2013 Main Event Open Scratch Singles

champion Oscar Chan & runner-up Riley Dempsey

        Oscar Chan of Diamond Bar, CA defeated Riley Dempsey of Phoenix, AZ, 229-211, to win the Open Scratch Singles division of the 2013 JBT Las Vegas Main Event, presented by Ebonite International and hosted by Texas Star Lanes.

        Chan just snuck in as the number 10 seed for the finals, and began with a 196 game that just got by #5 Tim Jacob (192) and #7 Michael Coffey (162).  In a simultaneous three-way match, #8 Armando Godoy threw the high game of the entire tournament with a 279 that easily got by #6 Tanner Spacey (170) and #9 Shane Valleau (203). 

        In round two, Oscar won another close one, 195-188 over Zack Hattori, while Godoy won another not-so-close one, 223-169 over Michael Tang.  Top seed Dempsey then slowed down Godoy 201-181, while Chan continued his run with a 184-163 grindout over #2 Brandon Pekins, setting up a title match between two JBT veterans.

        15-time champ Dempsey was looking to add another major title to his excellent resume, while Chan, who has had more than his share of frustrating stepladder losses in his career, was looking to complete the unlikely ladder-climb.  Oscar started with a five-bagger, but Dempsey charged back with a late 4-bagger of his own to make it close.  However, a missed spare from Riley in his tenth sealed his fate, and Chan's 229-211 win earned his his first JBT major, and the $3,000 top prize.

        Thanks to Dave Wodka and Ebonite International for being a major part of Main Event as well as our year-round Tour, as well as Jerry Francomano and the Texas Star crew for their usual terrific hosting job.  Over $22,000 was awarded over four days of intense competition- make sure to be a part of the 2014 Main Event as well as other terrific JBT tournaments throughout the year!
