We analyzed the relationship between center equipment configuration and the rate of missing bowl events across 155 centers over the last month. Scoring hardware generation is the dominant predictor of missing bowl events, explaining ~92% of the variance. Centers running legacy (pre-BES X) scoring hardware experience missing event rates of 25-72%, while centers on current-generation BES X hardware consistently show rates below 1%.
- Dependent variable: Percent of completed games with missing bowl events per center (logit-transformed to handle the bounded 0-100% range)
- Independent variables: Conqueror version (bucketed), scoring hardware, pinsetter manufacturer/model
