The fourth annual BOLA was held on November 1 and November 2, 2008 in Burbank, CA. The tournament was set to follow the 24 man format of the previous two and take place on the weekend of August but PWG management was unable to book the talent they wished to for the event and decided to move the event and drop the entrants down to 16. On October 16th PWG announced that 17 participants will be in the tournament, this occurred because the two PWG commissioners couldn't come to a conclusion on who would be the final entrant, which will lead to one first round match being a three way dance.
