Glenfair Results - 4/26/15

This weekend we were at Glenfair lanes for one of our 1 day events, that have become very successful. This event seemed to be event fot he 1st timers! We had a lot of success from bowlers bowling in their very first tournament this Sunday! The event this weekend drew 77 entries (55 qualifying & 22 economy parlay), had 20 cashers, a 1 in 4 cash ratio and paid out nearly $4,000.00 in maind and side event prizefunds. The event, like many of the one day events had a large enough turn out to increase the prizefund from the advertised guarantees. First was increased from $600 to $700, 2nd from $300 to $500, 3rd from $200 to $400, divisional runner ups got $170 instead of $160 and low to cash in the quarters was increased from $80 to $95. We really weren't sure how the turn outs were going to be for our one day events, especially with having events every single weekend.

Golden Pin Lanes Results - 9/20/15

We had our event this Sunday at Golden Pin lanes in Tucson, AZ. We were very happy to be back in Tucson as we have consistently tried to get more and more bowlers in Tucson to come out to our annual events there in their area. The turn out was much better then our last one there. It drew 43 total entries (31 qualifying entires and 12 economy parlay) had 13 cashers, and paid out over $2,000.00.

The bowlers competed on the 36ft Bejing oil pattern which yielded incredibly high scores in the A division but, not as high in the other divisions. This is a common theme with short oil patterns, as the higher averaged bowler is familiar with and more comfortable playing the far outside part of the lane. It is always interesting seeing how different kinds of patterns yielded higher cut scores in certain divisions.

Camp Verde Results - 5/3/15

Our events at Cliff Castle Casino were a bunch of fun as expected! The main event drew 44 entries, had 12 cashers had a 1 in 3.6 cash ratio and paid out over $2,000.00 in main and side event prize fund. Our criss cross doubles event drew 13 teams which was smaller than usual, but was expected due to conflicting with the Manny/Mayweather fight. We want to thank all of our great members that made the drive to support the event and we look forward to our next out of town event.

Brunswick Via Linda Results - 10/4/15

Our event this Sunday was at Brunswick Via Linda lanes and was bowled on the 36ft Phase 1 oil pattern. It was a great day for bowling with the rain, and the turn out showed it. There was 59 total entries (45 qualifying entries & 14 economy parlay entries), 16 cashers a 1 in 4.3 cash ratio and paid out over $3,000.00. The players played the Phase 1 oil pattern in a variety of ways. Phase 1 has always played a little different then the other short patterns that we bowl on. No matter which center we have used this pattern at, the middle of the lane has been more playable then other short patterns like cheetah, boardwalk, or wolf.

Brunswick Mesa Results - 1/4/15

Well, every time we start a new season, it is always exciting. It is exciting to see if the clubs changes and additions from the previous season’s meeting make a difference. The main goal of our meeting in 2014 was to try to grow our A division in 2015. We wanted to get some new bowlers that weren’t eligible before and also restructure the division so that the A division and B division were closer in total entries.

Via Linda Results - 5/9/15

We had our very first minor event on a Saturday at Brunswick Via Linda lanes. It was surprisingly a great turnout! We expected a lot of people to be working and/or have other obligations, but the turnout was still pretty good. The event drew 61 entries (40 qualifying entries & 21 economy parlay), had 13 cashers, a 1 in 4.6 cash ratio and paid out nearly $3,000.00 in main and side event prize fund! We are super excited to be able to generate these kinds of turn outs and pay outs on a weekly basis whether the event is on Saturday or Sunday. This event had a lot of other first also….

AMF Deer Valley Results - 10/11/15

This event had a lighter turnout which meant that the players would have a pretty good chance at winning the $1,000.00 first place prize. The event had 45 entries (31 qualifying entries and 14 economy parlay), 13 cashers, a 1 in 3.4 cash ratio and paid out over $2,000.00 in main and side event prizes. The players ended up bowling on a 45ft pattern that played harder than the players expected. While there were a few players that scores out of the roof, the scoring was on the higher side, but not as high as anticipated. It was also a good thing, as players of all skill levels were able to succeed on the pattern as it was playable from all angles. 

AMF Deer Valley Results - 1/11/15

This weekend’s event at AMF Deer Valley was our very first Minor ever. We were excited to add this new format to our schedule in 2015 to create a lot more tournaments for the club members to bowl. The minors are one day events with only 3 squads that still have great payouts and all of the same features and formats that you have come to love! For our first ever one day event, it was a huge success! We had 73 total entries with 47 qualifying entries and 26 economy parlay entries. While we guaranteed 1st - $600, 2nd - $300 and 3rd - $200 regardless of entries, we still encouraged a strong turnout for the potential of an increased payout from the advertised guarantees.  Sure enough, the turnout was fantastic and we were able to increase the payouts for 2nd and 3rd $100 each! After one minor event we are excited about having more of these events coming up, including next Sunday, January 18th at Glenfair Lanes!

AMF Deer Valley Results - 5/25/15

The majors are always exciting! Our biggest payouts, turnouts and most anticipated events of the entire season. We currently have two majors each year, one on Memorial Day and one on Labor Day. This event was an awesome one! We had 168 entries (126 qualifying entries & 42 economy parlay entries), 44 cashers, a 1 in 3.8 cash ratio and paid out over $10,000.00 in main and side event prizefund. The pattern we used was the 42ft Stars and Stripes oil pattern that we designed specifically for this event. The pattern proved to be one of the higher scoring patterns we have ever used for any of our major events. The cut scores all weekend were typically around +110 to +130. Since the handicap system is based on 90% of 225, this means most people making the cut were bowling about 20 pins over average per game. It definitely appeared that the players that were comfortable hooking it a little bit more matched up a little bit better this weekend.

Brunswick Kyrene Results - 10/25/15

Our event this Sunday was at Brunswick Kyrene lanes on the very difficult 40ft Bear oil pattern. As expected the scoring was very low, with players easily making the cut if they bowled their average. Most players that did well were players that didn't belly the ball a whole lot. Most of the players that did well were the players that were good spare shooters compared to the other players in their division.

As always we like to congratulate our parlay power players, which at this event were Ted McKay and Dylan Taylor. Also congrats to Chase Nesvig who made it to this first ever SFT AHT quarter finals at this event. Also, Mike Hodge made his very first title match where he had a pretty good showing to almost win his first title.

The quarter finals had Dylan Taylor coming out of the A division. Ben Spencer beating Ted McKay by a very narrow margin to be the B division champion, and Mike Hodge defeating everyone in the C division.
