SFT To Increase Entry Fees Starting April 1, 2022. Courtesy Of SFT.
Greeting SFT bowlers,
For the past 10 years we worked hard to provide a great value and opportunity for bowlers of all skill levels a chance to compete and improve their skills. We, like many other businesses, are seeing a rise in costs as we work towards completing the schedule for the 2022 season. We have tried to minimize costs to our bowling club members but unfortunately moving forward we are going to have to increase our entry fees by $5.00 to offset rising lineage costs. The amount of this increase should also ensure that we will not need to increase entry fees any further for some time, even if rising costs continue to persist.
Our Economy Parlay entry fee would increase to $30.00, Main Entry fee to $55.00, Re-Entry fee to $50.00 and our Pacing fee would be $15.00. The Progressive Pot, Progressive Re-Entry, Divisional Insurance and Senior/Women’s Insurance fees would remain the same.
The entry fee increase would be effective April 1, 2022.
We hope that our track record has proven our commitment to keeping costs low and providing value for our members. As always, we are committed to providing you with quality service and an opportunity to improve your skills in a competitive environment. We appreciate your continued support.
Sincerely,
SFT AHT
