AMF Mesa - 5/5/2024
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.
