We're excited to bring a tournament within the Philadelphia city limits! Reach out if you are interested or have any questions.

We'll have a chat with the proprietors and see if we can make them louder. The folks are North Bowl are very excited for this and are giving a lot of support, so we should be able to make this a very entertaining and enjoyable event!

Hi Everyone! Thanks to all who came out to the event this past weekend. I'll share a link soon with videos and pictures. Congrats to Rick Prince (Main Winner) and Francesco La Rocca (Side Winner) who both won free bowling for life at North Bowl. Many thanks to the folks at North Bowl Philly, PBR, and Jim Beam for bringing the machines in, providing swag bags (and bowling pins) for the winners, and hosting a fun event.

Side Tournament Results!

We did a "closest without going over" contest where you had to get 1,000 or less on the Can Crusher machines. It was a really fun format that I highly recommend as a fun side contest on lower-scoring machines.

Top four played a single group game, and top two from that played a single head-to-head game:

A quick thanks to Jon Long for getting this event off and running, Andreas for the MatchPlay software which made qualifying run smoothly, and Karl for getting us set up with NeverDrains which we used for the side tournament.

We are also going to try to start a league at North Bowl, so if you're interested please drop a note since we're collecting sign-ups for a league that we'll start up in early 2017.
