Wondering why they stopped doing the top 8 format, gave us more bowlers to watch. For those who aren't sure about what I'm talking about, here's the format.

Game one, 6th 7th and 8th place bowl each other, winner advances.
Game two, 4th 5th and winner of game one bowl each other, winner advances.
Game three, 2nd 3rd and winner of game two bowl each other, winner advances to championship round.
Game four (championship), top seed and winner of game three go head to head.

It's interesting to watch, plus I get to see more bowlers than the usual 4-5 that I do on shows from 2001 till today.

I never noticed that but I do watch everything Bowling that ESPN has to offer.
I do like the newer stuff tho because of the up grade from polly balls.

But yeah If we could see the Climb to the top or TV as it were, Then we would have a lot more excitement :)
