024 Gold COast

GOLD COAST

champs and finalists

Elias O'Hollaren and Isabella Smith wrapped up the Mojave Conference regular season with big wins at Gold Coast Bowling Center in Las Vegas.

Zach Greim made a successful return to the scratch division stepladder finals with a 227-178 win over last week's Mountain Invite runner-up John Green. Zach then stopped #2 qualifier JT Verde to advance to the final game. Top seed and good friend Elias O'Hollaren awaited. Elias and Zach have battled often since both were in U17 (Elias still is), but it was O'Hollaren who both owned this event, firing the only 300 game of the day to take a lead he never relinquished, and got the break in the title game, squeezing out a narrow 206-204 win. It's O'Hollaren's 18th career JBT title, the active leader in that category with a long time left to go!

TJ Hardy won an exciting round one against Nicholas Dorn, 231-220, but the fourth place finish was all Dorn needed to qualify for the next day's Invitational- no small feat against an 80 bowler field. Newcomer Smith then threw all three strikes in the tenth to shut out Hardy 249-223 and advance to the title game. Top seed Dallas Zuniga had outpaced the high scoring field all day, leading six of the eight rounds. However, he could not find the look on the championship pair, while the rapidly improving Smith showed no signs of slowing down. Isabella win the game going away for the first title of her JBT career in her first attempt!

O'Hollaren doubled his pleasure by beating JT 199-196 for the U17 subdivision win, while Ashley Soto beat Lindsay Greim in a wonderful Girls Scratch final 233-226. Big thanks to Louis and the team at Gold Coast for a great job hosting our Tour for the first time in quite a while! The field is now set for the 2024 Mojave Invitational, with $1,000 top scholarship prizes awaiting the champs!

TOTAL AWARDED THIS EVENT: $3,837

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

This event is at or near sellout. Please verify your reservation below, and contact us with any changes, so we do not create unnecessary wait lists.

Start Time: Bowling begins at 9 AM, with an attempt to start practice at 8:50. 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. Semifinalists bowl two additional games, with the top 4 advancing to the finals.

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 Mojave 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 THIS EVENT, the top 32 in Mojave points, plus anyone who had TWO top-5 finishes in Mojave 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.
