My 1st Bowling Tournament

[Chase]

I don’t know how many of you all have noticed, but I have (finally) decided to have my very first tournament in Atlanta.

The Bowling200.com Summer Handicap Doubles Challenge
Handicap Doubles 1st place: $1,500.00 Guaranteed
Scratch Singles 1st place: $500.00 Guaranteed
Handicap Singles 1st place: $500.00 Guaranteed


This is my first tournament, so I am hoping that many of you will be supportive, and come out to bowl! :)

I did my best to try to make a format that I (and others I consulted) felt would be fair and also low entry fee & alibi ... to all. Also – I am putting up my own money as a guarantee that the 1st place prizes will be paid as they say; $1,500 for 1st place doubles; $500 for 1st place scratch singles & $500 for handicap singles. I personally see (and have experienced) tournaments that advertise the “based on entry thing”, which is cool, but I just thought it might be a cool thing for you to get 1st place payouts... just as they are advertised. I actually wanted to make the 1st places higher, but since this is my first tournament, I didn't want to "run before I walk". If it goes well... I am definitely willing to do more $ in future tournaments.

I am looking forward to this, and I am open to any and all suggestions, thoughts (good or bad) that you would like to share.

Thanks for your support, respectfully yours-

Chase

Ps – I also would like to thank the Atlanta Pro Shops that are helping to sponsor this tournament. Bowler’s Express, Striking Results, and RAH. Also - Ellen at Funtime Bowl... Thank you!

I look forward to your feedback!

I have to be there Chase to win some of the money back that you took from me pot bowling lol.

[Chase]

oh please....lol. Man, you're going to be he guy to "try to beat" in the 2009 Winter. Martin, I just get lucky every-now-and-then. You actually have the right form and swing to be a great bowler. For me... I'm kinda like a "scratch-off" lotto tix. I win $25, after putting in $80...lol
