With so much going on in town during Super Bowl weekend, we had a smaller than expected turnout at Suncoast... but the competition was no less spirited.  9-Tap Tour LV also reached another milestone with Membership now exceeding 150 members.  Based on our 'Target Range' of winning scores  (1030 to 1060) that we shared last week, the winning score Saturday was a perfect 1034, which was shot in the first squad of the day.  Many bowlers in the 5 pmsquad had a chance to take the lead, however, each one had a game under 200 which left them a bit short.  Mark Kight was the Winner of the Jackpot Consolation this week.  His 4-Taps was enough to earn him $100.00 from the 9-Tap Jackpot , leaving the Pot to grow to $1,241.00 for next week at Sunset Station.

The locals retook control of the top spots this week, after a Hawaiian & a Brit controlled the Top 2 places last week.  Jermal Williams became the 3rd LV Tour Champion of 2016, taking home a healthy $1,075.00, along with someBracket money & another $80.00 from the Scratch Pot.  His strong 1034 series, shot in the first squad, held up all day and represented the only 1000+ score of the day.  Jermal, a very courteous young man, recently moved to Las Vegas to attend college.  He enjoys playing poker but his passion is bowling.  Jermal got comfortable on the lanes immediately, throwing 4 solid games.  Saving his best for last, Jermal shot a sweet 290 game to close out his series like a Champion.  He's bowled in every LV Tour Tournament (including Thanksgiving weekend) and his 290 game was his best yet, topping his previous best game by a huge 49 pins.  Jermal said THANKS to Corben (Tour Floor Director) for introducing him to the Tour.  GREAT BOWLING Jermal... CONGRATS on Title #1.

At the urging of his father, David Bass Jr joined the Tour Saturday, along with his partner Heather.  He took 2nd place with a strong score of 980, in the final squad, for a well earned $480.00 in prize money.  Trailing him by only 5 pins, with a nice 975, was Robert Buckles, another Suncoast bowler and a also a coach with their Junior Bowling program.  Robert took home $325.00, plus some extra from the Scratch Pot.

Congratulations to our top 3 finishers and many thanks to our returning and new members who supported this week's Tour stop.  THANKS also to Chris & Dion from DM Collection, who has put together a Dye Sublimation shirt catalog, including Specials for Tour bowlers roughly $20 per shirt less than the competition.
