Six Flags to Host 15 PBA Stars for Summer Series III

New Jersey Theme Park to Host Outdoor Bowling Competition in June



SEATTLE, Wash. (February 27, 2009) – Fifteen of the Lumber Liquidators PBA Tour’s top competitors from the 2008-09 season will test their skills at “outdoor bowling” for the third year in a row when Six Flags in Jackson, N.J., hosts the Six Flags Summer Series III June 11-14.



The annual event will involve three five-player teams in a unique round-robin competition contested on lanes built in Six Flags’ New Jersey Park. ESPN will air the competition on a tape-delayed basis. Dates and times will be announced later.



Wes Malott of Pflugerville, Texas, is the only player qualified thus far, based upon his points victory in the six-tournament Versatility Swing that ended in Medford, Ore., in January. That series included tournaments conducted on six different PBA lane conditions.



Eight more players will be determined at the conclusion of the Extreme Swing, which ends with the GoRVing Match Play Championship in Norwich, Conn., on March 22. The top eight based on points earned in the Ultimate Scoring Championship, GEICO Plastic Ball Championship, Etonic Marathon Championship, Buckeye State Eliminator and the GoRVing event will also earn berths.



Four additional spots in the Summer Series will be awarded to the Grand Slam points leaders. Those events are the PBA World Championship, H&R Block Tournament of Champions, USBC Masters and Lumber Liquidators U.S. Open.



If a player qualifies in more than one category, the next highest in points from the Grand Slam series will be selected. Malott, who already owns a spot, will not be considered in either pending points race. Any ties will be decided based upon the PBA’s end-of-season points rankings.



The final two berths will be wild card selections.
