2011 – 2012 AMF National In-League Tournament

Well, it’s been awhile since I’ve posted, but that doesn’t mean I’ve been away from the lanes!

I’ll have some new articles out here soon for you to read up, but I wanted to brag, err…share some news on things that have been going on lately.  If you’re not aware, AMF has an annual National In-League Tournament for league bowlers, where we can sign up and compete against other league bowlers for cash prizes.

There are four phases of the tournament that includes:

• Center Qualifying – This is where each participating AMF center opens the tournament to league bowlers that are interesting in joining up.
• Center Finals – The top six bowlers from each division will be determined and those bowlers will move on to the next phase.
• District Finals – Those bowlers that have moved forward will compete in the District Finals to determine who will move on to the next phase.
• National Finals Championships – The big kahuna, where the remaining bowlers will compete in Las Vegas for the championship.

It was my teammates that had ultimately talked me into joining up, as they also chipped in and are competing.  I figured I wasn’t going to make any waves but I wasn’t going to lose anything by giving it a shot other than a couple of bucks each week.

By the second week into the tournament, I found myself in third place in my division (Division B) and once I saw the scoresheet, I realized that I may have a decent chance in going a bit further than week one, so we’ll see how it goes.

Here are the current listings:

Wish me luck!!!
