Bragging Rights Champions
The “Bragging Rights” Competition
“Who’s the Best in Florida?”
For 23 years, the Sunshine Challenge has provided an exciting weekend of fun and competition, but the highlight of the tournament is always the “Bragging Rights” competition. Eight of the Florida TNBA Senates pit their best teams in each category–Classic Men, Classic Women, Senior Men and Senior Women–against one another for the privilege to be called the Bragging Rights Champion.
The highlight of the tournament is always the “Bragging Rights” competition. This is where you will see and hear more trash-talking than at any game you have attended. This is where the eight Senates in Florida put in their best teams in each category–Classic Men, Classic Women, Senior Men and Senior Women–to roll against each other and earn the right to BRAG that their Senate is the BEST in Florida.
Baker-style Competition
During the Baker-style competition, there’s always trash-talking between the members of the different Senates about who could strike, spare, or even pick up splits better than anyone else. The vibrant and competitive energy in the bowling center makes you feel like you’re at a Bowl football game. The bowlers represent their Senates by giving the crowd what they ask for: a show of all shows during the competition.
