The match-play field will return Friday for two final six-game rounds of matches live on FloBowling to determine the event’s champions in the varsity division. The players in each division with the highest total after 42 games are crowned champions.

Julian Michael Salinas posted a 3-3 record had as a total of 6,445 as he moved from fourth to second after the first round of matches. Nick Larsen put up one of the best records of the day at 5-1 to move into third with 6,346.

The Teen Masters only allows bowlers to use a urethane non-flare bowling ball named the PBA Skills 3.02. The patterns are also much different than those used in today’s bowling with the long pattern (42 feet) and short pattern (32 feet) both having just under seven milliliters of oil. By comparison, PBA patterns have between 25 and 35 mL of oil.
