Chandler - - - We kicked off our 2022 Summer Circuit this weekend, July 9th at Bowlero Kyrene and we had a great turnout! We would see 140 entries (108 qualifying and 32 economy parlays) with 35 cashers, a 1 in 4 cash ratio and paid out over $9,000.00 in main and side event prize funds. The players bowled on a squirrely 35ft PBA Cheetah pattern that played a bit longer than the previous versions that was laid out. There was a difference in how to attack the pattern, but those that found success were able to play up the gutter and get their ball to roll correctly through the pins. The average cut score was a bit higher, but with this shorter pattern scores are usually on the high side.
We want to quickly welcome our new bowlers that joined us for this event! Jessie Croxton Jr., Ron Hovis, Ismael “Izzy” Traverso, Angela Wolfe, Michael Allen, Kert Stiller, Kevin Dohrman, Jason Medling and Jeremy Becker bowled in their first SFT AHT event this weekend! It is awesome to still see new faces and we hope you all had a great time. Unfortunately, there were no Parlay Power Players this weekend which goes to show you the difficulty of the pattern. Congrats to Michael LePage, Myles Hamilton, Brad Erickson, William Nedry, Johnny Boyd, Kyle Fritz, and Teri Hamilton who made their first ever quarterfinals or their first quarterfinals in quite a while! Also, congrats to Isaac Chavira who would win Momma’s Mystery Pot for $500.00 with a score of 168! Your winner of the free plastic ball drawing, with an option to upgrade to any Track high performance ball for $85.00, was Ron McDonald.
The quarterfinals would be bowled on the fresh oil pattern and the scores showed as we would see scores more in line with the 1st squad of the tournament. With the bigger turnout, we would cut to the Top 3 in all three Divisions. Picking up spares was the key as it would come down to the final few frames to see who would advance to Semi-Final round.
The A Division would see Chris Brunick (+130) and he would have to face off against Josh Molloy (+94) and Myles Hamilton (+72). The B Division had Isaac Chavira (+90) emerge as the #1 seed as he would take on Jake Howell (+59) and Sean Molloy (+49). The C Division #1 seed would be Mathew Wykoff (+50) and he would be up against Kyle Fritz (+48) and Michael LePage (+22).

I've been asked a few times when we'll be using the 21-22 averages. We will begin using updated averages in September. This will allow all summer leagues to be included in the composite.
If you're wanting to bowl and need to find a team mate. Please comment below. That's the best and (usually) quickest way to get matched up.
