Bowling League Recap

On Saturday, January 7, Heart of the Alliance (HotA) completed an odyssey undertaken last September: The Star Wars Strike Force Bowling Leagues. With our brand new balls drilled and ready, three teams from AMF College Lanes and three from AMF ProBowl (along with a new team who didn't previously participate in the leagues) had a little March Madness in January.

The 7 teams took their handicaps and rankings from the league play and translated that into an elimination-style tournament bracket. The champions were the Boba Bowlers, followed in second place by the Jedi Strike Force. A complete list of the winners can be found here, and pictures from the event are here.
