Coastal Classic
Two bowling centers, three sport patterns, one cut to survive. A top-10 finish on a format built to test adaptability.
Tournament Overview
The Coastal Classic was a logistics test as much as a bowling test. Block one ran at Little River in Myrtle Beach, then the field packed up and drove to Planet Fun in Shallotte for block two. Make the cut after two blocks, and you earned the finals back at Planet Fun. Miss it, and your weekend was over.
Arryn made the cut and finished 10th of 36, 2,755 pins over fifteen games at a 183.7 average. Three sport patterns, two houses, one solid top-10 result on a setup designed to punish anyone who could not travel and adjust.

Block by Block

10th of 36 in a competitive SYC field, a clean result on a demanding multi-house format.

Survived the field reduction after two blocks and earned a spot in the finals round.
Adjusted across two different bowling centers and three sport patterns without losing the thread.
Why This Result Matters
Not every strong weekend ends on a podium. This one was about durability: showing up at one house, traveling to another, surviving a cut, and still finishing inside the top ten. The format rewarded bowlers who could reset their game on demand, and Arryn did exactly that.
In a 2025 season full of new experiences, the Coastal Classic added a specific skill to the resume, the ability to pack up mid-tournament, walk into an unfamiliar building, and keep competing at a high level. That adaptability would pay off again and again on the road ahead.
