Thanksgiving tournament in Clarksville

[Aaron Hayes]

I was curious if anyone from the Atlanta area was going to make it to Clarksville for the tournament. It will be a good time and a good payout. Pattern will put a premium on spare shooting and shot making. Hope to see some Real Bowlers there. You can comtact me at 931 980 1597 with any questions. If I dont see you there Ill see you the next weekend. Aaron

Aaron how far is Clarksville from Atlanta?

[Aaron Hayes]

300 miles all interstate bowling center is about 5 minutes off the interstate. You gain an hour coming here.

How large of a turnout are you expecting for this event? I am coming up from North Florida to bowl this. I will be in the area for the holiday.

[Aaron Hayes]

It's hard to tell but I think we will have a pretty good turnout. We could possibly get in the 70's.

[David Belcher]

What will the format be?

[Aaron Hayes]

Bowl 5 games cut to top 24 top 8 receive a bye. 9-24 bowl two game total pin match. Reseed by qualifying position continue until we have a winner. We will pay one in four at least. We also have 4 balls to give away. Ebonite, Columbia, Hammer, and Track have all donated a ball. We will also have a Powerhouse package to give away. These will most likely go to those just out of cashing.

[David Belcher]

Sounds good, looking forward to it.

[Theo McNair]

Who won? How did it go? Hope it went well.

1st Andrew Campfield 2nd Tony Campagna 3rd Jeff White 4th Mike Goode 5th David Rogers 6th Johnny Atkinson 7th Tim Miller 8th Jeff Butler We had 48 bowlers. Entry fee was $125.
Our payout was 1st $2000 2nd $1000 3rd-4th $450 5th-8th $250 9th-16th $125
We also gave away four bowling balls to places 17th-20th. Ebonite Pin Slasher, Columbia Momentum Swing, Track Rising SE, and Hammer No Mercy Whup'n. The cut for the top 24 was +38 for five games. Wish we could have had a few more bowlers but we paid what we said we would and also were able to pay 1:3. Hopefully some of you guys from Atlanta can make the trip next time.

Aaron, I was trying to make it and bring a couple of bowlers but, we did not get in to late Saturday night from S. Carolina, for my family reunion. 48 Bowlers is not bad, especially for a first tournament, trust me. By the way with that payout you must have had free linage :) Good job! Great payout!

We had a little added money from some local businesses. The center also gave us a pretty good deal on linage. The bowling balls were donated by the brand managers which was very helpful and greatly appreciated. All said 20 bowlers out of 48 got something. We're going to try and have this tournament every thanksgiving weekend. We may try to have another around April or May. It's also hard to describe how stressful it is waiting on bowlers to show up until you do it. Thanks again to everyone who came if you happen to read this.
