Hello everybody, The Thompson family and I are excited to announce the 1st event of the The Jimmy Jean Memorial Bowlers Tour!
The JJMBT was created to encourage tournament bowling in the North State and honor a bowling legend many of us admired. Jimmy was one of those special people. He was a force on the lanes well into his 60s, a gentleman on & off the lanes and always made time to say hello or give you a tip to help your game. He loved bowling & competition so much; he successfully ran the North State All Stars with his family for many years that we all enjoyed. Many of us became much better players because of Jimmy's help and the NSAS. We hope to build a great & long-standing tournament organization that Jimmy would be proud of.
The JJMBT will be a traveling tour that bowls once a month in Northern California. The 1st JJMBT tournament will take place on Sunday, January 8th, 2023 at Country Bowl in Redding, CA. The JJMBT will follow a similar format as the North State All Stars: a singles tournament where all players will bowl 5 games of qualifying over 5 pairs. The lane condition for each event will be a house shot. Handicap is 80% of 230 with a maximum handicap game of 300. The top 16 handicap scores will advance to a modified double-elimination match play playoff bracket. All playoff matches will be 1 game and based on scratch scores. There will be 2 qualifying squads - 9am (fresh oil) and Noon (burn squad). The lanes will be re-oiled for the playoff matches. Entry is $85.00 per squad and is cash only. Squad re-entries are allowed but based on availability.
We are limiting each squad to 5 players per pair of lanes, so for this event, each squad will have 40 available spots. Walk-ins will be welcome but reservations are encouraged. Reservations will require a $25.00 deposit per squad. This deposit will be applied to your entry fee and is refundable up until 24 hours of the squad time.
Please note, online reservation payments will incur a $2.00 service charge per transaction. Reservations with cash deposits will be accepted in person for future events.
