  Daffy: Well, I'm waiting.
  Bugs: For what?

Trivia

• The music playing during the tournament montage is a parody of the Frank Stallone song "Far From Over" from the 1983 movie, "Staying Alive", using much of the music only slightly altered with new bowling themed lyrics.
• The title is a parody of the famous Shakespeare quote "To Be or Not to Be?"

Goofs

• When Daffy bowls, his points come up under Marvin's score board.
• Even though three letters of each name are only allowed to be placed on the bowling screen, as shown in the beginning, later on all of the team members' names are spelled out completely, but this could be because they weren't doing a tournament.
