Bowlero Gilbert - 6/23/2024
We would be at Bowlero Gilbert this weekend for another 3-squad tournament. This would mark the first time we have been at this center in almost 6 years. We would see a great turnout with 136 total entries (101 qualifying with 35 parlays), with 35 cashers and a cash ratio of 1 in 3.88, paying out over $8,400 in main and side event prize funds. The players bowled on the 35ft PBA Cheetah (2023 version) which would see some lower scores on the fresh but would see bowlers adapt and scores would increase throughout the day. The difference between the old Cheetah pattern and the newer version was the amount of oil volume on the lane. The 2023 version would have a lot of oil and bowlers had to play straighter up the ditch to start, but once the lanes started to transition, we would see scores explode. Bowlers had to average about 10-15 pins per game in order to advance.
