After its successful run on ABC, PBA telecasts moved to CBS, with commentators Gary Seidel and Marshall Holman providing the commentary. Also new were the gold pins used for the telecast. The gold pins were a few ounces heavier than normal bowling pins, with the supposed effect of keeping scores low and matches competitive. The telecasts lasted an hour long, with a three-man preliminary match between the #2, #3, and #4 seeds with the best score meeting the #1 seed in the final.
In the final of the 1998 Brunswick Johnny Petraglia Open, top seed Tim Criss (with a different hairstyle...hmm...) met Brian Voss. It's a great match. Part 2 of 2.
@DaveBais not really i mean here yeah but check out 1997 telecasts! Lanes were really dry on most telecasts! Very hard to keep the ball on line!

No they weren't. They were used in telecasts in 1999 and in 2000.
