The road to Battle Bowl XVII has been paved with unforgettable performances, heartbreaking upsets, and season-defining victories. Now, only the Sweet 16 remain—and it’s your turn to prove you know who will survive the journey to lift the Wilder Cup.
Beginning August 1 and closing at 11:59 PM on August 5, UBA members can submit their official Predict & Prosperbracket for a chance to win one of three Storm bowling balls.
This isn’t just about picking the champion—it’s about predicting the entire path.
Select the winner of every matchup from the Sweet 16 all the way through the Wilder Cup Championship. The deeper your correct picks advance, the more points you’ll earn.
Sweet 16: 5 points for each correct pick
Elite 8: 10 points for each correct pick
Final 4: 20 points for each correct pick
Wilder Cup Champion: 50 points
Every game matters, and one unexpected upset could be the difference between winning and watching from the sidelines.
If two or more participants finish with the same point total, the winner will be determined by the closest prediction of the combined total pinfall scored by both franchises in the Wilder Cup Championship match.
