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.
Also a congrats to Gary Demeny and James Roethle on being this event's Parlay Power players. They both turned their $25 economy parlay entry fee into a quarter finals check. James just missed the cut to the final match, but turned his $25 into a nice $110 check. Gary took it even further and turned his $25 into a $225 3rd place check. Both players got a boosted check from the increased prizefund due to the good turnout we had.
The final match was one of the most interesting ones we have ever seen. It had a very very close finish, but wasn't exactly "exciting". Due to the pattern being so difficult, the players basically played hot potatoe with the victory. Trading missed spares and mistakes trying to give the big check away. However, a big three bagger at the very beginning ended up being the big difference maker for Phil Glass to take home the win, $600 and the big check.
Thanks to everyone that came out and we look forward to seeing everyone at Let It Roll Bowl next Sunday!
