MIRA MESA LANES!!!!!

champs and finalists from each day (click to enlarge)

    The miracle of bowling returning to Mira Mesa was celebrated by great JBT bowling by all ages and averages, and over $4,200 in scholarships awarded in terrific Southern California Conference action.

    The lanes played tricky on Saturday, and Allex Zieg was able to grind out the marks to beat Kyler Orosco for the scratch title, his third career win.  In handicap, San Diego's Maikayla Villa showed no signs of rust, bowling great all day and stopping all-conference points leader Kendall Bollea for her second career title. 

    Sunday, Cryuss Tehrani moved from behind the desk to on the lanes, and ended up playing fellow Mira Mesa staffer Zach Greim for the title.  Cyruss was able to string the strikes, for win #4 of his JBT career, but a breakthrough first scratch title.  Jacob McGough continued his fantastic season in handicap, beating Ethan Chambers for his second win of the season.

    Villa and Avery Domaguin claimed the Priority Girls Scratch titles on the weekend, while Bollea and Stephen Abkin bested the U17 fields for those subdivision wins.  Hunter Mayes and Devin Thornton won Ebonite balls, courtesy of our amazing title sponsor.

    Monumental thanks to Drew and the team at Mira Mesa for making this great weekend a possibility!  Want in on all this fun for all skill levels?  Just check out our schedule and come on down, that's all you have to do!  

scroll below for Sunday results!

Date: Saturday & Sunday April 10 & 11 (These are TWO separate one-day singles tournaments.  You can bowl only Saturday, only Sunday, or both.)

Start Time: Saturday qualifying is at 1 PM.   Sunday qualifying is at 10 AM. 

Re-entries?:  There is only one qualifying squad at each event, so there are no re-entries allowed at these events. 

Reservations:  Please email director@bowljbt.com to reserve a spot.  You can prepay (not required) at the 'Prepaying' section of this website.  Reservations (paid or unpaid) must check in no later than 15 minutes before start time.  At that time, all bowlers will be taken on a first come, first serve basis until the field is full.

Format: These are two separate one day events.  Saturday, all bowlers roll 5 games in the qualifying round.  The top 40% of each division rolls three additional games.  The top 4 then do a stepladder finals.  Sunday, all bowlers roll 5 games in the first rond.  The top 40% to a maximum of 16 bowlers per division advance to head to head matchplay, two game total pinfall in rounds of 16 and 8..

Divisions/ Averages:  Scratch or handicap.  It is the bowlers' choice of division.  Also, everyone age 16 or under as of 8/1/20 is automatically entered in the U-17 side event.   Also, every female is automatically entered in the Girls Scratch side event.   If this is your first JBT event this season, we will be asking for average info.  In most cases, your highest average from any current form of organized competition of at least 15 games is what we need.  If you bowl in multiple leagues / clubs, bring everything and we'll sort it out for you.  After your first JBT event, your average is re-rated before every JBT event according to JBT rules.  Please see JBT Rule 13 for complete details.   If you haven't bowled organized competition since shutdown last March, we likely need what your average was at that time.  If it was a USBC league that average should be on www.bowl.com .  Otherwise, it might take some digging to track down your average- give yourself time to do so!

Points:  This event counts for So Cal Conference and All-Conference points.  Points qualify you for the big money season-ending Invitationals and Touring Players Championship, so get all you can.  Visit the 'statistics' section of the website to check on your points.

Entry fee: $40 handicap; $50 scratch.  Scholarship brackets are available for $2 each.  Raffle tickets for Ebonite bowling balls, and our PowerBowl and '25' jackpots, are available on-site. 

Covid details: JBT events follow- at least- all local Covid safety protocols, which you must be prepared for.  This will likely include but not be limited to wearing masks at all times, and maintaining 6 feet of social distancing from non-family members.  Please stay posted so you're not surprised about anything required of you.  Per Mira Mesa's owners, a MAX of one parent/guardian per bowler is allowed, and face coverings are to be worn at all times.  Please be prepared to respect these rules.

Scholarships: 1:6 in each division earn scholarships, scratch and handicap.  Minimum prizes in scratch are $250, $125, $75, $50.  In handicap, $200, $100, $60, $40.  Bowlers must finish in the top 4 once this season to qualify for that conference's Invitational, which features $1,000 for first place.  Bowlers who finish in the top 20 in a conference's points race, or the top 100 in all-conference points, qualify for the Touring Players Championship, featuring $2,000 for first.

Lane conditions: conditions vary from event to event, and are not posted prior to the event (unless otherwise announced).  Some events do not post the pattern until after qualifying.  Be ready for anything- it makes you a better bowler!  Check out previous patterns and corresponding cut scores at the 'lane conditions' section of this website.

Dress code:  Anything goes EXCEPT tank tops, hats, gym shorts, clothing promoting alcohol, drugs, or firearms, or excessively ripped or short clothing, subject solely to the director's discretion.  However, bowlers wearing slacks or dress shorts/skirts, and a 'name shirt' or PBA-style 'dye-sub' shirt, or college or high school team shirt, earn an extra 10 points on their season-long points total.  If you're not sure about dress code, check with us.  If you're new to us, about 95% of the bowlers do dress in the 'bonus' dress code, and those points become very important, so plan accordingly.
