AMF Mesa

Our event this weekend was at AMF Mesa and we had a decent turnout. We had a total of 74 entries (66 qualifying and 8 economy parlays) with 22 prize winners and a 1 in 3.36 cash ratio, paying out $3,855 in prize funds. The players bowled on the 42ft Tokyo oil pattern that provided a higher scoring pace throughout the event.

Justin O’Donnell hit the Momma’s Mystery Score with a 177 for $96!! Your winner of the drawing for the free plastic ball, with the option to upgrade to any high-performance Track ball for $99.00, was Ashley Perez!

Final Match

Our event this weekend was at AMF Mesa Lanes and with all the other events going on throughout the Valley, we would have a good turnout for our 2-squad tournament!  We would have 87 total entries (61 qualifying and 27 parlays), 25 prize winners, 1 in 3.48 cash ratio which would pay out over $5,100.00 in main and side event prize funds!  The players bowled on the very tricky 45ft PBA Dragon oil pattern. We would see scores remain fairly low through both squads as it looked like you needed to shoot just above your average to make the cut to advance to the Quarterfinals. The key for the day was leaving makeable spares and picking them up.

Our event this weekend was at AMF Mesa, and with all the other events going on throughout the Valley we would have another good turnout in back-to-back weekends. We had 85 total entries (65 qualifying & 20 economy parlays) for 2 squads, with 23 prize winners and a 1 in 3.54 cash ratio, paying out over $5,400 in main and side event prize funds. The players bowled on the 43ft Kegel Deadman’s Curve oil pattern that played pretty tough for the qualifying squads. The pattern has an out of bounds if you get it too far towards the gutter early, but it looked like there was enough of a built-in track that the bowlers were able to overcome it. We would see some higher scores as bowlers could see the difference as they moved from pair to pair. Once the oil pattern started to break down in the later squads, then scores would start to pick up. It would take about +50 to qualify for the quarterfinals with bowlers needing to bowl 10-15 pins over their average per game to advance.

Our event this weekend was at AMF Mesa, and we had another good turnout for our 2-squad event! We would see 77 total entries (59 qualifying and 18 parlays), 25 cashers, 1 in 3.1 cash ratio and paid out over $3,900.00 in main and side event prize funds! The players bowled on a pattern we do not use often that is a tough one to get used to. The PBA pattern Badger that is 52 foot in length. This is the longest oil pattern used in competitive play and “hooking” your ball into the pocket is not really an option at the beginning. You have to get used to your ball fading back high flush until they start to break down a little bit.  The big difference throughout the day was spares and with so much oil on the lane it was hard to “hook” at spare attempts that you would normally be able to convert.
