September JJBT Tournament is almost here!

The Jacksonville Jr Bowling Tour kicks off the youth bowling tournament season next Saturday, September 17th over at Bowl America Southside.  All youth bowlers with a minimum 120 average (last year’s book average OR current season with at least 9 games) are eligible to compete for SMART scholarships.  $6,667 in scholarship funds was awarded last year through this tournament, and we are looking to increase that this year!

Registration is from Noon to 12:45pm, and the tournament begins at 1pm.  If possible, please pre-register on Facebook by Friday, 9/16.  The cost is $40 to enter, with bowlers competing in one of three divisions.  Everyone bowls 6 games in the qualifying round, with at least half advancing to the brackets round for elimination play.
