The 2012 TAT Amateur Nationals February 5th- 11th, 2012 At the Gold Coast
February 12, 2012- Another busy and exciting week for the TAT at our new home The Gold Coast Hotel & Casino in Las Vegas, NV. We had over 440 bowlers with almost 2500 entries in this one week long event. As always every TAT competitor received a new Roto Grip High Performance ball free with their entry into the tournament. The first 400 bowlers also received a Crown Clear Polyester ball just for entering into the tournament. Over 200 of these bowlers upgraded their Crown Clear to the new Roto Grip Defiant which is one of the strongest balls Roto Grip has ever created.
The TAT had more bowlers in the finals then we have had in the past two tournaments. This was due to our new 1 in 8 cut for qualifying squads which amounted to the TAT taking an extra bowler to the finals in each division in every day of the event. This made it easier to make the finals than ever before while making more money in every round then previous tournaments, and the TAT Main finals were games shorter than ever before! In fact, our total finals pay out was $178,950 just in the final day of our event where almost 130 bowlers received checks to take home.
In the final day of the event Stuart McMillan (205 & Under Bowler) came away with the coveted TAT trophy cup and the $20,000 first place prize. Stuart traveled all the way from Scotland but only had to bowl 3 games of bowling in the finals to make the Top 5 with the new TAT finals rules. In fact, every division but one only had to bowl only 3 games to get seeded into the Top 5 with a one game battle for $20,000 making it almost half as easy to make the Top 5 and the big money.
Every division was guaranteed to have at least one bowler in the Top 5 so every Division Champion received a minimum of $5,000 for making the Top 5! Bowlers that only made it thru one round received an extra $300 making either $800 or $1,300 with Big Bucks. Then TAT competitors made an extra $450 dollars for bowling just one more game making $1,250 or $1,750 with division leaders receiving $2,000. Once bowlers passed thru this 3rd Round every Division but one was down to only one bowler with the under division having a 4th game match with two bowlers to decide who would hold the final spot in the TAT Top 5.
With each division being guaranteed at least one bowler into the TAT one game finals it was anyone’s game. Stuart McMillan a 205 & Under Average bowler from Scotland definitely proved that this week. Stuart bowled one of the worst games of his life the day before the finals shooting a 109. However, once he entered the finals he ran away from the field shooting a 266 the final game to take the 2012 TAT Amateur Nationals trophy back to Scotland. This proves once and for all the Anyone Can win the TAT!
The TAT and its Staff would like to thank everyone for coming to Las Vegas to compete in The 2012 TAT Amateur Nationals. We saw a lot of familiar faces this week and we hope to continue to see our TAT bowlers for years to come here at The Gold Coast in Las Vegas. We would also like to thank Roto Grip and their staff for all of their expertise and hard work this week. We hope to see everyone back here at The Gold Coast at the start of July for our TAT Summer Classic.
