Draft Your Roster
Build your team from 67 real PBA Tour professionals.
Salary Cap Draft
- Each bowler has a fantasy cost based on their tier (S, A, B, C, D)
- Stay within your salary cap budget
- Balance star power with value picks
- S-tier pros like Jason Belmonte cost more but score higher
- D-tier sleepers are cheap and can surprise
Set Your Lineup
Before each PBA event, assign roles to your bowlers for maximum points.
Lineup Roles
- Ace — 1.3× score multiplier (your best performer)
- Anchor — 1.15× multiplier (reliable second pick)
- Core — 1.0× standard scoring
- Captain — 2× bonus multiplier (stacks with role!)
- Bench — Inactive, doesn't score this event
If you forget to set a lineup, the system auto-generates one based on bowler averages.
Watch & Win
After each PBA tournament, real scores are automatically applied to your fantasy team across all active scoring modes.
How Scoring Works
- Each event is scored across up to 10 different modes simultaneously
- Teams are ranked per mode — 1st place gets N points, 2nd gets N-1, etc.
- All placement points are summed to create your Overall Score
- The Overall Leaderboard determines the league champion
- Live PBA scores update automatically — no manual entry needed
