The First Team Event of the 9 Tap Tour was a "Huge Success". The tour paid 1 in 5, having 21 Teams, paid 4 places with a total payout of $7,529.00.  The payouts went like this; 1st place received $3,000.00; 2nd place $1,500.00; 3rd place $750.00; and 4th place $300.     Audie's Auto Techwas the sponsor for our Inaugural "Team Event" as it kicked off at 1200 noon with one (1) squad only on June 27, 2015 at Schofield Bowling Center.  Our format for the event was simple, "total pin fall plus handicap and the highest Team wins".  We hope that our members had a great time with this tournament, as it was a break from our normal "Beat the Board and Best 3 of 4" formats but still allow our members to win some "Big Bucks" while having Fun!
