sounds great, I have family in Oakland and Sydney so i am familiar with most of the centers up there, let me know I'd love to try one out. On average how many people show up and how are the payouts and brackets, as well as cost?

Sorry it took so long for me to respond (I was out of town on a business trip), but we typically have between 20-30 bowlers show up, which means we have between 4-6 bowlers that make the single elimination match play round.  There are brackets and high game/high series pots, with the typical bracket amount running 10-12 per tournament, at $5 per bracket, and $10 for high game/high series.  The amount made after qualifying varies depending on the number of entries, but the average amount for 4th, 3rd, 2nd, and 1st are like this: $50 (entry fee) for 4th, $75 for 3rd, $150 for 2nd, and $300 for 1st place.  We are hoping to get more out of state bowlers involved, as we see pretty much the same 20-30 guys from our own state at every stop, and it would be nice to branch our tournament out to other competitors from other areas besides Maine.  I hope this answers your questions, and if you need any contact info, just PM me, and I will respond ASAP, thank you!
