2012 California Pepsi Championships Welcome to the 2012 California Pepsi USBC Youth Championships. Enclosed is the tournament information you will need for this year. Download the full tournament league level handbook here. The two league level qualifying windows are NOVEMBER 5-18, 2011 & JANUARY 14-27, 2012. If your youth league session conflicts with these dates because of a league bye, contact your District Director for permission to move your qualifying window one week before or one week after. Every youth bowler should be given their FREE chance to qualify. (Leagues and youth must be USBC certified in order to participate). The Pepsi Championships will be conducted in six (6) divisions: Boys’ 11-under Handicap, Girls’ 11-under Handicap, Boys’ 12-up Handicap, Girls’ 12-up Handicap, Boys’ 12-up Scratch and Girls’ 12-up Scratch. The 11-under division will earn scholarships at the District Finals (March) and the 12-up division will earn scholarships at both the District and State Finals (MAY 5-6, 2012 – Fountain BOWL) as well as vying for berths into either the North Pointe Jr. Gold Championships (Scratch division) or the California State Youth Championships (Handicap division). IMPORTANT INFORMATION:
For the 12th year in a row, www.BowlersParadise.com will be sponsoring this event along with www.EliteBowling.com. Also each pro shop in the eight hosting Pepsi District Finals will be donating a bowling ball for our fundraising raffle at each site. These sponsors have donated items at both the District and State Finals sites to help us raise more scholarship dollars. Please THANK them for their generous contributions by shopping at their establishments! IMPORTANT: All league-level qualifying paperwork and District Finals entry fees must be sent to your respective district director postmarked by FEBRUARY 11, 2012. Late entries will NOT be accepted and will be returned, so please be sure to meet this deadline. Make sure that all coaches and bowlers read the TOURNAMENT INFORMATION & rules carefully. If you have questions or need help with the league qualifying paperwork, contact your District Director immediately. Also, keep a master copy of all league sheets dated as of JANUARY 1 and APRIL 15. These league sheets will be used at both the District and State Finals. Thank you for your support and participation in one of the largest scholarship events in California. Last year we worked extremely hard with your help in raising funds so that we could award $40,000 in scholarships! With the rising cost of education, this tournament strongly benefits many young bowlers on their way to a promising future. Posters are enclosed so that everyone in your center will be informed of the tournament dates and locations. Good luck!
12-Up State Finals Information (12-Up divisions only): State Finalists qualify from the District Finals to the State Finals based on a ratio of 1:5 per division. State Finalists are competing for scholarships and berths into the USBC Jr. Gold Championships (Scratch division) or the State Championships (Handicap division). All Pepsi Scholarship winners will receive a scholarship packet in the mail in June with instructions on how to retrieve their funds from SMART. You will be asked for your membership card at Check-in.

Bowling centers with certified USBC Youth leagues are automatic free qualifying sites. Qualifying is held for two-week periods in November and January based on a ratio of 1:2 per division. Divisions based on ages as of Aug. 1 of the previous year:
DISTRICT FINALS (March): Participants in the 11-under divisions earn scholarships at the district level based on a ratio of 1:8 (minimum of $50 will be awarded for first place). They do not compete in the state or national finals. The 12-up divisions advance to the state finals based on a ratio of 1:6. A $50 scholarship will be awarded for the first place finishers in the 12-up divisions at the district finals. STATE FINALS (May): Each participant will bowl one squad consisting of six (6) qualifying games moving pairs after each game. After the last squad on Sunday, the top four (4) bowlers from each division (highest total pinfall + handicap when applicable – 16 bowlers total) will qualify to the Stepladder finals. Stepladder finals determine berth winners and scholarship placement. Scholarships will be awarded based on a ratio of 1:8 in each division. A minimum of $400.00 will be awarded for 1st place. STEPLADDER FINALS: The #4 seeded finalist will bowl one game against the #3 seeded finalist. The winner will then bowl one game against the #2 seeded finalist. The winner of that match will then bowl one game against the top seeded finalist for the championship. JR GOLD CHAMPIONSHIPS - SCRATCH DIVISION: The first place winners and runners-up of the 12-up Girls & Boys Scratch Divisions will advance to the USBC Junior Gold Championships (July). They must be USBC Junior Gold members to advance (the advancer must meet the 175 or higher average for males or 150 average or higher for females). USBC will waive the $200 entry fee for these athletes. All U.S. citizens are vying for a spot on USBC Junior Team USA 2011 to represent the United States in national and international competition. If the Scratch Division Champion or runners-up are unwilling or unable to become a USBC Junior Gold member and will not advance to the Championships, the athlete will still retain the state scholarship, but the berth to the Championships will be awarded to the next eligible athlete. The CUSBC will provide to each athlete up to $400 for travel reimbursement. Athletes must be chaperoned by an adult. STATE CHAMPIONSHIPS - HANDICAP DIVISION: The first place winners and runners-up of the Girls & Boys 12-up Handicap division will earn a single entry ($70 value) into all four (4) events of the California Youth State Championships to be held in June/July. In order to redeem this award, the winner must be entered with a full team of their choice and enter in all four (4) events. This berth is applicable only to the first and second place finishers and will be voided if they cannot attend or do not enter with a full team entry ($280).
