Phoenix - - - We kicked off the 2024 Fall Quarterly Circuit (October - December) today, October 13, at Bowlero Christown. We would have a nice turnout with 87 total entries (63 qualifying and 24 parlays) paying out over $4,200 in main and side event prizefunds.
The players bowled on a tough 37ft PBA Bat oil pattern. We would see some high scores but it would only take bowlers shooting a few pins over their average to qualify for the quarterfinals.
We would see some very close semifinal and finals matches with most matches coming down to the tenth frame. Congrats to Dylan Taylor for stepping up and taking home his 8th AHT SFT title and $700.00 first place prize! Congrats to Arthur Lara on 2nd place for $350.00. Also, congrats to Jeff Kraus on 3rd place for $250.00!
Thank you to everyone that came out today to bowl our event. We hope to see you at our next tournament in a couple of weeks. Huge thank you to Aris and the staff at Bowlero for having us out this weekend. Also thanks to Michael Dragon and Kevin Robertson for helping out today.
We’ll be back for another tournament on Sunday, October 27th at Bowlero Kyrene!
