Saturday Night
Sweeper is run by Tim Elwell with Pilot Productions. The
format is a handicap 3-game, 9-pin no tap. (For those
unfamiliar to 9-pin, if you get 9 or 10 pins on your first
ball it is counted as a strike.) All money shots must be
legitimate 10-pin strikes. For those that want to know,
there is an agreement between Tim and AMF Lewisville that
the money for the strike and super pots will remain with the
center to be returned to the bowlers should he stop running
the sweeper. STRIKE POTS
-- Each game we will sell strike pot tickets, 5 tickets for
$1. For every $25 worth of tickets sold, we will draw 1
ticket (ie, $200 worth of tickets sold, we will pull 8
tickets). If yours is the ticket, the next time you're up to
bowl, if you get a legitimate 10-pin strike you'll win $25.
If you buy a $20 string of strike pot tickets and don't get
a single ticket pulled, you have insurance and will bowl
your next shot for $20 if you get a 10-pin strike. Any money
left over in the strike pot will be carried over the that
same games strike pot the next week. (ie. $200 is shot for
in game 1 and only $100 is won, then the other $100 is
carried over to the game 1 strike pot for the next
week.) COLOR PINS --
Color pins in the rack equal money for you. Depending on the
placement of the pins, a color pin could mean from $1 to
$20. BRACKETS
-- What would any bowling event be without brackets. We have
Mixed Scratch and Handicap, and Women's Handicap brackets.
Entries are $5 per bracket with the winner receiving $25 and
second place $10. GOLD PIN
-- One of our newest introductions is the Gold Pin. We have
1 gold pin that is randomly dropped into the set of pins on
at least one lane each game. If this pin is in the #1,
headpin, position and you get a strike, you win the
sponsored prize of the evening. Prizes are typically dinners
for two to local restaurants, movie tickets, etc. SUPER POT
-- During all three games we will be selling super pot
tickets, 5 tickets for $1, same as strike pot. At the end of
the third game we will draw tickets for the super pot. The
number of tickets drawn depends on how much money is in the
super pot. Initially they will be $100 shots. To win the
super pot you must have your ticket drawn and then strike
(10-pin strike) on BOTH lanes you are bowling on. On
super pot, we will pay $1 per pin knocked down, if you don't
strike on both lanes (ie, you hit 9 pins we pay $9, 17 pins
and we pay $17.) You must have been at sweeper two of the
past 3 weeks (including the current night) to be eligible
for the full value of the strike pots. MONTHLY $100
-- Every week, those who bowl sweeper are given an entry
form to win a $100 bill on the first sweeper of the month.
For each NEW (not already in our database) person you bring
to sweeper, you get an additional entry for the $100. Best
thing is, all you have to do is show up the first Saturday
of the month to have a chance at winning. You MUST be
present to win. OTHER MONEY
-- We will have Men's and Women's High Pots and during the night there will be other chances to win
money. And, if we get done with sweeper early you may even
see some Crazy 8's. Come out and see what we're all
about. |
