Tournament Format
- Five (5) games will be played.
- There are both Scratch and Handicap divisions. All bowlers are automatically entered into both divisions upon paid entry. There is a separate, but equal, prize fund for each division.
- Handicap is based on 90% of the difference between the bowler’s average and 250.
- Bowlers will receive the scholarship award that corresponds with their final placing in either the Scratch or Handicap division.
Tournament Rules
- Open to all Junior and Senior Southern Ontario YBC 5 Pin members. Juniors will compete only against Junior bowlers, and Seniors will compete only against Senior bowlers.
- Entries must be submitted no later than April 10, 2026.
- Entry fee is $60 for Seniors and $60 for Juniors.
- Entry must include proof of average as of March 1, 2026. The current season’s average sheet must show a minimum of 24 games bowled. If a bowler has not completed 24 games in the current season, the previous season’s average sheet will be used. Averages may be obtained from your Program Director or League Secretary.
- There will be four (4) divisions in the Scratch category: Senior Boys, Senior Girls, Junior Boys, and Junior Girls. There will be two (2) divisions in the Handicap category: Juniors and Seniors.
- Each bowler may win only one prize and may only cash in one division, as determined by the higher award position. If the award values are equal, the Scratch division will take precedence.
- In the event of a tie for any scholarship-winning position, the high single Scratch game (for the Scratch division) and the high single game with handicap (for the Handicap division) will determine final placing.
- Bowlers must adhere to the Youth Bowl Ontario Dress Code and Code of Conduct, which can be found at www.bowlontario5pin.ca.
