E&BC Classic Worlds Tournament 3/29/2025

It was a beautiful Phoenix day outside for today's event. Today we saw 20 bowlers for this event. Today bowlers bowled on the E&BC Tournaments Sardius oil pattern. This pattern dictated the bowler to find the friction as quickly as possible; the far outside had no hook. The field scoring was slightly above average. After the squad was completed we took the top 8 bowlers for a three game match play with bonus pins. The match play was purely random. Our leader after the qualifying round was George Pinegar with 1013 with handicap, followed by Caden Meliska with 1005, Matt Villegas 992, Sheila Perkins 985, Bob Adair 984, Dave Nelson 981, Ryan Currie 946, and Scott Perkins 908. With some up and down match-play, the final three for the one game placing eliminator came down to Caden Meliska, 1705, George Pinegar, 1748, and Matt Villegas, 1678. The final 1 game roll-off (eliminator) went to George Pinegar who shot a very impressive 256 scratch, 314 with handicap. Our second place finalist was Caden Meliska, and 3rd place went to Matt Villegas. There was about zero down time, and so we would like to thank the crew at Bowlero Union Hills who work as hard as they did to make sure the event went off without a hitch. We would also like to thank you to all who came out in support of this event. To be eligible to bowl the year-end event you will need to bowl at least 2 events prior. Our next event will be April 19th, 2025. You can contact us at ebc_tournaments@yahoo.com for any additional information. We currently have holding $145+ added prize money for the year-end event with more being added each tournament. Each event we anticipate these tournaments to grow this year.
