Bowlero Mesa

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.

Our event this weekend was at Bowlero Mesa and with all the events going on through the Valley we would see a nice turnout. We had 84 total entries (64 qualifying and 20 economy parlays) with 23 cashers, a 1 in 3.5 cash ratio and we would pay out over $4,600.00 in main and side event prize funds. The players bowled on the 38ft PBA Wayne Webb oil pattern that played pretty tricky for most of the day as it is a shorter pattern but had a lot of volume in the front of the lane. With this being a 3-squad tournament, usually the pattern gets easier as the day goes on, but with the high volume in the front of the lane it seemed like the lanes got tighter as the day progressed. We would see some lower cut scores as you just had to get to your average to have a chance to advance to the Quarterfinals.

This weekend we kicked off the 2023 Summer Quarterly Circuit (July - September) at Bowlero Mesa. With the long holiday weekend and all the other events going on this weekend we still had a good turnout. We would see 95 total entries (78 qualifying and 17 economy parlays) with 32 prize winners and a cash ratio of 1 in 4, which paid out over $6,000 in main and side event prize funds. The bowlers played on the 39ft PBA Chameleon oil pattern. The players bowled on a 39ft PBA Chameleon oil pattern that was very tricky, deceptive. Many of the bowlers would think that since there was more oil volume that it would play similar to a modified house shot, but with all the oil in the front and outside portion of the lanes it made it very hard to swing the ball. Because the pattern was not very long or very short, it allowed players to attack it from a variety of angles.

This weekend we kicked off the 2023 season with our first event this weekend at Bowlero Mesa.  We had a huge turnout with 174 total entries (134 qualifying entries and 40 economy parlays entries).  It was great to see everyone come out and support our event as we were making our return from the shortened 2022 season.  We had 46 cashers, a 1 in 3.6 cash ratio and paid out over $11,000.00 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 doesn’t 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.

This weekend’s event was our 3-Day Memorial Day Major at Bowlero Mesa.  We would see 371 total entries (273 qualifying and 98 parlay entries) this weekend which would smash our previous record of 317 total entries (226 qualify and 91 parlays) for a Major event!  It was great to see everyone come out to compete and have a good time.  Honestly, we can’t thank the bowling community enough for all the help in making this such a successful event.  We would draw entries from around the state and would even see some bowlers come down from Utah to bowl our event.
