Due to a lower number of entries than anticipated, we have made the decision to postpone Phil's Final Frame: Survival Series from its originally scheduled October date.
After careful consideration, we feel this tournament will be better served by bringing our bowling community together for something even bigger!

EVENT #2: PHIL JONES YOUTH SCHOLARSHIP TOURNAMENTFollowing our scratch championship, we'll turn our attention to the next generation of bowlers!
This special tournament continues Phil's legacy by providing opportunities for young bowlers to compete, grow, and earn scholarship money toward their futures.
EVENT #3: PHIL JONES ADULT DOUBLES TOURNAMENT
We'll conclude our Friends of Phil Tournament Series with the tournament that helps make it all possible!
The Phil Jones Adult Doubles Tournament is the fundraising event that supports both our youth scholarship tournament and our $5,000 scratch championship.
It's a wonderful opportunity for our bowling community to come together, compete, remember Phil, and continue supporting the programs created in his honor.
THREE TOURNAMENTS. ONE SPECIAL DAY. ONE INCREDIBLE LEGACY.
We understand that changing the date may be disappointing to those who were looking forward to competing in October, and we sincerely appreciate everyone's understanding and continued support.
Our goal has always been to create an exciting, competitive tournament that honors Phil while bringing our bowling community together. We believe combining these three events will make March 21st an even more meaningful celebration of his legacy.
