Brunswick Mesa Results - 10/26/14

We had another fun weekend bowling for some big bucks and hanging out with all of the SFT AHT family members. We had 115 entries for the weekend, which kept our 100 entry streak alive. The event also had 32 cashers, a 1 in 3.6 cash ratio and paid out over $5,000.00 in main and side event prize funds. The players bowled on a very demanding 39ft Viper oil pattern. The scoring was very low again this weekend with most of the cut scores forcing the players to bowl average or slightly above average. The pattern did allow for many angles of attack, which had players of all styles having success. No matter the style, most players did say that the pair to pair differences were much tougher this weekend.

Glenfair Lanes Results - 10/12/14

We had a great weekend at Glenfair lanes to start off the 4th and final quarterly circuit. The event drew 116 entries, had 30 cashers, a 1 in 3.8 cash ratio and paid out nearly $4,500.00 in main and side event prize fund. We are starting to see a huge increase in Economy Parlay entries every weekend. We will see if the trend continues but it seems that people are really starting to see the value in the side event and the potential of turning $25 into a $1,000.00. This weekend nearly half of the 116 entries were Economy Parlay entries. That is an outstanding number and we are glad that the new feature that didn’t exist in the previous SFT charter is starting to catch on.

Brunswick Kyrene Results - 9/28/14

The event this weekend drew 107 entries, had 30 cashers, a 1 in 3.5 cash ratio and paid out nearly $5,000.00 in main and side event prizefunds. The players bowled on the newest version of the Scorpion pattern which was at 47ft long. It was pretty clear there wasn't going to be many players hooking it a whole lot. The pattern however, did allow players to play further right as long as they had slower ball speeds. It was very clear however, that players that could play a tighter angle in the middle of the lane had the best ball reaction. Although the pattern was longer, and had less "hook", the scores were fairly high all weekend with the average cut score being slightly above +100.

Brunswick Tri-City Results - 9/21/14

We had an awesome tournament this weekend at Brunswick Tri-City lanes! We had all kinds of cool story lines that I will get into in a little bit. First off, we always start with the turn out. The event drew 105 entries, 29 cashers, had a 1 in 3.62 cash ratio, and paid out over $4,500.00 in main and side event prizefund. The exciting thing about this, is that it keeps our streak of 100 entries intact for standard events in Arizona. In 2013 we were excited to break 100 entries, and in 2014 we have yet to not break 100 entires. I am sure that the club will plateau at some point, but we sure hope that the members can keep the growth going as long as they can. We were at Brunswick Tri-City almost the same exact time of the year last year and had only 82 entries.

Brunswick Mesa Results - 9/1/14

Well we have all seen a line graph before, whether it’s in the stock market or in a math book. They all go up and at some point in time start to flatten out. I am excited to say that after two and a half years, the SFT AHT entry counts line graph is still going up! We were very excited to set another record of 249 entries at this year’s $1,500.00 Labor Day event. Our previous record was this year during Memorial Day weekend, and our Labor Day entries were up nearly 25% from last year’s 203 entries. This allowed for all of the guarantees to be increased like they were in past majors. The low to cash went from $80 to $90, semi-finalist that lost in round 1 got a minimum of $200 instead of the advertised $160. The semi-finalist that lost in round 2 got a minimum of $250 instead of $180. Additionally, the 3rd place finisher of the tournament got $500 instead of $400.

Starlite Lanes Results - 8/10/14

Our first event in Flagstaff couldn’t have been any more of a success! We had 105 entries, 28 cashers, a 1 in 3.75 cash ratio and paid out over $5,000.00 in main and side event prizes. I can’t thank the locals enough for their support of the event. Their support far surpassed that of any other out of town area we have been so far. This was in due in large part to the bowling center’s proprietor, Ron Getto and his staff’s absolute commitment to the success of the event. If you combined the efforts of other centers that we have worked with in the past, it still wouldn’t come close to what Starlite lanes put forth to assist with the event. Because of the success of the event, and the incredible experience the club had there, we have already confirmed another event to be scheduled there in August of 2015. If you missed out on the beautiful weather and bowling fun this year, just mark your calendars for next year.
 

Brunswick Via Linda Results - 07/27/14

The event this weekend was another great one! We had 126 entries, 33 cashers, a 1 in 3.8 cash ratio and paid out over $6,000.00 in main and side event prizefunds. The players bowled on a very demanding 39ft Viper oil pattern that played a bit longer than 39ft due to the amount of volume of oil that was used. This was the first time that we have used the new version of the Viper pattern that was created for the world series of bowling. The pattern allowed for a variety of styles to compete. There was an out of bounds if you were further left, but for the straighter players there was just enough hook to play straight if you wanted to.

Glenfair Lanes Results - 07/13/14

Our event this weekend was at Glenfair Lanes. It drew 85 entries, 26 cashers, had a 1 in 3.2 cash ratio and paid out over $6,000.00 in main and side event prizes. The players bowled on a very demanding 42ft Kegel Autobahn oil pattern. However, it seems like most patterns play pretty tough at Glenfair. The players tend to have a hard time with pairs being different from one another. This meant you had to be on top of your game and make sure to throw good shots early in each game so you could make the correct adjustments in time.

Riverside Results - 6/22/14

We were incredibly excited to make our return to Riverside Lanes in Laughlin, NV. It was an event that over 6 years ago was a big hit with all of the members. With the success we have been having in the Phoenix area, we were happy that we had enough die hard followers to be able to go to a place so far away from “home base”.  We used our success here in Phoenix to start rebuilding the event in Laughlin, and this weekend did that exactly. We got to bowl in a center that many of the club members have never been too, and we got to meet quite a few new bowlers that are locals to the Laughlin area. Our standard event drew 67 entries, had 23 cashers, a 1 in 2.9 cash ratio and paid out over $4,000.00 in standard and side event prizes.

AMF McRay Results - 6/8/14

We had our event this weekend at AMF McRay Plaza Lanes. The event drew 102 entries, 29 cashers, had a 1 in 3.5 cash ratio and paid out almost $5,000.00 in main and side event prizefund. The members bowled on the 35ft Kegel Boardwalk oil pattern which proved to be a pattern that quickly changed. Although there was a lot of hook when the lanes were fresh, they gradually got tighter and tighter down lane, meaning they hooked less and less as the day went on. This was a definately a pattern where certain styles did much better then others. The ideal style was straight. This allowed players to score high but it minimized the damage when the lanes starting changing quickly. Many times the straighter players would have a few spares when they got lost instead of a few splits.
