Big field expected for Youth Open
July 06, 2010
ARLINGTON, Texas - More than 2,000 youth bowlers are expected to participate in the USBC Youth Open, sponsored by Pepsi, which starts July 9 at Expo Bowl in Indianapolis.
The non-qualifying tournament will run July 9-10, 15-20 and 22-24, and will award approximately $100,000 in scholarships this year. The Youth Open, the only true national championship event for youth bowlers, is patterned after the USBC Open Championships and USBC Women's Championships.
Competitors will bowl nine games total - three games each of singles, doubles and four-player team - with the combined scores from those events being an optional all-events score.
The tournament has four average-based divisions (129 and below, 130-159, 160-189 and 190 and above) so participants are matched according to skill, not age or gender. Scores are based on actual pinfall and one out of every five entrants in team, doubles and singles will receive scholarships, while one in six will receive scholarships in all-events.
