals will take place at 8 p.m. today live from Thunderbowl Lanes on FS1 for U.S. audiences and on FloBowling for international audiences. Each player survived two rounds of best-of-five matches Tuesday to advance to the show.

Moore upset top seed Jason Belmonte in the Round of 16 with a 3-0 sweep and then defeated Thomas Larsen, 3-1, to earn a spot on the show.
