Our event this weekend was at AMF Tempe Village and we had a great turnout with 122 entries (81 qualifying and 41 economy parlays).  We had 34 cashers, a 1 in 3.58 cash ratio and paid out over $8,400.00 in main and side event prize funds.  The players bowled on the 45ft PBA Dragon oil pattern that played tough early on in the day, but scores would increase as the pattern broke down.  Bowlers were able to play a variety of angles on the pattern as long as they were able to get their ball to read the lane and not overhook.  The cut scores stayed around +70 for most of the day, which meant that you had to bowl about 15 pins over your average per game to qualify.

We kicked off the 2021 season with our first event this weekend at Bowlero Kyrene and we had a great turnout with 135 entries (97 qualifying and 38 economy parlays).  We had 33 cashers, a 1 in 4.09 cash ratio and paid out over $7,725.00 in main and side event prize funds.  The players bowled on the 41ft PBA Bear oil pattern that played pretty tricky for most of the day.  There were some higher scores, but bowlers were able to play a variety of angles on the pattern.  The cut scores stayed above +60 for most of the day, which meant that you had to bowl about 15-20 pins over your average per game to qualify.

Our event this weekend was at Bowlero Kyrene and we had a great turnout with 127 entries (85 qualifying and 42 economy parlays).  We had 31 cashers, a 1 in 3.96 cash ratio and paid out over $7,000.00 in main and side event prize funds.  The players bowled on the 42ft PBA Scorpion oil pattern that played pretty tough for most of the day.  There were some higher scores but bowlers were able to play a variety of angles on the pattern.  The cut scores stayed around +60 for most of the day, which meant that you had to bowl about 10-15 pins over your average per game to qualify.

This weekend’s event was at Bowlero Via Linda for a 2 squad event and had a great turnout with all the other tournaments going on in the Valley this weekend.  The event drew 89 total entries (57 qualifying and 32 economy parlay), had 28 cashers, a 1 in 3.2 cash ratio and paid out over $5,300.00 in main and side event prize funds. The players bowled on a 37ft Melbourne oil pattern that was higher scoring on the fresh pattern, but got a lot tighter as the day went on.  We haven’t bowled on this pattern before, but the key was to get your ball into a roll and play a little straighter along the track.  Those that could do that were able to take advantage of the pattern.  We would see Dylan Taylor shoot an impressive 299 game, just coming up a bit short of 300, but great bowling Dylan!!   The average cut scores for the weekend were medium with bowlers just needing to get their average for all three games to make the cut.
