Hey, I just posted earlier as I was in a hurry to get my birthday bash in check... but I'm home now.
I'm lucky enough to experience a JBTSW event before (2001 Kingman, I was unable to come to the past ones). From my past experiences, The JBTSW staff runs events that are run similiar to those you see in the big-time amateur events and maybe even the Tour, and it was no surprise to me that Jeff and the JBTSW crew stepped to the plate (and more) when the LVIJT folded.
I am going adult at the end of the season (after the Hawaii tournaments... or maybe even JBT-LVO... still depends), as the opportunities for me to bowl as a youth in my area are quite limited, but if I were able to live in an area where JBT was the talk, I would stay until I'm 22. I hope that JBTSW continues their success in the future, and if there are aspiring youth in my area who would like to see some good, well-organized competition in the national youth level, I would send them to bowl a JBTSW event.
Thank you JBT for a great week/event, and I would like to say hi to all the crazy people who woke up super-early for the Last Chance squad and made it into match play. Although I wish my performance at the tournament could have been better, I still appreciate that the club offered all of us an opportunity to compete this holiday season. Thanks again!
