NEWS FOR 2011-12

The Youth Challenge Series will continue to no longer be USBC Certified. We are joining other tournament series, such as the:

Junior Bowlers Tour in New York/New Jersey (http://pages.prodigy.net/lpezzano/index.html),

the JBT Southwest/West US (http://www.juniorbowlerstour.com),

and the Bowling Centers Association of Wisconsin Gran Prix tournaments (http://www.wigrandprix.com),

that do not agree with the limitations on scholarship award use that SMART has in place, along with the amount of administration fees charged/interest the USBC keeps for itself (regardless of the new "shell" corporation USBC created in May 2010) and join these tournament series with no longer certifying events with USBC.

All present and future scholarship awards will be held in trust for the bowlers at Wells Fargo, NA.

SCHOLARSHIP ACCOUNT INFORMATION

Due to account balance minimums and fees changing as of 8/1/11, each Hammer Youth Challenge bowler, once $500 in HYC scholarship earnings have been achieved will have their own scholarship account opened at Wells Fargo, NA. Parents or the bowler may request a scholarship account statement from the HYC at any time that will be sent by email, regardless of the amount a bowler may have earned in Youth Challenge events.

Bowlers who wish to receive their scholarship award(s), regardless of their account status above - will need to follow the "Scholarship Funds Request" instructions page that is on upper left page of this website to claim their funds.

We feel that our continuing relationship with Wells Fargo, NA will provide even more financial benefits to the Youth Challenge Series program than the SMART program in whatever form it may take now.

REMEMBER - There have been some FALSE RUMORS circulating that bowling in the Youth Challenge series, or any non-certified tournament, would make you ineligible for USBC Youth certified events or for ANY college bowling. This, of course, is NOT TRUE. As long as we do not break any of their eligibility rules (which we won't), this will not happen.

Almost all your high school bowling club matches and tournaments are not certified and there are many uncertified leagues and tournaments out there. YOU ARE FULLY ABLE to bowl the Hammer Youth Challenge Series as a USBC Youth bowler.

The people spreading these rumors are uneducated in the rules of youth bowling. We are entring our 6th season of the Hammer Youth Challenge Series and we would never jeopardize any bowler's eligiblity in any way.

If anyone has any questions regarding this matter, feel free to contact us by email at youthchallengebowling@gmail.com, or pull us aside at a tournament - we'll be happy to make sure that everything is fully understood by our bowlers.
