Format: In this Doubles event, one bowler must be under age 22 as of 8/27/10 (and not a past or present PBA member). The partner can be anyone, without restriction (another ‘junior’, an ‘adult’, even PBA members). Teams roll 4 games across 8 lanes in the qualifying round. The top 40% of each field then bowls 3 additional games of matchplay. The top 5 teams then bowl a Baker-format stepladder finals.

Host: Texas Station Bowling Center scratch only event (but anyone may enter)

Format: Do you have the guts? Bowlers will roll one game to determine position, then randomly draw for placement in a bracket. (example: If 40 bowlers enter, the top 32 scores will get a one-game ‘bye’ in the bracket, while 33-40 have to play the first game. If an exact bracket multiple of bowlers enter (16, 32, 64, etc.) no first game will be bowled. Bowlers will then play one-game, single elimination matches until one bowler is standing!

Prize Fund: 60% of the prize fund to the winner, 20% to the runner-up, 10% each to 3^rd-4^th. On just 32 entries, that’s $1,920 for 1^st. place! $2,500 maximum first place scholarship (50 entries); additional prizes for 5^th-8^th will be added beyond 50 entries.

Note: When else are you going to get a chance at an event like this? Help us spread the word to the ‘big dawgs’!

Host: Texas Station Bowling Center scratch only event (but anyone may enter)

Format: Bowlers will roll 5 games across 10 lanes. The top 5 bowlers (top 8 if entries exceed 50) then bowl a stepladder finals. Optional scholarship brackets will be available. Bowlers must use only a plastic, polyester, plastic viz-a-ball, or rubber ball with a ‘pancake’ or similar type weight block (no dynamic cores). Please ask if you have any concerns over a ball’s legality.

Prize Fund: 1:6 entries earn scholarship prizes based on their final standings.

Note: Scholarship winners may have their equipment checked to verify ball composition, etc. Please don’t ruin the spirit of the competition by trying to get sneaky with the ball you use. We will catch you.

Format: Bowlers will roll 5 games across 10 lanes. The top 5 bowlers (top 8 if entries exceed 50) then bowl a stepladder finals. Optional scholarship brackets will be available. Each pair of lanes will have one lane pattern on the left lanes, and a very different pattern on the right lanes.

Prize Fund: 1:6 entries earn scholarship prizes based on their final standings.

Host: Texas Station Bowling Center scratch only event using ‘low ball’ scoring

Format: Bowlers will roll 3 games across 6 lanes. The top 8 bowlers then bowl a matchplay finals (top 16 if 32+ entries)

Prize Fund: 1:6 entries earn scholarship prizes based on their final standings.

Note: In low-ball, the object is to bowl the lowest score possible. However, you must hit at least one pin on each shot. If you gutter on your first shot in a frame, it counts as a strike. If you gutter or hit no pins on your second shot, it counts as a spare. So, a perfect score would be 20. This is a great test of skills and guts, and matchplay adds a whole extra element to it. So fun!

Format: Bowlers will roll 3 team games on the same pair. There is no ‘cut’, semifinals, or finals. The highest team total after the last squad wins the championship. Bowlers may re-enter with the same or different partners as much as they wish, and may ‘cash’ multiple times.

Prize Fund: $1,000/ team guaranteed first place. 1:10 entries earn scholarship prizes based on their final standings.

Note: Re-oiling is at the times listed above, so choose your squad times with that in mind.

Prize Fund: $1,000/ team guaranteed first place. 1:8 teams earn scholarship prizes based on their final standings.

Note: The Main Event Singles cut scores will be calculated and announced during the Team event, so it’s a great way to ‘kill some time’ while we crunch the numbers!

Note: This is a regular season JBT event, and counts for Arizona AND Mojave Conference JBT points. More details are available at the ‘schedules’ section of www.bowljbt.com. Kingman is less than two hours south of Vegas, and a lot of people use this as a great side trip, or a ‘wrapup’ on their way home. Note that AZ time is one hour ahead of Vegas time.

10. Ties: Ties for the final semifinal spot will be broken by a one game rolloff at 8 AM Dec. 28. Ties for the final spot in the finals will be broken by a two-frame rolloff. Ties in the finals will be broken by a one ball rolloff in scratch divisions and a two frame rolloff in the handicap division. Ties for final positions 17 and above (9 and above in Girls Scratch) will split any position prize money.

11. Attire: Bowlers are requested to wear slacks (slacks or skirts / skorts for girls), and a collared shirt. “Name shirts” or shirts promoting your local leagues / clubs are encouraged.

Directors’ decisions are final- if you’re not sure, don’t wear it!

12. Discipline: Proper behavior is demanded of all bowlers and requested of all spectators. Any abuse of bowling center equipment, audible obscenity, or other unbecoming conduct will result in 1) warning and/or 2) disqualification, subject to the sole discretion of tournament management. You may not get caught every time, but if you test us, you’ll get caught eventually. Parents are expected to set a good example and abide by the same rules.

13. Scholarships: Scholarships will be awarded to at least 1:10 entrants in each singles division based on final standings, with the posted guarantees.

FOR THE MAIN EVENT (singles, doubles, team): Handicap division bowlers must submit 1) their JBT average as of November 15, 2010; if none, 2) their HIGHEST 2010-11 average of 15 games or more, as of November 15, 2010, including any traveling leagues / tours, high school bowling, or non-USBC certified leagues. Bowlers with less than 15 games as of 11/15 must submit their average from the week they reach 15 games in 10-11 league/tour play. Bowlers who do not reach 15 games by 12/17 will have their current 10-11 average split with 200. Bowlers submitting ‘sport’, ‘PBA Experience’, or any ‘non house’ averages MUST report that the average they are stating is such, and are subject to re-rating prior to event start. If you mail your entry early, be sure to bring proof with you, or fax to us at 1-888-788-4961 by 12/16. Any average discovered to be incorrect, inadvertently or not, will result in that bowlers’ disqualification, forfeiture of all scholarships earned at the event, and suspension from future JBT events, subject to the sole discretion of tournament management. Bowlers who do not provide average proof will not be able to bowl in the semifinal or final rounds, or ‘cash’ in any side event.

FOR THE SIDE EVENTS 12/18-23 and 12/29: Bowlers must submit their CURRENT highest average (as of the day of the event) in the same manner described above. (This is because some of the side events are part of our regular season JBT Tour and we don’t want bowlers entering with averages as of two different dates in the same event).

TO SUMMARIZE: If you’re bowling the Main Events and some side events, we’ll need your 11/15 average and your average as of the day you leave for Vegas. Send your 11/15 average in advance if you can, and bring the current one with you to Vegas.

15. Rules not covered herein will be subject to 1) JBT / then 2) USBC rulebooks. Tournament management reserves all rights regarding the operation of this event.

HOTEL INFORMATION: Texas Station Hotel is offering special rates to bowlers of the Main Event. You must book rooms by December 8 for these rates. Call 1-800-654-8888 and tell them your group is the Junior Bowlers Tour. Rooms sold out VERY early last year- please book as soon as possible!
