                    bowlers don’t have to have a certain

                    a league or state tournament. Simply put, if they are a USBC Youth
                    member, they can bowl in the Youth Open. At the Bowling.com Youth
                    Open Championships, athletes will bowl nine games total — three
                    games each of singles, doubles and four-player teams. Their combined
                    scores from those events will be their optional all-events score.
