Competitors MUST bowl on alternate lanes for each frame during a game and they will move to a different pair of lanes after each game.
Formation of Teams
Teams will consist of a YBC bowler and any adult 21 years of age or older as of August 1, 2023. The Youth bowler must participate in their respective division and will bowl with an Adult that will be categorized into one of two classes. This will result in a total of six (6) divisions: Bantam Class 1 & 2, Junior Class 1 & 2 and Senior Class 1 & 2. The adult divisions are as follows:
Class 1: Non-League Bowler – A person who has not bowled in a league in the last two (2) years, including the current season.
Class 2: League Bowler – A person who has bowled in a league the last two (2) years. If currently bowling in a league and has a minimum of 12 games bowled then you must use the highest current average as of March 3, 2024. If, the Adult last bowled in a league in the 2022/23 season, then use their highest year-ending average.

Junior: Male or Female 12 through 14 years of age as of August 1, 2023
Senior: Male or Female 15 through 21 years of age as of August 1, 2023
Handicaps
Class 1: Youth bowler receives 80% of the difference between their highest YBC league average as of March 3, 2024, and 240 per game. This number is then cut in half due to the bowler only bowling half of a game.
Class 2: Adult and Youth bowlers both receive 80% of the difference between their highest league average as of March 3, 2024, and 240 per game. Each number is then cut in half due to the bowler only bowling half of a game and the two numbers are then added together.
