What You Missed and Must Read Highlights

If you didn't catch the Barstool Bowlero Invitational this summer, don’t worry, we have you covered! This epic event was created to let bowlers of all skill levels play and unlock insane prizes. At the end of the participation window, a sweepstakes winner was chosen and flown out to Chicago to participate in the Invitational Finale! During this Finale, top Barstool talent, along with our sweepstakes winner went head-to-head in a bracket-style competition where one person was named the ultimate WINNER! Missed all the action? Take a look back at our top must-see moments from the Invitational Finale! 

1. The Barstool Bowlero Invitational Finale was held outside of Chicago at Bowlero Buffalo Grove. This spectacular center is home to 32 state-of-the-art bowling lanes and was the perfect host center for the coveted, one-of-a-kind event.

2. The Barstool Bowlero Invitational Finale featured a 16-person bracket-style tournament, which included 15 well-known and loved Barstool personalities like Big Cat, Carl, Hank, and more! 

3. Ben Mintz is back with the Barstool crew and up to his same shenanigans. Mintzy, unfortunately, got his shoes stuck in the Bowlero giant claw machine. Spoiler alert…he never got his shoes back. Guess he needs to work on his gaming skills.

4. Sydnie Wells knocks out White Sox Dave in a nail-biter of a game. Wells needed six pins to tie and seven pins to win. With one final throw down the perfectly oiled lane, the 10-pound ball soared toward victory, knocking down seven pins. Wells advanced to the semi final beating out WSD (89 - 87).

5. 10-time PBA Tour winner and PBA Tour pro, Kyle Troup made a special guest appearance at the Invitational Finale. Troup offered great advice and commentary with the Barstool team and even bowled a few frames, showing his true professional status. 

6. Barstool announced their special partnership with Bowlero to bring Pardon My Cheese Steak to the lanes. Launching this fall, select Bowlero centers will be offering the delicious and cheesy sandwich. 

7. At the end of the nail-biting finale, Carl took home the win against Big Cat. The two battled it out as live stream viewers and the entire Barstool crew watched with bated breath to see who would end up victorious. Carl pulled ahead winning the Barstool Invitational (151 - 146).
