Our event this weekend was at AMF Tempe Village and it was a pretty big turnout! We had a whopping 112 entries through 3 squads, which consisted of 70 qualifying entries and 42 economy parlay entries. This created a huge payout of over $5,100.00 in main and side event prize fund! The players bowled on a very tough 36ft Phase 1 oil pattern, which were bowled on new lanes that were installed at this house at beginning of the year, which forced most players to be able to make shots and convert their makeable spares.  It was very difficult to hook the ball on the fresh and bowlers had to adapt as each pair played differently.  Most of the players that did have success was after the pattern had broken down and you would see the scores increase as the day went on.  The final cut scores for the weekend were only around the +15 range which only requires bowling their average or just a slight bit above average for the 3-game set.

Our event this weekend was at Glenfair Lanes. We had a below average turn out with 67 total entries (45 qualifying and 22 economy parlay). The players bowled on a pretty low scoring 42ft Tokyo oil pattern that yeilded cut scores of around +20-+30, so the players had to bowl average to safely make the cut. There were styles that played more direct, but it seemed that more players had success more in the middle of the lane than the outside part of the lane. That is pretty common with the topography at Glenfair. The gutters tend to not play as well with more friction coming from the track area. 

Our event this weekend was at AMF McRay lanes and we had a HUGE turn out! In 3 squads we had 124 entries (51 parlay & 73 qualifying), 29 cashers, a 1 in 4.2 cash ratio and paid out over $5,000.00 in main and side event prize fund!  The players bowled on a 44ft London oil pattern that for the most part was pretty low scoring. There were a handful of players that really seemed to match up and bowl well on the longer oil pattern. The average cut scores were all around the +30 to +40 range which meant most players had to be close to their average or a few pins above it each game.

Our event this weekend was at Bowlero Kyrene and we had a great turnout!  We had 111 total entries (71 qualifying & 40 economy parlay), with 31 cashers, a 1 in 3.58 cash ratio and a payout of over $5,500.00 in main and side event prize funds. The players bowled on a very difficult 40ft PBA Bear oil pattern that had some of the lowest scores of the season. The pattern allowed players to play from any angle, but the key was trying to make high quality shots and then pick your spares.  There were quite a few people who thought that the scores would go up for the last squad as the lanes would have some more play on them by then. However, this didn’t happen at all, as the cut score stayed pretty much the same in all three divisions from squad 1 to squad 3.
