Our event this weekend was at Lucky Strike Mesa and we had a medium turnout. We had a total of 58 entries (38 qualifying and 20 economy parlays) with 13 prize winners and a 1 out of 4.46 cash ratio, paying out $2,300 in prize funds. The players bowled on the 38 ft Los Angeles oil pattern. This oil pattern provided a medium to lower scoring pace.
No one hit the Momma’s Mystery Pot so that money will roll over to our next event at Bowlero Via Linda. The winner of the drawing for the free plastic ball, with the option to upgrade to any high-performance Track ball for $99.00, was Michael Pospeshil!
There were 8 competitors who made it to the cashers round, plus one exemption used by Chase Rohlik. There would be one bowler out of each division that would move on after the cashers round. Coming out of the A Division, would be Ernie Mendoza with +89. Coming out of the B Division, would be Rick Mayber with +67. Coming out of the C Division, would be Tracy Miller with -7.
In the finals, Ernie would have all the experience as he would be looking for his 6th tile whereas Rick and Tracy would both be looking for title #1. The finals started off with Tracy taking an early lead, however, she would give it right back as she would have 4 consecutive opens in the middle of the game. Rick would then have the advantage, but two missed single pins late would open the door for Ernie. Ernie would strike and stone an 8-pin which would be enough to claim his 6th title along with the $760 top prize. The final scores with handicap were 198 (Mendoza) - 180 (Miller) - 169 (Mayber).
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 the entire staff at Lucky Strike Mesa 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 in two weeks at Bowlero Via Linda for another 2-squad event!!
