I'd have to say that arsenal looks kind of thin if you are going to start doing tournaments regularly. For a league shot its fine but you will encounter lots of different conditions in tournaments that you will want to fill in some holes in that lineup. Just off the top of my head, it looks like you have a pretty big gap between the HRP and speed zone to fill and it wouldn't hurt you to get something with a coverstock that isn't pearl that is a little stronger than your HRP. Without knowing anything about your game it's hard to make suggestions though.

The best thing could do at the moment is get a solid/surfaced coverstock in your bag that will eat oil. You have a lot of pearl covers and pearls usually are not great on sport patterns as they require friction. Sport patterns normally take that friction away. I would say a disturbed, reax solid, or defiant soul would be great in your bag. Other than that, I would wait and bowl on the tourney patterns then determine what you need from there. No use buying ton of balls when one ball can carve a path and create area for your pearls.
