Bowlero Via Linda

Bowlero Via Linda - 1/21/2024

We would be at Bowlero Via Linda this weekend for another 2-squad tournament! We would see 103 total entries (74 qualifying and 29 parlays), 28 cashers, 1 in 3.8 cash ratio and paid out over $5,800.00 in main and side event prize funds! The players bowled on a very tricky 39ft PBA Chameleon oil pattern. A lot of bowlers would think that it would play similar to a house shot, but with all the oil in the front of the lanes it made it very hard to swing the ball. On the fresh if you got too wide with your angles too early, then it would overreact and go through the nose for a split. We had a variety of bowlers start off well, but once the pattern started to breakdown, then we would see players that like to curve it move left and see some higher scores. The cut scores were not too high as you only needed to bowl a few pins over your average with the A Division having high scores than the other two Divisions.

Bowlero Via Linda - 12/3/2023

We would be at Bowlero Via Linda this weekend for our final tournament of the 2023 Season and the 2023 Fall Quarterly Circuit. We would have a great turnout for our 2-squad event! We would see 104 total entries (82 qualifying and 22 parlays), 27 cashers, 1 in 3.88 cash ratio and paid out over $6,500.00 in main and side event prize funds! The players bowled on a very tricky 39ft PBA Chameleon oil pattern. A lot of bowlers would think that it would play similar to a house shot, but with all the oil in the front of the lanes it made it very hard to swing the ball. On the fresh if you got too wide with your angles too early, then it would overreact and go through the nose for a split. We had straighter players do well to start but once the pattern started to breakdown, we would see players that like to curve it move left and find some success.

Bowlero Via Linda - 7/30/2023

Our event this weekend was at Bowlero Via Linda, and we had a huge turnout for our 2-squad event! We would see 106 total entries (84 qualifying and 22 parlays), 29 cashers, 1 in 3.65 cash ratio and paid out over $6,600.00 in main and side event prize funds! The players bowled on a 2023 42ft PBA Scorpion oil pattern that was new and had a lot more volume than everyone was expecting. Many of the bowlers would think that since there was more oil volume that it would play similar to a house shot, but with all the oil in the front of the lanes it made it very hard to swing the ball. If you got too wide with your angles too early, then it would not come back. We had straighter players do well to start but once the pattern started to breakdown, we would see players that like to curve it more and cover more boards, would find success.

Bowlero Via Linda - 3/26/2023

We were at Bowlero Via Linda this weekend for our last event of the 2023 Winter Quarterly Circuit (January to March). We had another huge turnout for our 2-squad event! We would see 117 total entries (86 qualifying and 31 parlays), 32 cashers, 1 in 3.65 cash ratio and paid out over $6,500.00 in main and side event prize funds! The players bowled on a 38ft PBA Mike Aulby oil pattern that we have previously used at this center. Many of the bowlers would think that since there was more oil volume that it would play like a house shot, but with all the oil in the front of the lanes it made it extremely hard to swing the ball in the earlier squads.

Bowlero Via Linda - 8/21/2022

Our event this weekend was at Bowlero Via Linda, and we had another great turnout for our 2-squad event! We had 136 total entries (107 qualifying and 29 parlays), 35 cashers, 1 in 3.88 cash ratio and paid out just over $10,000.00 in main and side event prize funds! The players bowled on a 39ft PBA Chameleon oil pattern that was very tricky, deceptive. Many of the bowlers would think that since there was more oil volume that it would play similar to a modified house shot, but with all the oil in the front and outside portion of the lanes it made it very hard to swing the ball. Because the pattern was not very long or very short, it allowed players to attack it from a variety of angles. The cut scores were pretty low with bowlers only needing to bowl a few pins over their average to advance to the quarterfinal round. The main key for the day was to leave a makeable spares and pick it up.
