We are saddened to announce that the NJYBT June Master Tournament has been canceled due to low entry numbers.

A full refund will be issued later today to all participants who have already registered and paid. In addition, any Major Tournament credits may be applied toward the upcoming NJYBT/PJBT Best Tournament or any NJYBT tournament during the upcoming season.

Please keep an eye out for the NJYBT/PJBT Best Tournament flyer and registration information, which will be released soon.

While there are many factors that may have contributed to the low entry numbers, we prefer to focus on the future rather than the reasons behind them. We are excited about the upcoming season and the opportunities ahead for our bowlers and families.

We have an exciting new season ahead and look forward to sharing upcoming announcements, schedules, and tournament dates with everyone. Stay tuned for more details!

Thank you for your continued support of NJYBT. We appreciate your loyalty and look forward to seeing everyone back on the lanes soon.

🚨 NJYBT Tournament Registration Help Needed 🚨

We received a check from Regina Rice for this Sunday's NJYBT Tournament in the amount of $80.00 for an entry fee.

Unfortunately, the check does not list the bowler's name, and we do not have a Google registration matching this payment.

If you are Regina Rice, or if you know Regina Rice, please comment on this post or send us a private message so we can connect the payment to the correct bowler and complete their registration.

Thank you for your help, and we look forward to seeing everyone this Sunday! 🎳
