Glenfair Lanes Results - 1/18/15

We had another great weekend with a minor event at Glenfair lanes. The event drew 71 total entries with 42 qualifying entries and 29 economy parlay entries. We also had 20 cashers, a 1 in 3.5 cash ratio and a total payout of of over $5,000 in main and side event payouts.  We had another great turn out and positive response for our minor event format. We had more good signs regarding some of the changes that the members made to start this season. The divisions, once again, had a very balanced number of entries.  Also, some of the top amateurs came out again to compete in the A division. While, the newly eligible haven’t had any success yet, they very well could have in this event. One of the bowlers had a pain staking low game 3, and the other was not in the divisional insurance or they would have advanced.
 

AMF Christown Results - 5/31/15

Our event this weekend was at AMF Christown lanes and we had yet again another new winner! The players bowled on the 45ft Route 66 oil pattern, which yielded much lower scores than expected. Many of the players that had success were actually bowling below average, but were still doing better than the other competitors.
 
We also want to welcome Alexendria Dixson who bowled in her first event this weekend! Also congrats to Joe Mascio who was the only player that was a parlay power player and turned $25 into a quarter finals check.
 
Our semi-final matches were all fairly close with #1 seed James Senatore defeating #2 seed Ray Besignano 234 to 221 with both of them bowling in their first ever SFT AHT semi-final match. In the B division, #1 seed Ben Spencer was defeated by #2 seed Ron Gonzales 238 to 210. In the C division, # 1 seed Zac Bryan dominated throughout and continued his reign defeating Brian Cail 242 to 220.  
 

Brunswick Desert Sky Results - 11/1/2015

Our event this Sunday was at Brunswick Desert Sky lanes. We had a good turnout with 60 entries (41 qualifying and 19 economy parlay), 15 cashers, a 1 in 4 cash ratio and paid out nearly $3,000.00 in main and side event prizefund. The players bowled on a very difficult 39ft Viper oil pattern. The scores were very low with practially no one doing a lot of striking, and the key to doing well being spares and mental focus. Most of the players that did well were straigther players, who were mentally tough and good spare shooters.

We want to welcome Sean and Jeremy Warren to the SFT AHT family. We are always excited to have new members and humbled to know that we are still getting new members at every event. A special congrats to Jeremy Warrent who made it to his first ever SFT AHT quarter finals in his first event. He beat his dad Sean by only 4 pins the first squad but re-entered and bowled a huge set to advance to the quarter finals.

AMF McRay Results - 1/25/2015

Well, there were a lot of other tournaments going on today, plus the pro bowl. We really weren't expecting another great turn to our 3rd straight minor event. As always, the SFT AHT family surprised me! The event drew 73 total entries which consisted of 45 qualifying entries and 28 economy parlay entries. It had 18 cashers, a 1 in 3.8 cash ratio and paid out over $3,300.00 in main and side event prizes. It is clear that the members are really enjoying bowling every weekend. There were some concerns that it may be tough for some people to afford to bowl every weekend and if people would get burnt out on it. This was our 4th event in 4 weeks and our 3rd straight minor. Each event has new bowlers that didn’t bowl in the last event and there are some members that just can’t get enough to bowl. So far the changes and additions for the 2015 season look very promising and we are excited to see if they continue to have successful results.

AMF McRay Results - 6/7/15

Our event at AMF McRay lanes drew 60 entries, had 16 cashers, a 1 in 3.75 cash ratio and paid out over $3,000.00 in main and side event prizes. The players bowled on the 40ft Kegel Highway To Hell pattern that proved to be very difficult. It created some of the lowest scoring that we have seen in quite a long time. There were many players that didn’t think they made the cut, and made the cut easily because the scores were so low. Most of the cut scores throughout the tournament had players bowling below average and making the cut still. The average cut score was around +60 for all of the divisions and the quarter finals. One thing was for sure, the players that had an advantage were those that were good spare shooters. They were able to minimize the difficulty of striking.

Let It Roll Results - 11/8/15

This Sunday the players bowled on the 44ft Shark oil pattern that played pretty long and pretty difficult for just about everyone. Those with slower ball speeds liked the lanes a little bit better, as those that threw it hard had a hard time getting the ball to react. All in all, like in many cases, it came down to spare shooting and overall mental toughness. The event had 40 total entries (25 qualifying entires & 15 economy parlay entries), 12 cashers, a 1 in 3.4 cash ratio and paid out a little over $1,500.00 in main and side event prizefund.

Brunswick Mesa - 6/14/15

This event was our very first one day standard event. It was very exciting to see how it would go, and it was a big success with the event drawing 91 entries (68 qualifying entries & 23 economy parlay entries), 20 cashers, a 1 in 4.5 cash ratio and paid out over $4,000.00 in main and side event prizefunds in only 3 squads of bowling! Those are some pretty impressive stats for a tournament in the middle of the summer! I hate to continue to brag about our members, but this was yet another change they initiated at our mid-season meeting that seems to be a hit so far! Thanks again to everyone that shows up to the meeting and helps this club continue to improve! 

Glenfair Results 11/15/15

 Our event was at Glenfair Lanes this Sunday. We had 51 entries (15 economy parlay entries and 36 qualifying entries), 16 cashers, a 1 in 3.18 cash ratio and paid out over $2,000.00 in main and side event prizefund. The pattern for this event was the 35ft Cheetah oil pattern, which is normally a high scoring pattern, but this Sunday it wasn't. Also, oddly enough, the A division had the highest cut scores, which is also uncommon. The average cut score for the event was around +60/+70, but the A division took +117 to advance to the quarter finals. Most of the players that scored well played near the gutter in some way, as the middle of the lane was very dry. 

Desert Sky Results - 2/15/15

We had another great turn out at Brunswick Desert Sky lanes. The event drew 73 total entries, which consisted of 49 qualifying entries and 24 economy parlay entries. We had a total of 18 cashers which was a 1 in 4 cash ratio and the event paid out nearly $4,000.00 with only 3 squads of bowling. The best part that the increased number of qualifying entries combined with the fact that there were no exempt players added to the quarter finals allowed for a dramatically increased payout from the advertised amounts. The low to cash amounts were increased by $15 and the top 3 spots were increased by $100 each, which left the overall prize fund increased by over $400.
