Format

Bowlers will bowl six (6) games in the Qualifying Round (bowler’s choice of Qualifying Squad “A” or Qualifying Squad “B”). At the conclusion of both squads of the Qualifying Round, all bowler’s total scores in each division will be pooled and the field will be cut to the top 8 bowlers in each division. In the event of a tie(s) for the final position, a one-game roll-off will take place immediately to break the tie.

The top 8 bowlers in each division will compete in eight (8) games of Match Play. Pinfall from the Qualifying Round WILL carry over to Match Play Round. Bowlers who win their match will receive 30 bonus pins. In the event of a tie, each bowler shall receive 15 bonus pins. At the conclusion of Match Play, the top four (4) bowlers will advance to the stepladder finals to determine the Champion.

Dress and Conduct Code (applies to Practice Session and all Competition)

All bowlers must wear shirts or jerseys with collars and sleeves. No t-shirts are allowed. Boys must wear slacks (no shorts). Girls must wear slacks, skirts or dress shorts. No jeans are allowed. Bowlers are not permitted to wear hats or other headgear, ripped or torn clothing, or basketball shorts. No clothing with offensive language or graphics, or any apparel which the tournament director feels is inappropriate. Smoking is not permitted by bowlers before, during or after the tournament. Proper behavior is expected at all times.

Oil Patterns

A PBA oil pattern will be used for PBA Jr. Regional Tournaments. The oil pattern name and specs will be announced prior to the start of competition.

Balance Holes

Beginning August 1, 2020, the use of a balance hole is prohibited. The rule states all holes in a bowling ball must be used on every delivery; any hole not used is considered a balance hole, making the ball illegal. Bowlers who do not use their thumb no longer can have a thumb hole, as it now is considered a balance hole. They also need to mark their ball to show where they place their palm on delivery.
