Our event was at AMF Christown this Sunday, and we had a great time as usual. It was  a standard event which means that it was guranteed $1,000.00 for first place regardless of entries as long as you are in the progressive pot. These events always have a certain level of hype behind them, and people are excited to bowl for that kind of money. The event drew 70 entries (48 qualifying entries and 22 economy parlay entries), had 18 cashers, a 1 in 3.7 cash ratio and paid out over $3,000.00 in main and side event prizes! The players bowled on a 41ft Turnpike oil pattern that proved to play a little difficult for most people. The average cut score didn't even require players to bowl over their average.

Althogh, a lot of bowlers were in Las Vegas for the TAT, we still wanted to have an event for our bowlers that weren't able to make it up to the TAT. The event had a light turn out, but that didn't stop us from having a good time! The players bowled on the 39ft Middle of the Road oil pattern which had pretty low scores. It seems that no matter what pattern we put down at Let It Roll, the scores are fairly low. It is a tough center in general, which normally brings out the best in players.

We had Jakob Butturff win Momma's mystery score for $500, which was very exciting! We also had quite a few new players come out to bowl! We want to welcome Patrick Simonis, Scott Cronquer, Grant Dickerson, and Craig Heyer to the SFT AHT family. We look forward to seeing you all again at your next SFT AHT event! We hope you all had a good time and we thank you for coming out to give the events a try.

Our event at AMF McRay lanes drew 60 entries, had 16 cashers, a 1 in 3.75 cash ratio and paid out over $3,000.00 in main and side event prizes. The players bowled on the 40ft Kegel Highway To Hell pattern that proved to be very difficult. It created some of the lowest scoring that we have seen in quite a long time. There were many players that didn’t think they made the cut, and made the cut easily because the scores were so low. Most of the cut scores throughout the tournament had players bowling below average and making the cut still. The average cut score was around +60 for all of the divisions and the quarter finals. One thing was for sure, the players that had an advantage were those that were good spare shooters. They were able to minimize the difficulty of striking.

The majors are always exciting! Our biggest payouts, turnouts and most anticipated events of the entire season. We currently have two majors each year, one on Memorial Day and one on Labor Day. This event was an awesome one! We had 168 entries (126 qualifying entries & 42 economy parlay entries), 44 cashers, a 1 in 3.8 cash ratio and paid out over $10,000.00 in main and side event prizefund. The pattern we used was the 42ft Stars and Stripes oil pattern that we designed specifically for this event. The pattern proved to be one of the higher scoring patterns we have ever used for any of our major events. The cut scores all weekend were typically around +110 to +130. Since the handicap system is based on 90% of 225, this means most people making the cut were bowling about 20 pins over average per game. It definitely appeared that the players that were comfortable hooking it a little bit more matched up a little bit better this weekend.
