The Professional Women's Bowling Association Tour season will come to an end this week when 16 of the tour's top players compete in The Smithfield PWBA Tour Championship promoted by GoBowling.com.
PWBA Tour points leader and three-time champion this season Liz Johnson (pictured left) of Cheektowaga, New York, and Stefanie Johnson (right) of Grand Prairie, Texas, are automatically seeded into the live finals on Sunday at 1 p.m. Eastern on CBS Sports Network.

The remainder of the field, made up of PWBA Tour champions this season and filled out by the points list, will compete in best-of-five matches throughout the day Friday to determine who will join them in the semifinals.
The opening round of match play will feature:
Kelly Kulick and Diana Zavjalova, who are currently ranked third and fourth on the points list, earned a one-round bye and will join the bracket in Round 2.
Friday's best-of-five matches will take place two at a time with every match broadcast live on Xtra Frame.
