Like the title says.....  what are you looking for?

 

Prize Fund?   at least 500$ for first + brackets???

 

Games bowled??   4 to 6 for a qualifier? 

 

a certain oil pattern??  PBAX or just not a THS....

 

 location???  within a certain driving distance??

 

 

For singles, I will avoid a THS at all cost.  I don't feel challenged and too often someone throwing it like crap will carry everything that hits the head pin.  Second I look for 5-6 games for qualifying.  The more games, typically the cream will rise to the top.  Last, I want a respectable payout compared to the entry fee.  No one wants to pay $60 for a chance to win $200.  The more of those conditions met, the further I will travel.

I will agree i look at all the things listed including the lanes.

 

 I like tuff lanes the allow a good or hot bowler to excel. I dont want it to be a carry fest with a bunch of Flingers winning.  

I like more qualifying games again as mention before better will rise to task.

 

Want to be an enjoyable experience.
