Our event at Golden Pin lanes drew 47 entries, had 16 cashers and a 1 in 2.9 cash ratio. The players bowled on the 40ft Carmen Salvino oil pattern which had moderate to high scores. We met a few new bowlers that lived in the Tucson area, and even had a couple of them make it to the quarter finals in their first event with us!
We met the following new members; Larry Thompson, Erica Pursell, Richard Bruner, Josh Franz, and Labriel Leach were all new members that came out to represent Tucson. A special congrats to Josh Franz who made the quarter finals in his first ever SFT AHT event. Also congrats to Erica Pursell who made it all the way to the B division finals in her first ever event. Also congrats to Robin Unfricht who showed the power of the parlay and turned $25 into a quarter finals check! Congrats everyone!
Our quarter finals were fairly high scoring and left with the A division finals being between Kevin Enomoto and Dylan Taylor and the B division finals between Erica Pursell and Phil Thompson. Phil won his match pretty easily and although it was fairly close, Kevin strung enough strikes when he needed to to move on to the final match. Kevin and Phil were both using Track balls in the final match. Kevin a 503A and Phil a 811C/T. The 811C/T gave Phil his best ball reaction and it showed as he fired a huge 278 with handicap at Kevin to take home his 2nd SFT AHT title and his first one worth $1,000.00. Congrats to Phil and Kevin!
