By Matt Stevens
Team Australia chasing more medals as the Teams event reaches its finale in Reno
Following a memorable day where Team Australia added four medals to the tally in Singles and Doubles, attention now turns to the grand conclusion of the Teams event – the final stop before the Masters.
Day 4 Focus: Teams Event
The opening half of the Teams event is complete, with each squad having rolled three of their six games. Today, bowlers return to the lanes for the remaining three games, aiming to secure a coveted top-four finish and a place in the medal rounds.
After the second block, the top four teams in each division will advance to the semi-finals – where the format switches to a Baker’s best-of-three series (1v4, 2v3).
Winners move straight into the gold medal match, with medals to be decided later today.
