All scholarship winners will receive a packet in the mail postmarked June 8. Thank you everyone for participating! And a SPECIAL THANK YOU to Classic Bowl for giving out the cookies and roses to all of the Mom's for Mother's Day! They were super hosts and everything ran smoothly.

CALIFORNIA PEPSI CHAMPIONSHIPS FORMAT

LEAGUE LEVEL QUALIFYING:  The Pepsi USBC Youth Championships begins with league level qualifying. 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:

• 11-under Boys’ Handicap

• 11- under Girls’ Handicap

• 12-up Boys’ Handicap

• 12-up Girls’ Handicap

• 12-up Boys’ Scratch

• 12-up Girls’ Scratch 

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).
