Our event this weekend was at Mesa East Bowl for a 2-squad standard event.  We had a pretty good turnout considering other tournaments going on in the Valley!  We had 78 total entries (48 qualifying and 28 economy parlays) with a cash ratio of 1 in 3.61 and paying out over $3,900 in main and side event prize funds.  The bowlers played on a very difficult 37ft Kegel Radium oil pattern, that is a bit short and flat, which saw some pretty low-cut scores.  The average cut to make it to the quarterfinals was about even, which meant that you just had to get close to your average to move on.  While the bowling center has the characteristic of creating some hook and some high scores, the pins however, really fly and it's very easy to have too much entry angle and leave a lot of single pin spares.  So, picking up the spares would be key this weekend!

Our event this weekend was at Bowlero Glendale.  This was our last tournament for the 2021 Summer Quarterly Circuit and we had a nice turnout for a two-squad event considering that we were bowling on a busy Saturday morning.  We had a total of with 69 entries for the event (43 qualifying and 26 economy parlays) and had 23 total cashers, a 1 in 3 cash ratio and paid out over $3,600.00 in main and side event prize fund. The players bowled on the 43ft PBA Earl Anthony oil pattern that was being used for the first time.  The pattern played a bit tricky with all bowlers being able to play a variety of angles.  It seemed that those that could stay clean and out of trouble were able to score higher. 

This weekend’s event was our 3-Day Labor Day Major at Bowlero Via Linda.  This is the first time that we have been to this center for a Major and we would see 254 total entries with 170 qualifying and 84 parlay entries this weekend.  We can’t thank the bowling community enough for all the help in making this such a successful event.  The event had 66 cashers, a 1 in 3.84 cash ratio and paid out over $18,500.00 in main and side event prize funds.  The players bowled on a 39ft Stars & Stripes oil pattern that proved to be playable but very tough if they were broken down wrong.  It seemed that some bowlers matched up well and others…not so well.  It would put a premium on avoiding splits and picking up spares.  The scores were pretty much on par with bowlers only needing to get 10 pins above average to make the cut.  The scores were a bit higher on Saturday and Sunday for the B Division, but it seemed that with each strip and re-oil, the pattern played truer and truer and got harde

Our event this weekend was at Bowlero Kyrene and it was our first tournament back after a two-week break.  We had a huge turnout with 161 entries (106 qualifying and 55 economy parlays) with 39 cashers, a 1 in 4.12 cash ratio and paid out over $9,000.00 in main and side event prize funds.  Our first squad of the day had a record 69 bowlers, which is amazing to see!  The players bowled on the 42ft PBA Scorpion oil pattern that played pretty tough for most of the day but the lanes would open up later in the day.  There were some higher scores but for most of the day bowlers were able to play a variety of angles on the pattern.  The cut scores stayed around +60 for most of the day, which meant that you had to bowl about 10-15 pins over your average per game to qualify.
