BOWLIUM LANES

champs and finalists

            Katelyn Abigania and Asa Wang found their way to JBT titles in frantic Southern California Conference action at Montclair's Bowlium.

            In the previous day's scratch stepladder, a mistake from Abigania sparked a ladder climb by Nathan Harnit.  The tables turned in miraculous fashion here today, as she changed a 10th frame sure defeat into amazing victory by sparing the 8-10 to stun Elias O'Hollaren 169-162.    She road that momentum to a 224-181 semifinal win over Jeremy Morris to reach the finals.  Top seed Brendan Bobersky had been brilliant all day, but got into a battle with his friend.  He spared the 9-10 in the ninth, but couldn't spare a tenth frame washout on the challenging lanes, and Katelyn was able to stay clean and notch the win.  It's her 11th career JBT title, making her the winningest female bowler in JBT history, passing Bryanna (Caldwell) Cote- congratulations!!

            It was a ladder climb in handicap as well, as 10 year-old Asa Yang edged Chason Hou in round one 217-206.  He followed with a low scoring 170-168 squeaker over Chase Schwegel to reach the final, where he'd face top seed Jayden Macias.  Jayden is definitely one of the up and coming stars on Tour, as his 5th-best U17 scratch total was enough to help him swipe the lead away from Schwegel in game seven.  He could not find the same look in the title game though, and Asa was able to roll on to his third straight win and the title, the first of his JBT career.

            Katelyn finished off her amazing day with a tenth frame strike to beat Lindsay Greim for the girls scratch title, while O'Hollaren was able to earn U17 with an earlier win over Tyler Castronova.  We were also thrilled to have JBT sponsor RecruitUS join us for a presentation on the college application process prior to the event.  Big thanks as always to Al and the Bowlium team for hosting our sold-out event.  Want in on all this fun and so much more?  Just check out our schedule and come on down!

TOTAL AWARDED THIS EVENT: $3,115

 

 

 

 

Date: Sunday March 17, 2024  (This is ONE singles tournament that is one day long, open to anyone age 21 & under as of 8/1/23). 

Start Time: Bowling begins at 10 AM.  Please be on line to check in no later than 30 minutes prior to start time.  We are usually ready to check in 90 minutes-two hours prior to start time.

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.  Round two formats vary week to week to keep it fresh and exciting, and are released no later than the week of the event.   

Divisions/ Averages:  Scratch or handicap.  It is the bowlers' choice of division.  Also, everyone age 16 or under as of 8/1/23 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.  If you don't have 15+ games in any organized competition this season, we need your finishing 22-23 average, and any 2023 summer averages.  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 So Cal 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.  At the end of the season, the top 32 in So Cal points, plus anyone who had TWO top-5 finishes in So Cal events this season, advance to their respective Invitationals.

Entry fee: $60.  Scholarship brackets are available for $2 each.  Raffle tickets for bowling balls from the brands of Brunswick, and our PowerBowl and '28' jackpots, are available on-site. 

Sponsor Incentive bonuses:  1) IAM Bowling: Bowlers making the final match of an event (scratch or handicap) wearing an IAM patch (good), any IAM shirt (better), or an IAM JBT shirt (best) earn point bonuses towards a $5,000 IAM incentive jackpot.  (The IAM patch is requested to be worn by all bowlers).   2) Virtue Bowling: Bowlers making the final match of an event (scratch or handicap, win or lose), using a Virtue Bowling shirt or patch, and a Virtue drilled ball, earn a $25 Virtue gift card.  

Scholarships: 1:6 in each division earn scholarships, scratch and handicap.  Minimum prizes are $300, $150, $100, $60.  Bowlers must finish in the top 5 twice this season in that conference 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 $2,800 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, or even at all.  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, 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.

RESERVED BOWLERS:

This reservation is an expectation that you will be bowling.  PLEASE do not forget to contact us if you need to cancel or adjust your reservation.  Repeated 'no-shows' may result in you not being able to reserve a spot.  This list may not be updated after the Friday of the event as we travel, etc.  However, walk-ins / late entries are still gladly accepted as space permits. 

This event is nearing sellout.  Be sure to check your reservation on the roster below and contact us immediately with any changes.
