Sunday was a day where nearly everything was SO CLOSE, often coming down to the 10th Frame or even the very last ball!  We had very tight Head-to-Head Matches such as the Round of 16 with 4 of 8 matches ending with a 5 pin margin or less... plus we had a number of near misses in the first two rounds of the Finals... that was preceded by a very close 'Roll-Off' to break a tie for the last spot in the Finals between Thang Duc Thai and Jerry Hendrickson, who were neck & neck from the 1st frame to the last and finally squeaked out by Thang.  The qualifying was equally close, thanks to some mostly consistent & moderate cut scores of 925, 884, 926 & 926 from both days.  We also came VERY CLOSE to paying another $750.00 (for the 4th straight time at Secoma) from the 9-Tap Jackpot, when Jeremy Truitt had 6 in-a-row (middle) before getting a real strike on his 'Money Shot' (see video).  Instead, the Jackpot got off easy with Aldrin Oriza getting the Consolation with the Front 4 Taps worth $100.00.  Paul Marcello took Top Qualifier honors with his 1050 shot on Saturday, to earn a new 900 Global ball & a 9-Tap Tour Jacket..  Next week, we're looking forward to our "Farewell to the Wood Lanes" Tournament at Paradise Bowl.  They're starting the process of installing their new lanes this week.
