AMF DESERT HILLS

champs and finalists

            Cesar Padilla reached a tremendous milestone, while 10 year-old Maggie Murillo won her first, in exciting JBT Arizona Conference action at AMF Desert Hills Lanes in Phoenix.

            Padilla was stuck in the lower end of the matchplay bowlers before blasting a 277 on the challenging lanes to get into the final four.  He then survived in a three way match between him, Nicholas Barrieault, and Asher Toberer, to reach the title match against rapidly improving Jason Gootzeit.  Jason was strong all day, but could do nothing against the suddenly red hot Padilla, whose only miss was in the second frame.  The 280-181 final makes Cesar only the 58th bowler in our 28 year history to reach the 10-title plateau!

            Sixteen handicap semifinalists were carved down to four, and in the three-way penultimate game, Sam Winemiller's 214 was just enough to edge Caden Henk's 208 and Terrell Coates' 200 and advance to the title match.  Top seed Murillo awaited, and Maggie remained tough in the final, marking enough for a 210-197 win over Winemiller and capture her first career JBT title.

            Paityn Gaines won the day's girls scratch subdivision with a win over Jadeyn Mabry.  Gootzeit was consoled with a win over Toberer for the day's U17 win.  Daunte Uribarri took home a ball of his choice from the Brands of Brunswick, our title sponsor.  Big thanks to the team at Desert Hills for a great job hosting us in our first visit to the center since 2008!

TOTAL AWARDED THIS EVENT: $2,220

 

 

Date: Saturday March 2, 2024  (This is ONE tournament that is one day long, open to anyone age 21 & under as of 8/1/23). 

Start Time: Bowling begins at 11 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. 40% of the field advances to the 'sprint' semifinals, with the top 4 bowling a two-game stepladder.  

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 Arizona 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 Arizona points, plus anyone who had TWO top-5 finishes in Arizona 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.  There is generally plenty of room for walk-ins / late entries, and we'll  post here clearly if an event is nearing sellout or sold out.

no.
