Seattle, Cliff Castle results posted!

       Four thrilling JBT tournaments in Washington and Arizona kicked off the 2009-10 season in fine fashion, with over $7,000 in scholarships awarded to all averages and ages from 4 to 22--- yes, FOUR.  We hope you're always reading all the recaps from recent JBT events, even those not in your area, so make sure to read through them all to see what we're talking about!  Complete final results from Imperial, Acme, and Cliff Castle, all the updated stats, stories, pictures, and everything else in the wild world of JBT is all at www.bowljbt.com, so please visit it often.

      Thanks again for the very special surprise Sunday as yours truly got even older right in front of your eyes- it's moments like that that I'll remember decades from now, not the rare not-so-good stuff.  I'm humbled.

Oregon, So Cal, and New Mexico all in action this weekend!

    There is JBT action for everyone this weekend, with doubleheaders at 20th Century Lanes in Portland, Holiday Bowl in Albuquerque, and Del Rosa Lanes in San Bernardino- wow!  Here's a more detailed look:

    Holiday Bowl, Albuquerque NM-  The season opener for the NM-TX Conference starts at 12:30 PM Saturday, and 10 AM Sunday.  As always, you can bowl wither one, or hopefully, both.  Holiday is always a terrific host, and the points you earn in September are just as important as the points you earn in May, so don't miss the kickoff events to a great season!

    20th Century Lanes, Portland OR-    The first Oregon stop of the new season is at this great Portland center, which has seen some thrilling JBT finishes in the past.  Saturday is a huge early-season day, as it offers DOUBLE POINTS for your finishing position, so it's a great opportunity to establish yourself (or catch up to Jordan) in the Pac NW points race.  Saturday is also a JBT Women's Series event.  Will Natalie make it 2 in a row, or will another talented female step up and earn her chance at $1,000 in the Girls Invitational?  Spread the word for a great weekend in the Northwest- don't miss it!

    Camp Bakes Challenge at Del Rosa Lanes, San Bernardino CA-   This is one of our biggest regular season event sponsorships ever.  In addition to all the regular JBT excitement, check this out:  the highest scratch division points scorer on the weekend will win a free entry to Camp Bakes, a great clinic, which is also a ONE THOUSAND DOLLAR value.  Holy cow!!!   That's plenty reason alone to not miss this event- please help us make sure all our scratch bowlers know about this event.  Del Rosa is only a 4 hour drive from Phoenix and Las Vegas, so bowlers from that area should really consider the trip.  Of course, it's also the season-opening weekend for So Cal, a chance to get an early jump on points, and Sunday is another JBT Women's Series event- so a jam-packed, fun weekend on tap for sure.  One more tease for you- on one of the days, we'll use a lane condition never before used at a JBT event!   Check out the 'lane conditions' section of the website if you're new to JBT and want to find out more about our innovative program.

September 19-20: Red Rock Lanes, Las Vegas NV

        Las Vegas is a city where most bowling centers make you go 'whoa', but this place makes you go "WHOA!!"  It's been a long time in the works to get JBT a weekend at Red Rock, but we got it!  The center, which hosts the PBA Tour Tournament of Champions, will kick off the Mojave Conference next weekend with events Saturday at Noon and Sunday at 9 AM.  We really want to show our appreciation to the center by making this a huge weekend, and with no other JBT events that weekend, we hope people will come from all conferences for a fun weekend at this glitzy facility.  Make your plans now!

Plan out the rest of the schedule too!

     Now is the time to make plans for Main Event, Best in the West, the Doubles and Team events, and all the other great regular season action on our fall schedule.  Make sure to make www.jbttravel.com your one-stop destination for all your hotel, car, and flight needs.

See you soon!

  We'll see you this weekend for a great time at JBT events all over the place!  Spread the word, folks, it's the only way we exist!
