Week 1 Standings

Week 2 Standings

Lots of movement from Week 1 of the JCJ Playoffs. In Elites, three new bowlers enter the Top 8 while in the Juniors, four new bowlers enter the Top 9? Yes, top 9 because there is a tie for 8th this week.

Dakota Degracia tightened the grip on his lead, shooting a 625 scratch set, and increasing his overall lead on #2 Pamela Faller to 54 pins. Biggest jump came from Andrew Ramirez, who’s 670 scratch series vaulted him from 14th to 5th. Positions 9-15 are all within 30 pins of the 8th playoff spot.

Aaron Calica continues to pace the Juniors as he holds a 52 pin lead over No. 2 Marco Vartanian who leaped from 7 this week. Biggest jumps came from outside the cut line as Kelsey Griffin moved from T18 to 12th & Janice Tuch moved from 10th to 4th. It’s going to be a tight race in the Juniors as positions 2 thru 12 are separated by only 48 pins.

Week 3 Standings

To be determined…

Week 4 Standings

The final round of qualifying for the JCJ Playoffs saw some shifting in the Elites and one new face in the Juniors garner a spot to become the first JCJ Playoff champ.

In Elites, strong efforts by Sean Kim and William Francisco got them into the Top 8. Andrew Ramirez’s 708 series vaulted him from 8-4 while Jeremy Tuazon barely held on to the final spot by only 5 pins. Pamela Faller will be the No. 1 seed.

In Juniors, Alan Gonzales slipped into the final spot and all three bowlers from one team (Aaron Calica and Adreian & Andrew Olango) made the cut. Nate Pfenninger overtook Calica for the No. 1 seed.

Playoff finals will be held May 18. If a bowler in the Top 8 does not attend that day then all others move up and we will re-seed accordingly.

Week 5 Standings

Here is the bracket for the JCJ playoffs provided all bowlers show. If a bowler who qualified does not show, then all bowlers move up based on final qualifying standing.

Will be conducted during league play this Saturday. Game 1 (Quarterfinal); Game 2 (Semifinal); Game 3 (Final).
