PAC NW DOUBLES

champs and runners-up teams

        A jam-packed field enjoyed a fun-filled day at the annual JBT Pac NW Doubles Classic, with two talented teams claiming the top prizes.

        Liam Hardman has had an amazing autumn on tour, and he continued it by teaming with Tyler Coates for a 233-212 win over Mac Kaurin and Tyler Cruz.  A strike-filled round two saw Liam and Tyler escape from talented Canadians Adam Jodoin and Simon Dyck 268-246.  Top seeds Kenji London and Colt Jance used an early 290 game from Colt and two semifinal matchplay wins to vault to the top spot.  They showed no fear against their hard-charging opponents, throwing great shots to win 227-211 and claim their second and fifth career JBT titles respectively.

        The Mattingly family team of Mason and Cindy began the handicap stepladder finals with a 172-155 win over the brother duo of Keiden and Kobe Cabanting.  The penultimate match couldn't have been closer, as Tamia Yeager and Chloe Bartlett eeked out a 165-164 win over the Mattinglys to advance to the final game.

        Jade Walters and Spencer Dessart had grabbed the top seed in the final game by just a few pins over Chloe and Tamia, but they got their revenge in the final, cruising to the win and the first career JBT title for the rapidly improving Yeager.  Big thanks to the team at Bowlero for hosting, and to all of the adult bowlers taking time to bowl with today's kids in one of our favorite weekends every year.  Want in on all this fun?  Just check out our schedule and come on down!

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, the vast majority of the bowlers do dress in the 'bonus' dress code, and those points become very important, so plan accordingly.
