This weekend’s event was our 3-Day Memorial Day Major at Bowlero Kyrene. We would see 273 total entries (205 qualifying and 68 parlay entries) this weekend and we can’t thank the bowling community enough for all the help in making this such a successful event. The event had 71 cashers, a 1 in 3.84 cash ratio and paid out over $19,000.00 in main and side event prize funds. It was great to see everyone come out to compete and had a good time. We would draw entries from around the state to bowl our event. The players bowled on a 41ft Freedom (41ft Kegel Arsenic) oil pattern that proved to be very tough but playable when moving pair to pair. There were some bowlers that seemed to match up well for a game or two but would get lost in transition when moving pairs.  This would put a premium on spare shooting this weekend. Bowlers had to be able to leave makeable spares and try to repeat shots. The scores were on par with bowlers only needing to get slightly above average to make the cut.

Our event this weekend was out in the West Valley as we would have an early bird 2-squad tournament at Bowlero Avondale. It's been a quite a few years since we have been here and we were lucky to be able to come back as the center has been recently renovated, which turned out great. We would see a total of 99 entries today (73 qualifying and 26 parlays) with a cash ratio of 1 in 3.41, paying out over $6,600.00 in main and side event prize funds. The bowlers played on the 39ft 2021 USBC Nationals Singles & Doubles oil pattern. The pattern played a bit tricky as you moved pair to pair. Also, there was a slight out of bounds if you got your ball just outside of the five board. Because the pattern was not very long or short, it allowed players to attack it from all angles.

Our event this weekend would kick off the 2024 Spring Quarterly Circuit (April – June). We would be at Bowlero Mesa for a 3-squad tournament. We would see a great turnout with 125 total entries (109 qualifying and 16 economy parlays) with a cash ratio of 1 in 3.67. We would pay out over $9,900 in main and side event prize funds. The bowlers would play on the 44ft PBA Billy Hardwick oil pattern that proved to be a bit tricky pair to pair. The pattern would play pretty true for the first couple of squads as bowlers were forced to play towards the middle of the pattern as the outside parts of the lane were cliffed. We would see cut scores remain around +50 for the day, so bowlers would need to average about 10 pins above average to advance to the quarterfinals.

This weekend we had a 3-squad tournament at Bowlero Mesa.  We had a great turnout with 115 total entries (88 qualifying entries and 27 economy parlays entries).  We had 30 cashers, a 1 in 3.83 cash ratio and paid out over $7,200.00 in main event and side event prize funds.  The players bowled on the 48ft PBA Shark oil pattern that plays a bit differently as it is a long pattern in length but does not have a lot of volume in the middle.  This creates a bit of an odd transition as the lanes start to “dry out” in the front and middle parts of the lane which forces bowlers to move left (for righties) quickly.  However, with most patterns you can still get the ball out towards to outside part of the lane and hook it back but with this pattern if you get it too far outside too early it would hit the out of bounds and not come back.
