Tim McAuliffe Jr.’s 836 series highlighted a thunderous weekend as qualifying in Jim Elliott’s 47th New Year Singles Classic got underway over the weekend at Rab’s Country Lanes.
McAuliffe grabbed the top spot with his big series and was followed by Mike Galeotti’s 786, which was helped by a 300, one of two perfect games on the weekend.
The two keglers won their respective squads, which means they will automatically be seeded in the 24-person finals. There were six other squad winners (see the results below), including six-time NYSC winner George Cretella (780).
A.J. Everts, who did not crack the standings, also fired a 300.
Qualifying concludes this weekend with finals being contested on Jan. 21 at Country.
