2013-14 SEASON WILL CONTINUE TO AWARD "CHUCK'S BUCKS" TO HELP PAY TOURNAMENT ENTRY FEES

The 39th season of the Junior Bowlers Tour is now underway and the Chuck's Bucks program will be continued with a few changes. Chuck's Bucks will be awarded at each singles event Repeater Bracket throughout the season, and in the 2013-14 season there will be eight Chuck's Bucks prizes awarded in each division instead of four. Chuck's Bucks can be accumulated by each bowler and then exchanged later in the season for a full or partial entry fee payment into eight of the JBT's most prestigious events.

The three conference Invitational Tournaments, the Nerve-Wracker, the EBONITE One-BALL Tournament, the JBT Las Vegas Open, the JBT Challenge Tournament and the Buddies Pro Shop Open are among the events with the largest scholarship payouts of the JBT season. Now they will also be among the least expensive (or even FREE) for bowlers who trade in their Chuck's Buck's.

Additional Chuck's Bucks will be available throughout the season in various events. These opportunities will be announced as they become available. A complete explanation of the Chuck's Bucks program and the Repeater Bracket are available on the rules page of this website.

 

 

REPEATER BRACKET ADDS EVEN MORE EXCITEMENT TO JBT EVENTS

The return of the popular Repeater Bracket in 2013-14 adds another highlight to JBT competition each week, and best of all....IT'S FREE. Beginning with the second event of each conference, this season-long program will give bowlers the opportunity to win valuable Chuck's Bucks. All bowlers who finish in the top 32 positions (in each division) will be automatically entered in the Repeater Bracket in the next singles event in that conference.

Once again this season, there is no charge for the Repeater Bracket and this season, the top eight finishers in each division will earn Chuck's Bucks towards eight of the end-of-the-season larger-prize tournaments. Beginning with game one, bowlers will be matched against one another in single-game matches using the scores they roll in the tournament. Bowlers winning at least two matches will be among those earning Chuck's Bucks, with the fourth game determining the bracket finalists and the fifth game determining the winner.

The Repeater Bracket will be posted at each event before the start of the tournament with the pairings determined by the final standings of the previous event in the conference (#1 bowls #32, #2 bowls #31, etc.).

 

 

 

BUDDIES PRO SHOP BOWLER-OF-THE-YEAR AWARDS

The JBT offers its thanks to Buddies Pro Shop for once again sponsoring the Buddies Pro Shop Bowler-of-the-Year awards and for donating scholarship prizes for the 2012-13  Bowler-of-the-Year winners.

Buddies Pro Shop will continue to sponsor the Bowler-of-the-Year awards in the 2013-14 season.

"THANK YOU" TO OUR JBT-GRADUATE SPONSORS

We would like to take this opportunity to thank several of the graduates and friends of the JBT program who have donated back to the scholarship fund for the current group of young bowlers. Their help is very much appreciated.

For the 13th consecutive year, Chris Forry has sponsored the Buddies Pro Shop Open, one of the can't-miss-it tournaments of the year for our scratch bowlers. Chris has also once again sponsored the JBT Bowler-of-the-Year awards.

Ed Gallagher is the brand manager for EBONITE, the title sponsor of the Junior Bowlers Tour. The partnership between the JBT and EBONITE (with Ed leading the way) has given more of our junior bowlers the opportunity to use the top-notch equipment produced by EBONITE and has added greatly to the JBT scholarship fund.

Robin Czyzewicz has conducted a variety of fund-raisers on behalf of the JBT over the past several years and donated all of the profits to the scholarship program, helping the prize funds at the Masters Tournament and the Challenge Tournament.

Ken Bailynson has been making regular donations to the JBT over the past several years, adding to the general scholarship fund.

Chris Leyen has been making donations the last few seasons to our Delaware Valley Conference events. Chris and his three children are all JBT champions, the only such combination in JBT history...at least so far.

The final person deserving of mention, although he never bowled in the JBT, is Geary Trumbore. Geary is the editor and publisher of the Bowlers Gazette, a favorite news source of the Delaware Valley bowlers. Geary has conducted fund-raisers for the scholarship fund and awarded free entries to various events. His efforts have greatly increased the prize fund available for the Delaware Valley Conference Invitational Tournament.

 

JBT WELCOMES EBONITE AS CONTINUING TITLE SPONSOR

The Junior Bowlers Tour is happy and proud to announce that EBONITE will be continuing as the title sponsor of our events. Ebonite's support will greatly assist our scholarship program and the JBT will be awarding Ebonite bowling balls at many of the JBT tournaments.

Ebonite's sponsorship also enabled the creation of the popular EBONITE ONE-BALL TOURNAMENT in 2009, which has become one of our most popular annual events. Several other projects are under consideration and will be announced when plans are finalized.

On behalf of the Junior Bowlers Tour and its bowlers, we thank Ebonite for their support of youth bowling.
