The best youth bowlers in the country are
set to invade Detroit, Mich., this July.

dollars in scholarships and prizes.
The youth events begin on July 5 with the
USBC Junior Gold Championships. The event

this year. Bowlers will compete on USBC
certified Sport Bowling conditions for
spots on Junior Team USA as well as
$100,000 in scholarship money. This year's
event features a revised format.
Competitors will bowl three six-game
qualifying blocks before the field is cut
to the top 105 males and 57 females. Those
athletes will bowl two more six-game
semifinal blocks before the field is cut
to the final 16 males and females for
match play on July 11.
 The
