2010USBCYouthOpenLogo.jpgMore than 2,000 youth bowlers are expected to participate in the 2010 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 is patterned after the USBC Open Championships and USBC Women's Championships. Youth bowlers compete in team (four players), doubles, singles and all-events.

The tournament, which will award approximately $100,000 in scholarships this year, has four average-based divisions:
  • 129 and below
  • 130-159
  • 160-189 and
  • 190 and above.

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.

Participants will bowl nine games total — three games each of singles, doubles and four-player team. The combined scores from those events is the all-events score.
