Bowlero Mesa

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.

Our event this weekend was at Bowlero Mesa and we would see another huge turnout.  When I mean huge, it was like bowling on Monday of one of our Major tournaments.  We had 164 total entries (119 qualifying and 45 economy parlays) with 41 cashers, a 1 in 3.97 cash ratio and we would pay out over $10,000.00 in main and side event prize funds.  Our first squad of the day had a 67 bowlers, which was amazing to see!  The players bowled on the 42ft WTBA Tokyo oil pattern that played pretty tricky for most of 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.

Our event this weekend was at Bowlero Mesa and we had a pretty good turnout considering that there were a couple of other events going on around the Valley.  We had 113 total entries (76 qualifying & 37 economy parlay) for 3 squads, with 29 prize winners and a 1 in 3.89 cash ratio.  We paid out over $6,200 in main and side event prize funds.  The players bowled on a the 39ft WTBA Seoul oil pattern which is a medium pattern that allowed bowlers to play from a variety of angles.  Scores were up and down all day as the pattern transitioned differently from pair to pair depending on how it was being broken down.  Some lanes you had to play deep, but others you had to straighten up your line to get the ball to enter the pocket correctly.  The bowlers that were able to figure out their pairs were able to stay out of trouble.  The average cut scores to the quarterfinals were about +30 which meant that you just had to get 5-10 pins over your average per game to advance to the Quarterfin

Our event this weekend was at Bowlero Mesa and even we had a pretty good turnout.  We had 116 total entries (78 qualifying and 38 economy parlay), with 28 cashers a 1 in 4.14 cash ratio, paying out over $7,200.00 in main and side event prizes! The players bowled on the 38ft Atlanta pattern that proved to be very difficult. The cut scores were all very low being around +20, which means the players just needed to bowl near their average for series to advance. The pattern did allow for players to play a variety of angles though and the key for the day was minimizing mistakes and making spares!
