CAL BOWL

champs and finalists

            It's Planet Abigania, and we're all just guests.  While Katelyn was off challenging the adult ladies in a women's regional, the boys took over, with Josh winning scratch and Jon winning handicap in tremendous JBT action at Lakewood's Cal Bowl.

            After five games, bowlers moved on to matchplay brackets.  Josh qualified as the #2 seed, enjoyed a first round bye, then beat Bryce Aquiningoc and Kyler Orosco to get to the title match.  On the other side of the bracket, #12 Tyler Castronova got through a gauntlet of Brandon Rother, Elias O'Hollaren, and Kasey Fujioka to reach the title match.  Tyler is getting closer and closer to winning a title, but Josh has been on a roll this season, and kept it going with a close win over Castronova for the eighth title of his JBT career.

            A 'play-in' game allowed a 24-bowler handicap bracket, and that worked out well for Yairi Lubag, who grabbed the last spot, won his play-in game, then upset top seed Stevan Saldivar.  Next up was his sister though, and big brother showed no mercy with a win over Aislinn, followed with a semifinal win over Chase Simmons, to reach the final.  On the bottom half of the bracket, Jon had a one round bye then worked his way through Christian Jimeno, Troyace Powers, and Jerry Wang to advance against Lubag for the title.  In the last game, Abigania remained in control, and claimed the 4th title of his young JBT career with the win.

            Stephanie Hong defeated Jazmyn Beck to claim the day's Girls Scratch title, while O'Hollaren beat top qualifier Benaiah McElroy for the U17 crown.  Thanks as always to the team at Cal for hosting a busy day!  Want in on all this fun for everyone?  Just check out our schedule and come on down!

TOTAL AWARDED THIS EVENT: $3,073

 

 

 

 

 

 

Date: Saturday April 29, 2023  (This is ONE tournament that is one day long, open to anyone age 21 & under as of 8/1/22). 

Start Time: Bowling begins at Noon.

Re-entries?:  There's only one qualifying squad, so there are no re-entries this event..

Reservations:  Please email director@bowljbt.com to reserve a spot.  You can prepay (not required) at the 'Prepaying' section of this website, or scan this QR code to use Venmo:    .  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: Qualifying round is 5 games.  The top 40% advance to the 'play-in' round to get to the round of 16 matchplay.    Format details may (very rarely) be adjusted any time up until event start time if space/time necessitates.   

Divisions/ Averages:  Scratch or handicap.  It is the bowlers' choice of division.  Also, everyone age 16 or under as of 8/1/22 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.  If you don't have 15+ games in any organized competition this season, we need your finishing 21-22 average, and any 2022 summer averages.  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.

Points:  This event counts for Southern California 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.  As the end of the season, the top 32 in Southern California Conference points, plus anyone who had a top-4 finish in a Southern California Conference event this season, advance to their respective Invitationals.

Entry fee: $60.  Scholarship brackets are available for $2 each.  Raffle tickets for Ebonite bowling balls, and our PowerBowl and '27' jackpots, are available on-site. 

Sponsor Incentive bonuses:  1) IAM Bowling: Bowlers making the final match of an event (scratch or handicap) wearing an IAM patch (good), any IAM shirt (better), or an IAM JBT shirt (best) earn point bonuses towards a $5,000 IAM incentive jackpot.  (The IAM patch is requested to be worn by all bowlers).   2) Virtue Bowling: Bowlers making the final match of an event (scratch or handicap, win or lose), using a Virtue Bowling shirt or patch, and a Virtue drilled ball, earn a $25 Virtue gift card.  

Covid details: JBT events follow- at least- all local Covid safety protocols, which you must be prepared for.   Please stay posted so you're not surprised about anything required of you. 

Scholarships: 1:6 in each division earn scholarships, scratch and handicap.  Minimum prizes are $300, $150, $100, $60.  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 $2,500 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, 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, the vast majority of the bowlers do dress in the 'bonus' dress code, and those points become very important, so plan accordingly.

RESERVED BOWLERS:

This reservation is an expectation that you will be bowling.  PLEASE do not forget to contact us if you need to cancel or adjust your reservation.  Repeated 'no-shows' may result in you not being able to reserve a spot.  This list may not be updated after the Friday of the event as we travel, etc.  However, walk-ins / late entries are still gladly accepted as space permits.  There is generally plenty of room for walk-ins / late entries, and we'll  post here clearly if an event is nearing sellout or sold out.

no.
