Sunset Strike Zone - Las Vegas, NV
February 13th, 2016

Total Paid Out: $4,383.00

 

Wrap Up

BIG THANKS to our bowlers!  Your efforts to help us get the word out to the local bowlers about the Tour has been fantastic! All of the positive feedback we've been getting has been very encouraging.  An impressive 26 New Members joined the Tour this week, which has swelled the Membership to 179 bowlers.

The 'Best 3 out 4' format proved to be as popular in Las Vegas, as it has been on the Seattle and Hawaii Tours.  The 82 Entries Saturday smashed our previous best one-day total and we suspect that the new Record may not stand for very long.  We announced to the Puget Sound Region that they better watch-out... "We're going to catch you guys (they had 118 entries yesterday)."  The 16 Members on the 'Cash List' and $4,383.00 Paid Out were obviously Records as well.  The 9-Tap Jackpot got off easy this week, with 4 bowlers tied at 3-Taps.  We paid-out extra so that each of the four got $25.00 for their effort (instead of $12.50).  Scores were very slightly on the high side which was pretty good for our first time at Sunset.


Henry Murphy bowled at 1:30 and had a tough time getting lined up.  He did finish with his best game, so he gave it another try re-entering at 4 pm.  Naturally, Henry started outwith his highest game so far on the Tour, a 276, beating his previous best by 30 pins.  He stayed in that nice 'groove' except for his Throw-Out 141 game, ending up with a spectacular 872 series.  Henry has been one of the Tour's most ardent recruiters, becoming one of the LV Tour's 1st Life Members, by bringing in 5 paid Members.  He used a Rotogrip ball drilled by Johnny Petraglia Jr at the Strike Zone's Pro Shop, for his first Title.   Henry was rewarded with a hefty $1,225.00payday for his efforts, commenting that he really enjoys bowling on the Tour and plans to reinvest his winnings by practicing every day.  He was really excited and proud of Winning his first Title and he especially appreciated being cheered on by the Bisnar and Zafra families.  CONGRATS Henry!

Ellena Dominguez,who had the lead after the 2nd squad, was also on a re-entry.  She shot 3 games that were higher than any games in her 11 am effort.  Her impressive 850 looked like it might hold up, but along came Henry on one of the last pairs to finish for the day.  Ellena received a healthy $570.00 for her 2nd Place finish.  In 3rd, Corben Etteldorf was ON-FIRE!  He didn't really come up short, because he needed to shoot a 300 in his final game, just to come up ONE PIN short of Ellena's score.  HE DID IT and we thought he had 2nd wrapped up, until Henry's score came in.  Corbin took home a check for $263.00.  Corben also made an extra $100.00 from the Scratch Pot.  CONGRATS also to David Bass Sr. who also earned his Lifetime Membership on the Tour.

Special thanks to Joy FrancomanoStrike Zone's manager, and Brian Bock, Assistant manager and their staff for helping all week to promote the Tour.  The Las Vegas 9-Tap Tour is well on its way to becoming the biggest and best tournament organization in Las Vegas... THANKS TO YOU GUYS!
