JBT Online Update 11/18/09
Phoenix results posted!
Congratulations to all our champions and prize winners from an
exciting weekend in Las Vegas and Albuquerque! Complete final
standings, as well as all the updated,stats, stories, videos, records, and
everything else related to the wild, wonderful world of JBT are all now
updated at the best website in junior bowling, www.bowljbt.com.
Please take the time to explore through the website, especially if you haven't
lately- we think you'll have a lot of fun seeing just how much we have to
offer.
Pac NW this
weekend!
Coming up
this weekend is a terrific Pac NW doubleheader! Saturday we're at
Hazel Dell Lanes in Vancouver, and should have plenty of room for everyone-
spread the word about what we do that is only available at JBT events, and
we'll have a great day! We begin at Noon, so please allow
yourself enough travel time- it looks like a rainy weekend is in
store. Sunday is a popular stop at Milwaukie Bowl- and this 16-lane
center can only hold 64 entries, which is less than we're averaging per event
in the Pac NW this year. If you're planning to bowl Sunday, we suggest
you prepay. You can pay by credit card at the 'sign me up!' section of
the website, or you can prepay for Sunday at Saturday's event. if you
wait until Sunday, please arrive very early for the 10 AM start. Either
way, 64 is an absolute limit, so once it's full, it's full. Don't be shut
out!
Best in the West just
around the corner!
We're less than two weeks away from the first JBT 'major' of the season, the
Best in the West tournament, at BRC Mesa in the Phoenix area. Even though
it only counts for Arizona (and all-conference) points, it's still one that we
hope bowlers from all 5 JBT conferences will attend. It's well worth it,
too- $500 minimum for first place, a 2-day format with 60% of bowlers
advancing, and without a doubt the most unique, fun format you've ever
bowled. Check out the details at the 'schedule' page of the
website.
AZ, Pac NW Baker events
coming soon!
The So Cal Baker was a great team-oriented event, and you have 2 more chances
to get in on the Baker fun this December. We have Baker events 12/13
in Phoenix and 12/13 in Seattle. It's only $20 per person, and a unique
chance to experience the team spirit of Baker action. Remember, the
10/15 average cutoff has passed, and that's the average you use
to determine eligibility. Each team MUST have at least one bowler
averaging 180 or under as of 10/15/09. Check the 'averages' section of
the 'statistics' page, where you can view 10/15 bowler
averages. We even put up a separate list of bowlers who are
just under the 180 cutoff to be even more helpful- if you're on that list,
you're a valuable commodity! Remember also that your Baker team can have
up to two adult bowlers (which in JBT-speak means bowlers age 22 and over as of
8/29/09), and that the adult can be the under-180 bowler- so, some pretty
creative teams can be made- go wild! I have a few bowlers looking for
teams as well. Drop us a line if you have any questions.
New dates on the
schedule page!
Head on
over to the 'schedule' page of the website, where new dates are now posted,
with more coming every day. There's some great stuff on there-- check it
out, and we'll talk about it more when we get the schedule finalized!
Doubles coming up soon!
Our
December Doubles events are coming soon, starting with December 6 in So
Cal and New Mexico. In our doubles events, each team must have at least
one JBT-eligible bowler, and your partner can be literally anyone else.
These are always some of our most fun and exciting events of the year, so be
thinking about your partners!
See you soon!
We'll
see you this weekend, or at JBT events in the near future!
