Quick recap since I bowled so bad..

We bowled early both days on Fresh.

Team house started dry and got drier.  Outsides would absolutely fly here.  Shot was fairly easy, but only one of us really hit it.  We shot 3200ish scratch (1050 avg).  Both teams on the pair next to us were right around 3400

Singles and Doubles were significantly wetter.  However, the outsides were still dry and by the end of practice you could get some bounce.  Insides were flooded.  If you miss a few left expect to come up weak.  Break down around 10, and you can open area up from there to the ditch.  Again, pretty easy shot, but only a few of us took advantage of it.

One pair of our group shot 1440ish in doubles.  I think 2050 was high of the 10 of us, with 5 more guys in the 1900s and 3 more in the 1800s and me with less than that.  The guy that was 2050 lost money in brackets and he didn't have any low games.  We had some real ringers in our squads.

Very playable from any angle in team (though they were so dry outside you needed real weak equipment or no hand or high speed to really play outside).  You need to start at 10 or further out in S/D and migrate in as you wear them down..

If you bowl 2nd shift team (if it exists..), I wish you luck because there will be nothing left in the heads.  If you bowl 2nd shift s/d nothing under 1300 should be accepted..lol  Good luck
