Predict & Prosper is here, giving UBA members the opportunity to fill out their own Sweet 16 bracket, pick every winner from the opening round all the way to the Wilder Cup Champion, and rack up points to be one of three winners. Every correct prediction earns points, with each round becoming more valuable as the tournament progresses.
The competitor who finishes with the highest point total will earn bragging rights—and one of three brand-new Storm bowling balls awarded to the top three finishers.
Each UBA member may submit one bracket using their UBA ID number. This contest is 100% free and only available to UBA members. Once your prediction is submitted, it is final, so choose wisely. Every matchup matters as you attempt to predict which franchise will battle through the field and hoist the Wilder Cup.
If two or more competitors finish with the same point total, the winner will be determined by the closest prediction of the combined total pinfall for both franchises in the Wilder Cup Championship match.
Entries officially open August 1st, giving everyone the opportunity to lock in their predictions before the first ball is thrown. Keep an eye out for new articles headed your way as the Countdown to Battle Bowl XVII will include an opportunity to meet the Sweet 16.
Think you know who will dominate the bracket? Know who’s peaking at the right time? Believe you can see the upsets before they happen?
Now’s your chance to prove it.
Predict the path. Earn the points. Win the prizes.
Who will cut down the bracket and be crowned the 2026 Wilder Cup Champion? Fill out your bracket, make your picks, and let the games begin starting August 1st.
