PAHRUMP NUGGET

champs and finalists

            Gage Baker and Haoxuan Yang captured JBT titles in our Tour's first visit to the Pahrump Nugget in twelve years!

            Strikes were needed to advance to the matchplay bracket on this day, and nobody struck more than scratch top seed Aiden Ruiz-Jimenez.  However, he ran into a buzzsaw in 5-seed Baker, who ran the front nine to beat Aiden 267-224 in one semifinal.   The other semifinal match was a classic, with Nathan Harnit doubling in the tenth for a 232-226 win over Gyrus Alo, whose earlier 298 was the high individual effort on the day.   The title match between the familiar foes was all Gage this time, as he found a great look and rolled to the 258-180 win and his seventh career JBT title.

            Seth Le was the 20th and final qualifier for matchplay, then got on a huge roll, getting all the way to the final with a 245-213 win over Ryland Gregorich.  Meanwhile, Yang won his semifinal match 245-190 over thee Brayden Miller to set up the title match.  Haoxuan showed no nerves in his first finals appearance, rolling a great game to beat Le 235-205 and win his first career JBT title.

            Liberty Acock enjoyed bowling in her home center with a win over Paityn Gaines for the day's Girls Scratch win, while Harnit earlier defeated Alo for the U17 subdivision win.  Big thanks to Mike Sherard and the team at Nugget for a great hosting job in a wonderful return to Pahrump.  Want in on all this fun?  Just drop us an email and reserve your spot in the next JBT today!

This event is at or near sellout.  Please tell your friends to email reservations ASAP, and double check that the list below is accurate.

Date: Saturday March 29, 2025  (This is ONE tournament that is one day long, open to anyone age 21 & under as of 8/1/24). 

Start Time: Bowling begins at 10 AM.

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.  The top 40% of each field, to a maximum of 20, advance to a matchplay bracket.

Divisions/ Averages:  Scratch or handicap.  It is the bowlers' choice of division.  Also, everyone age 16 or under as of 8/1/24 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 23-24 average, and any 2024 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 the season, the top 40 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 '29' 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 120 in all-conference points, qualify for the Touring Players Championship, featuring $2,900 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 to get a good idea of what you might expect.

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 event is at or near sellout.  Please tell your friends to email reservations ASAP, and double check that the list below is accurate.

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.  We'll  post here clearly if an event is nearing sellout or sold out.
