TRIANGLE BOWL

Kailee Wilcox, Ashton Yamasaki, Maddie Rowe, Mary Sicard, Bud Sicard

        Ashton Yamasaki and Kailee Wilcox wrapped up the JBT Pacific Northwest Conference's regular season with big win in exciting action at Longview's Triangle Bowl.

        Mac Kaurin began the scratch division stepladder finals with a grindout 171-166 win over Duncan Whitaker.  Bud Sicard then used two-handed backup balls to stop Mac 204-188 to advance to the final.  Top seed Yamasaki also can throw a mean backup ball, and they both did in the U17 title match won by Bud, but Ashton opted for the 'regular' two-handed hook.  A vicious tenth frame solid-8 gave Bud a chance to double for the win, but when he couldn't get the first hit, Yamasaki had the win and his 5th career JBT title.

        Maddie Rowe made an impressive handicap stepladder debut, with a 241-207 win over Ewan Oester and a 222-188 follow-up over DoHoon Kwon to reach her first title match.  Kailee Wilcox had been dominant all day en route to the top seed, and a strong start to the final game proved decisive in the win, which earned her the second title of her JBT career.

        It was a Sicard Subdivision Seeep, ad Mary took the Girls Scratch title with a win over Kailee.  Hailey Johnson won the day's Ebonite ball, courtesy of our amazing title sponsor.  Huge thanks to Beau and the whole team at the beautiful Triangle Bowl for their usual standout hosting job.  The field is now set for the Pac NW Invitational, with $1,000 top scholarships on the line!

Date: Saturday June 19  (This is ONE tournament that is one day long.  This is the last regular season Pac NW event, and thus your last chance to qualify for or improve your position in the Pac NW Invitational on Sunday).

Start Time: Saturday qualifying squad at 10 AM, one squad only.

Re-entries?:  There's only one qualifying squad, so there are no re-entries this event..

Reservations:  Please email director@bowljbt.com to reserve a spot.  You can prepay (not required) at the 'Prepaying' section of this website.  Reservations (paid or unpaid) must check in no later than 15 minutes before start time.  At that time, all bowlers will be taken on a first come, first serve basis until the field is full.

Format: Qualifying round is 5 games.  The top 40% bowl a 3 game semifinals.. The top 4 then do a stepladder finals.   

Divisions/ Averages:  Scratch or handicap.  It is the bowlers' choice of division.  Also, everyone age 16 or under as of 8/1/20 is automatically entered in the U-17 side event.   Also, every female is automatically entered in the Girls Scratch side event.   If this is your first JBT event this season, we will be asking for average info.  In most cases, your highest average from any current form of organized competition of at least 15 games is what we need.  If you bowl in multiple leagues / clubs, bring everything and we'll sort it out for you.  After your first JBT event, your average is re-rated before every JBT event according to JBT rules.  Please see JBT Rule 13 for complete details.

Points:  This event counts for Pacific Northwest Conference and All-Conference points.  Points qualify you for the big money season-ending Invitationals and Touring Players Championship, so get all you can.  Visit the 'statistics' section of the website to check on your points.  After this event, the top 32 in Pac NW points, plus anyone who had a top-4 finish in a Pac NW JBT event this season, advance to the Invitational.

Entry fee: $40 handicap; $50 scratch.  Scholarship brackets are available for $2 each.  Raffle tickets for Ebonite bowling balls, and our PowerBowl and '25' jackpots, are available on-site. 

Covid details: JBT events follow- at least- all local Covid safety protocols, which you must be prepared for.   Please stay posted so you're not surprised about anything required of you.  As of 6/15, the 'one spectator per bowler' limit has been removed, but the center (and JBT) asks that you still be responsible in not bringing big crowds, distancing where appropriate (every other table on the upper concourse is closed), unvaccinated people still need masks, and masks are optional for vaccinated folks.

Scholarships: 1:6 in each division earn scholarships, scratch and handicap.  Minimum prizes in scratch are $250, $125, $75, $50.  In handicap, $200, $100, $60, $40.  Bowlers must finish in the top 4 once this season to qualify for that conference's Invitational, which features $1,000 for first place.  Bowlers who finish in the top 20 in a conference's points race, or the top 100 in all-conference points, qualify for the Touring Players Championship, featuring $2,000 for first.

Lane conditions: conditions vary from event to event, and are not posted prior to the event (unless otherwise announced).  Some events do not post the pattern until after qualifying.  Be ready for anything- it makes you a better bowler!  Check out previous patterns and corresponding cut scores at the 'lane conditions' section of this website.

Dress code:  Anything goes EXCEPT tank tops, hats, gym shorts, clothing promoting alcohol, drugs, or firearms, or excessively ripped or short clothing, subject solely to the director's discretion.  However, bowlers wearing slacks or dress shorts/skirts, and a 'name shirt' or PBA-style 'dye-sub' shirt, or college or high school team shirt, earn an extra 10 points on their season-long points total.  If you're not sure about dress code, check with us.  If you're new to us, about 95% of the bowlers do dress in the 'bonus' dress code, and those points become very important, so plan accordingly.
