2020 JBT Las Vegas Main Event- Handicap Singles

champ Gavin Fernandez & Jessica Handa

        Gavin Fernandez defeated Jessica Handa to win the handicap singles division of the 2020 JBT Las Vegas Main Event at the South Point Bowling Plaza in Las Vegas.

        Fernandez earned the $1,700 top prize the hard way, winning four matches as the number 5 seed.  He got past #8 Audrey Andrews, #4 Lucas Wilson in a high scoring thriller, and top seed Kelcey Aczon-Kawamura to get to the final.  On the other side of the bracket, #7 Sean Brackett bear #6 Cora Lerma, followed that with a one-pin win over #3 Zachary Gonzalez, but then fell to #2 Handa in the semifinals.

        Jessica finally got it going in the second half of the title match, but it was too late, as the rapidly improving Hernandez captured the Main Event title with the win over Handa.

        Huge thanks to the team at South Point for making this event possible, as well as everyone for attending.  The 2021 Main Event returns to South Point December 26-30, spread the word and make your plans!
