AMF McRay

Well another great event at AMF McRay Plaza Lanes. We had 82 entries, 24 prize winners, a 1 in 3.4 cash ratio and paid out nearly $3,000 in the main tournament prize fund. We had another 21 entries in the sweeper and paid out an additional $600.00 in side action. The bowlers bowled on the Kegel Middle Road oil pattern. The pattern seemed to start off a little touchy but playable, but definitely opened up as the day went on. The pattern yielded higher cut scores then usual and allowed for a variety of styles to compete.

We did have quite a few bowlers’ cash for the first time in this event, it’s not easy, so I want to give them a quick congrats. Mark Myers, Randy Reis, Robert Lewis, Lynn Heide, and Anthony Dang congrats on your first quarter finals appearance. However, this was the first event for Mark, Lynn, Robert, and Anthony, which makes their quarter finals appearance even that much more impressive. Congrats to all of you on your success this weekend.

Our last event had another great turnout with 83 entries! We had a total of 22 cashers which ends up at a 1 in 3.77 cash ratio! WOW! Large first place prizes are great, but it really helps when the cut ratio allows for more bowlers to make the finals. We had multiple bowlers that really benefited from our divisional insurance and the optional senior and woman division. Tom Large with +30 and Ron Badger with +69 both made the cut as the high seniors. Roger Sensing, Hokey Begay, Jason Reick, and Lynn Arthur all made the cut with divisional insurance. The participants bowled on the Kegel Broadway pattern.The scores were fairly high for this event, most cuts were taking +80 to +100.
