CANYON LANES at Morongo Casino
champs & finalists
Brandon Rother and Brian Rossi bowled their way to JBT victory in exciting Southern California Conference action at Morongo Casino's Canyon Lanes.
In a quick format to finish in time for football, the 2,3, and 4 seeds advanced to a three-way semifinal match after six games. That can be scary for the #2 seeds, but neither had trouble. In scratch, Gage Baker flew as high as his beloved Elgaesls, blasting a 245 to defeat Jazmyn Beck (189) and end thirteen year-old Flynn Iott's impressive day (214). Top seed Brandon Rother awaited, averaging 250+ in qualifying and hanging on to the top spot. Despite this, the title match turned into a grind. Brandon finally struck on the right lane in the ninth frame to crawl to a 185 game, forcing Gage to strike in the tenth to win. A flat-10 stopped Baker though, and Rother earned the 12th title of his JBT career with the dramatic win.
The handicap division penultimate match was about as close as you could get, with Rossi's 198 just edging Aidan Lin's 197, and Cameron Peterson's 190, wow! Awaiting Rossi was Franklin Judd, who suffered a heartbreaking one-pin title match loss the day before. Just like that match, Judd had a lead halfway through, but Brian was able to catch up and pass Franklin, winning the match 235-214 for the second title of his JBT career.
Beck's fine day was capped off with a win over Katelyn Abigania for the Girls Scratch crown, while Rother doubled up with a U17 win over Jeremy Morris. All the runners-up were handsomely compensated though, as they each had the best 2-day total performance to earn a bonus scholarship from Mark Baker Bowling, the sponsor of this event. Gage and Franklin earned $200 each, Katelyn added $100, while Jeremy and Brandon split $100 for a combined results tie.
Our annual Prop Bet contest was a big hit again, with only five bowlers (including Ethan Chambers, getting all 5 questions right for the second straight year!) predicting all the correct results. Max Torres won the random draw, earning FIVE free entries. Devon Gee made up for a rough day on the lanes by somehow knowing the Eagles would score 40 and win, also earning a free entry.
Giant thanks to Paula and the team at Canyon for their usual 'super' hosting job! Want in on all this fun? Check out our upcoming schedule and come on down!

TOTAL AWARDED THIS EVENT: $3,172 |
This event is at or near sellout. Please tell your friends to email reservations ASAP, and double check that the list below is accurate.
Date: Sunday February 9, 2025 (This is ONE tournament that is one day long, open to anyone age 21 & under as of 8/1/24).
Start Time: Bowling begins at 8:30 AM, and is designed to be done in
time for the Tampa Bay game kickoff. :-)
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. 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. 40% of the field bowls 2 additional games, with the top 4 doing a two game stepladder (4,3, and 2 seeds play, with teh winner playing #1).
Divisions/ Averages: Scratch or handicap. It is the bowlers' choice of division. Also, everyone age 16 or under as of 8/1/24 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 23-24 average, and any 2024 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 So Cal 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. At the end of the season, the top 40 in So Cal points, plus anyone who had TWO top-5 finishes in So Cal events this season, advance to their respective Invitationals.
Entry fee: $60. Scholarship brackets are available for $2 each. Raffle tickets for bowling balls from the brands of Brunswick, and our PowerBowl and '29' 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.
Scholarships: 1:6 in each division earn scholarships, scratch and handicap. Minimum prizes are $300, $150, $100, $60. Bowlers must finish in the top 5 twice this season in that conference 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 120 in all-conference points, qualify for the Touring Players Championship, featuring $2,900 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, or even at all. 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 to get a good idea of what you might expect.
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 event is at or near sellout. Please tell your friends to email reservations ASAP, and double check that the list below is accurate.
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. We'll post here clearly if an event is nearing sellout or sold out.
