2010 California Pepsi Championships

District Finals Unofficial Results
State Finals Results
  

Welcome to the 2010 California Pepsi USBC Youth Championships. Pepsi tournament packets have been mailed to all bowling centers with youth programs.  The full tournament league level handbook is available online only (click on the image to the right). The two league level qualifying windows are NOVEMBER 7-20, 2009 & JANUARY 16-29, 2010. 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. (Only USBC certified leagues and youths are eligible to participate).

1. The first place winners and runners-up of the 12-up Girls and Boys Scratch divisions will advance to the 2010 USBC Jr. Gold Championships held July 10-16, 2010 in Indianapolis, IN. All four bowlers will receive a travel stipend from the CUSBC.

2. NEW! The first place winners and runners-up of the 12-up Girls and Boys Handicap divisions will earn a single entry ($70 value) into all four (4) events of the 2010 California Youth State Championships to be held July 2010 in North San Diego Co.

3. NEW! The first place finishers in the 12-up Scratch and Handicap divisions at the District Finals will receive a $50 scholarship instead of the commemorative watch and certificate given in the past.

For the 10th year in a row, www.BowlersParadise.com will be sponsoring this event along with www.EliteBowling.com, Brunswick, Pin Point Bowling Concepts (located inside AMF Beverly Bowl), NorthStar Pro Shop (located inside AMF Orchard Lanes), Pacific Coast Pro Shop (located inside Canoga Park Bowl), Bowlers Corner Pro Shop (located inside Chaparral Lanes), Bowler’s Advantage Pro Shop (located inside Vista Entertainment Center), and Lane 37 Pro Shop (located inside Delta Bowl). These sponsors have donated items for our fundraising raffle at the District and State finals sites to help us raise more scholarship dollars. Please support these sponsors and help us THANK them for their generous contributions!

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 $70,000 in scholarships! With the rising cost of education, this tournament strongly benefits many young bowlers on their way to a promising future.

Please email the chairman if you have any questions about this event or about Pepsi scholarships.

California has an outstanding history at the International finals. Since 1983, California has had over 20 top four finishers totaling over $50,000 in scholarships. This proves that many of the top youth bowlers in this country are right here from California.

CALIFORNIA PEPSI CHAMPIONSHIPS FORMAT

BRIEF QUALIFYING OUTLINE:  Center level qualifying is based on a ratio of 1:3 with bowlers competing within six divisions: 11-Under Boys & Girls; 12-Up Handicap Boys & Girls; and 12-Up Scratch Boys & Girls from their home certified youth league.  (No Pre-Bowled or Post-Bowled scores can be used.)  Bowlers that qualify from their center to the district finals will bowl 3 games in March at the District Level Finals in their respective District. (Districts are based on their home bowling center location in the state).  The 11-Under division will compete for scholarships only at this District Level.  The 12-Up divisions will compete at the District Level and will qualify based on the 1:5 ratio to the State Finals. First place finishers in the 12-Up divisions at the District level will be awarded with commemorative watches and certificates for their outstanding performance.  Scholarships for the 12-Up divisions are awarded only at the State Finals.

STATE FINALS: The format of the State Finals is six games of qualifying with the overall final top 4 bowlers (total pins plus handicap) entering the stepladder finals for each division (16 total bowlers). The stepladder finals will determine scholarship placement as well as who our representatives will be entering the national finals.  All fundraising held at the state finals goes directly into the 12-Up scholarship fund. 

SCHOLARSHIP BREAKDOWNS:  The 11-Under Division's scholarships will be distributed after the State Finals.  Their results will be included in the State Finals results book which will be mailed to each bowling center and local association.  All scholarship winners are mailed a scholarship certificate and letter of congratulations.
