Matt Bainter
Overall: Matt brings a lot to the table in both bowling and holdem. Has flirted with MVG a few times and is always a top 10 gamer!
Bowling: Could be one of the top bowlers in the games. Bowled in college and in leagues for the last 7 years. Just over 200 average. Finished 2nd in B/N with a 450.
Softball Homerun Derby: Plays some softball but not a lot of power. Scored 6 points in Pekin. Stepped up with 39 in B/N. Do we need to check for roids?
Basketball Sure Shot: Decent shooter, very little basketball the past several years. Projected to eek into the top 1/3.
Golf: 2nd year golfer and just a mediocre player with decent short game.
Texas Hold'em: Regularly successful player in home games and Las Vegas cash games over the past 4 years. Top 10 finish in Normal.

Jay Bucy
Overall: Jay has got to be a favorite going into the Sure Shot competition. He brings a solid game in the other 4 sports and if he can improve that bowling rating he might be close to a '5 Tool Getaway Gamer'.
Bowling: Jay fits in with 90% of other Getaway Gamers at about a 140 average.
Softball Homerun Derby: Has some baseball experience but just mediocre power.
Basketball Sure Shot: One of the best highschool basketball players to come out of Lewistown HS. Can flat out shoot it. Should set a precedent for a top Sure Shot score. Pushing the 90 rating!
Golf: Very solid golfer which should make up a bit for Wes and Matt.
Texas Hold'em: Has some experience and can hold his own. Will he be too aggressive?

Billy Lyons
Overall: An overall stud athlete with college football and basketball experience. Can hit the ball a mile, tear up the poker table and bowl with the best. 5 tool Getaway Gamer? Quite possible!
Bowling: Our scouts remember when Billy used to average a 200. That's been a few years - can he still bowl?
Softball Homerun Derby: Dominating and hands down a favorite to win the individual crown. But this is Getaway Games and anything can happen so the pitcher better get Billy some good pitches!
Basketball Sure Shot: 'The Professor' can shoot the ball a bit. Probably his weakest sport but still above average.
Golf: Can hit the ball a mile.
Texas Hold'em: Very experienced at the table.

Chris Whitaker
Overall: Chris is the prototypical Getaway Gamer. Loves sports and can compete at all 5. Probably average or above average in all sports involved. Good guy to have on your team.
Bowling: Decent bowler. No league experience. Should shoot around 150 -160 per game.
Softball Homerun Derby: Competitive Softball player with above average power to all fields. Placed 6th in Pekin.
Basketball Sure Shot: Great shooter, should be in top 10. Placed 7th in Pekin.
Golf: Very consistent golfer with excellent iron game.
Texas Hold'em: Good player with great strategy and getaway games experience.

Andy Thiel
Overall: Andy should be well above average in 4 of the 5 events. If he can heat up shooting the rock, we expect him to complete for 1st team gamer.
Bowling: League bowler for 3 years. 185-190 average. Has not bowled for over a year.
Softball Homerun Derby: College Baseball player with great power to all fields and experience hitting a 16" softball. Should be up near the top.
Basketball Sure Shot: Very little basketball over the past several years. Should be in the middle of the pack.
Golf: Great golfer that hits the ball long and straight. Excellent overall game. Won't need much help.
Texas Hold'em: Good player with great strategy.

Ben Person
Overall: Ben should make for a solid gamer. If he can get that bowling score over 100 or a little luck in hold'em he might be a 4 tool type guy.
Bowling: Throws a straight ball and hasn't bowled for a couple years.
Softball Homerun Derby: Played baseball through highschool and got offers to play in college. Played softball for the past few years, should be able to knock a few out of the park.
Basketball Sure Shot: Good shooter, should be in the top 1/4.
Golf: Playing for about 6 years now, good all around player.
Texas Hold'em: Not a great poker player, but understands the game.

Ryan Finley
Overall: The sign of a true gamer is dedication. Ryan is making the trip 3+ hours to compete in B/N games. He has skills - but can he get the Lions over the hump?
Bowling: Bowled in a league a few years back. Has not bowled much since then but still knows the basics and can throw a decent ball.
Softball Homerun Derby: Weak HR hitter. Our scouts are still debating if he will get one or not?!?!
Basketball Sure Shot: Once he finds the range, can usually shoot 3 pointers pretty well. Is the minute format enough time? Maybe round 2!
Golf: Started playing golf and getting lessons as a child. Been playing ALOT the last 4 years and game is becoming complete.
Texas Hold'em: Loves playing holdem. Been playing pretty seriously for about 3 years now both live and online.
