Pocket Preview: Wyncity Youth Cup
By Tenpin Bowling Australia
The newly named Wyncity Youth Cup will kick off the Youth rankings division for 2023 this weekend at Wyncity Keon Park in Victoria.
In the 20th running of the event, the newly named Wyncity Youth Cup takes over the formally known Werribee Youth Cup as the first event on the youth division ranked event calendar.
The squad list is nearing capacity as the first event for the youth division will welcome many junior bowlers who have now aged out of the junior division.
Home of several historic ranked bowling tournaments, Wyncity Keon Park, will again host the event after moving the tournament to Keon Park last year.
Qualifying on Saturday will see all competitors bowl 12 games in 2 separate 6-game blocks changing lanes after every 2 games. The top 12 boys and top 12 girls, after 12 games of qualifying, will progress to Sunday’s elimination round.
The finals on Sunday will see two stages occur. Stage two will kick things off with the top 12 boys and top 12 girls to bowl 5 more games with their pinfall carrying over from qualifying. After the five additional games, the top 6 boys and top 6 girls with the highest pinfall after 17 games will progress to stage 3.
The third and final stage will see the top 6 bowl five games of Matchplay with bonus pins introduced (30 for a win, 15 pins for a draw). After all three stages, the boy and girl with the highest total pinfall plus bonus pins will be declared the 2023 Wyncity Youth Cup Champions.
Tenpin Bowling Australia wishes all participants the best of luck and high scoring.
