MESA EAST BOWL

champs and finalists

            Cesar Padilla remained red hot, while Caden Henk needed OT to win his first, in exciting JBT Arizona Conference action at Mesa East Bowl.

            Dylan Donahue began the scratch division stepladder finals with a 237-226 win over Harper Schmidt.  Strikes kept coming in the semifinals, as Drew Merrell stopped Donahue 269-246.  Top seed Padilla began March with a sweep at Desert Hills, and put on a strike clinic to lead this high scoring event.  He kept it up in the finale, locking out Merrell in the tenth for a 237-224 win, and the 12th title of his JBT career.

            RJ Grace won the opening round of the handicap division stepladder finals 227-214 over Keegan Olson.  Logan Trujillo then beat Grace 243-186 to advance to the finals.  Trujillo hasn't been in a title match since a doubleheader sweep in Albuquerque three seasons ago, and had his hands full with top seed Henk, as they engaged in a lower-scoring, back and forth match.  Needing eighteen in the tenth to win, Trujillo spared but then got seven on the fill, resulting in a 193 tie.  Caden took advantage of the second chance by coming up with his only double of the match, plenty to win the tiebreak and his first career JBT title.

             Nathan Harnit claimed the U17 subdivision crown with a win over Gage Baker, while Jadeyn Mabry kept in rolling in Girls Scratch with a win ovr Mackenzie Paige.  Huge thanks as always to the team at Mesa East for a super smooth hosting job.  Want in on all this fun for all skill levels?  Just check out our schedule and come on down!

TOTAL AWARDED THIS EVENT: $2,936

 

 

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.

Date: Saturday March 30, 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 Noon.  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 each field bowls two additional games, and the top 4 then advance to a stepladder finals.  

Divisions/ Averages:  Scratch or handicap.  It is the bowlers' choice of division.  Also, everyone age 16 or under as of 8/1/23 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. 

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.
