Competitor's Information
Dear Zone Champion:
Welcome to the 50th Annual Provincial Finals of the Youth Bowl Canada National Championships. You can be proud of your achievement and we hope that you will represent your Zone and Home Bowling Centre in a manner befitting a champion.
A total of 96 youth bowlers will be competing at the Provincial Finals to determine the six (6) bowlers (1 per age division and category) that will represent Southern Ontario at the National YBC Tenpin Championships in Calgary, Alberta from May 3 to 5, 2020, with travel dates being May 2 and May 6.
While the level of pressure and exhilaration will no doubt be very high, here are a few important rules to remember:
- All competitors will bowl 6 games.
- Any unusual behavior, incident or medical problem should be reported to a Tournament Official IMMEDIATELY.
- There is zero tolerance for foul language and gestures.
- The possession or consumption of alcoholic beverages, or the use of any non-prescribed drugs or stimulants will not be allowed AT ANY TIME.
- Competitors are responsible for the marking of correct scores. After each frame each competitor should make sure that the automatic scorer has recorded the proper score. Any dispute must be reconciled before play is continued, by calling the Judge of Play. Scorekeeping by spectators will not be taken into consideration. Please notify the Judge of Play immediately if any errors occur with the scorer.
- During the competition, bowlers must be ready to take their turn without having to be called. Bowlers may not leave the playing area unless permission has been received from the Judge of Play or a Tournament Official.
- Bowlers are expected to obey all rules of Youth Bowl Canada and adhere to the fundamentals of good sportsmanship conduct.
- Violation of any rule could mean immediate disqualification and/or suspension.
GOOD LUCK AND GOOD BOWLING!
