"Great Job by all Bowlers"

The  2008 Michigan State USBC Youth Pepsi-Cola Championship Tournament has ended.  We have completed the third of three weekends for this tournament.  The scores below are now “OFFICIAL”. 

We would like to Thank Airway Lanes and their staff, Continental Lanes and their staff, and the Kalamazoo USBC Youth Association and all of their volunteers for helping make this year's tournament successful.  Your help made our job so much easier.  We would also like to thank the Michigan Pepsi-Cola organization and Brunswick for their continued support,  remember to support our sponsors.     

If you notice that your name is not spelled correctly please e-mail us at sheehank@charter.net before June 1st and we will correct it so that the plaques are printed correctly.  We need to have all corrections ASAP so that the plaques can be started at the conclusion of the tournament.

            Bowlers listed in the "Winners" link are Scholarship, Point Award, and Plaque winners.  The plaques will be shipped to the coaches after the State Banquet in July.  Bowlers listed in Blue are National Advancement Positions, Bowlers listed in Red are Scholarships and Points positions, Bowlers listed in Black are Plaque Positions.

            I am also posting an "ALL Bowlers" link so that bowlers can see where their scores placed.  This DOES NOT mean that they are Winners, it is just so bowlers can check to see where they finished.

            The 12-21 years old center will advance 10 athletes to compete in the National USBC Pepsi  Tournament in Sterling Hgts., MI.  The advancers will consist of the top 6 handicap boys (B & C classes combined) and the top 4 handicap girls (B & C classes combined).  The top scratch boy and the top scratch girl will earn a position in the National Junior Gold Tournament that is also held in Sterling Hgts. MI and Waterford, MI. These numbers are determined by the number of certified members in Michigan.

            All Scholarship & Points winners will be invited to the Michigan State USBC Youth Association Banquet which will be held Midland , MI in July.  The final results will be sent to the Coach of record after everything has been finalized.  

Classes are determined by age not averages.  Class B is ages 15-21, Class C is 12-14, Class D is 9-12, and Class E is 8 and under.  Scratch divisions could be anyone 12 - 21 that declared prior to their qualifier that they wanted to compete with NO handicap.
