There were six bowlers, four of which were major tournament winners, and then two fan favorites. The bowlers were Walter Ray Williams Jr., Mike Scroggins, Chris Barnes, Pete Weber, Norm Duke, and Tommy Jones.

2. Who was the first eliminated in the single shot rolloff?

Answer: Pete Weber

In the first shot for the six bowlers, Norm Duke, Walter Ray Williams, Jr., Mike Scroggins, and Chris Barnes each hit a strike. Tommy Jones missed one pin for a nine-count, and Weber only had an eight-count, sending him to the elimination round.

3. Which two bowlers earned the byes in the event?

4. What was the top attainable score in the elimination matches leading up to the final?

Answer: 180

As each game was only six frames, the top attainable score is 30 times that, or 180.
It was not a USBC sanctioned tournament and, as Motel 6 was the sponsor,the quarter-finals and semi-finals were six-frame matches for a maximum score of 180. The finals was a "race to six strikes" so could go as many "frames" as needed.

5. Did Norm Duke win his match against Tommy Jones?

Norm Duke needed a strike, and at least nine-spare in the sixth frame. He hit the strike, then left a 4-6-7 split, costing him the match. Jones won 158-156.

Walter Ray Williams Jr. defeated Pete Weber for the fifth time in his career (5-0) in this event, with a score of 149-138.

Answer: 12
