Strike Force Tour News - From SFT.
Chandler - - - We were at Bowlero Kyrene today, October 27, for a 3-squad tournament and we would have a great turnout. We would have 111 total entries (90 qualifying and 21 parlays) with a cash ratio of 1 in. 3.7, paying out over $7,400 in main and side event prizefunds.
The bowlers would play on the 42ft PBA Scorpion oil pattern that allowed a variety of ways to attack the pattern. We would see some higher scores as the day went on.
We would see David Roppel put up some good scores throughout the day and would ride that momentum to the Finals as he would take home his 1st AHT SFT title and the $1,300 first place prize. Congrats to Kyler Adams on 2nd place for $800.00 and also congrats to Nate Prince on parlaying his way to 3rd place for $400.00!
Thank you to everyone that came out to bowl today’s event. We appreciate the support. Thanks to Jay Jay Newell and the staff at Bowlero Kyrene for having us out and providing great service and customer support. Also, thanks to Michael Dragon and Joshua Molloy for helping out to keep us going.
Tournament event summary and results will be on our website tomorrow. We’ll be back next Sunday for another early 2-squad tournament at AMF McRay!
