Our event this weekend was at Bowlero Christown and we had a medium turnout. We had a total of 69 entries (52 qualifying and 17 economy parlays) with 21 prize winners and a 1 in 3.29 cash ratio, paying out $3,150 in prize funds. The players bowled on the 35 ft Boardwalk oil pattern that provided a lower to medium scoring pace throughout the event.
No one hit the Momma’s Mystery Score so that money will roll over to our next event. 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 Micah Coleman!
There were 18 competitors who made it to the cashers round. Coming out of the A Division was Myles Hamilton who would move straight on to the finals with a score of 677. The B Division would see Jericho Gaydos (+86) vs. Josh Burnett (+37). Their match would be a high scoring match that would fall in the hands of Jericho, 254-245. The C Division would see Gunnar Wilson advancing straight to the finals 624.
The finals would be a mix of bowlers, with Myles looking for his second title, while Jericho and Gunnar would be looking for their first. Gunnar would be the one with the least amount of experience as this was his first event. It would be a tight race through about 9 frames. No one really took a commanding lead as Myles and Jericho were striking, matching one another, and Gunnar would manage to stay clean. In the 10th, Jericho and Myles would both leave the door open, giving the opportunity to Gunnar. He would step up and remain clean in the 10th to claim his first title (during his first event with us!) along with the $800 top prize. The final scores were 246 (Wilson) - 223 (Hamilton) - 217 (Gaydos).
Thank you to everyone that came out this weekend to bowl our tournament. We can’t run tournaments like these without you guys! Thanks to Josh and the entire staff at Bowlero Christown for having us out this weekend. As always, if you have any feedback, please let us know how we can further accommodate bowlers and improve our tournaments. We’ll be back this Sunday at Bowlero Gilbert for another standard 2-squad event. See ya there!
