IBC YOUTH CANCELS 2020 JUNIOR GOLD CHAMPIONSHIPS,
OTHER YOUTH SUMMER EVENTS
by Terry Bigham
ARLINGTON, Texas – International Bowling
Campus Youth Development has canceled its nation-
al youth championships events, including the Junior
Gold Championships presented by Hammer, sched-
uled for July in Las Vegas.
The cancellation of events includes the USA
Bowling National Championships, the Bowling.com
Youth Open Championships, and the Survivor tour-
nament.
More than 4,000 youths already had qualified for
the events, set to take place at seven bowling centers
in Las Vegas from July 8-26.
“All of us at IBC Youth understand and share in the
disappointment, as July is our time to celebrate youth
bowling with the athletes, families, coaches, and vol-
unteers,” said Gary Brown, IBC Youth Managing
Director. “But this summer is the time to ensure the
focus is on the safety and welfare of our bowling
families.”
The COVID-19 pandemic already has had a dam-
aging financial impact on families throughout the
country and likely will affect the ability of many ath-
letes to attend. Others may choose not to attend out of
April 23, 2020
Solimine said. “It is a recognition of
many years of work, but as you
know, you never do it alone. I have
worked with many great volunteers
over the years and they deserve some
of the credit also.”
Solimine, who lives in White
Plains, New York, has been involved
in youth bowling for more than 30
years. He currently chairs the New
York State USBC Youth Committee
and serves as the youth representative

travel concerns, and IBC Youth does not feel it is
proper to put any additional stress on our advancers’
families.
“We appreciate everyone’s understanding and sup-
port as we navigate through this,” USBC Executive
Director Chad Murphy said. “The tournaments
already were impacted as Junior Gold local qualifiers
and USA Bowling regional qualifying events could
not be held in the past month, which was the right
thing to do as we protect our families.”
Over the next few weeks, every 2020 Junior Gold
qualifier will have their qualifying fee ($100, $150 or
$200) deposited into their SMART account. IBC
Youth will add an additional $70,000 to the scholar-
ship pool, which will be distributed evenly to the
advancers.
Refunds for Spectator Passes, along with Youth
Open and Survivor entry fees, also will be processed
during this time, and any tournament coordinator
who was unable to conduct their event will have their
entry fee refunded.
All scholarships and refunds will be completed by
the end of April.

2020 USBC OPEN AND WOMEN’S
CHAMPIONSHIPS START DATES
MOVED TO SEPTEMBER
by Terry Bigham
ARLINGTON, Texas – The scheduled start of the 2020 United States
Bowling Congress Open Championships and 2020 USBC Women’s
Championships will move to September and include a modified format
to allow for increased social distancing for competitors.
The move to September is designed to give tournament bowlers more
time to focus on their personal situations during this difficult period. In
surveys, registered competitors said they still would like to participate in
the tournament late in the year, if public health conditions allow. Moving
the tournaments to September gives everyone a chance to consider their
options and plan for their own circumstances.
The Open Championships at the National Bowling Stadium in Reno,
Nevada, will start Sept. 12 and run until Nov. 21 (last team date), while
the Women’s Championships at the South Point Bowling Plaza in Las
Vegas will kick off Sept. 19 and run through Oct. 18.
The tournaments will feature a shorter daily squad schedule, without
early-morning or late-night squads. A survey showed 62 percent of Open
Championships registered teams are interested in bowling in the fall,
while 37 percent of Women’s Championships teams expressed interest.
Since there is a lot of uncertainty, the schedule is built with some flexi-
bility. Additional team squads can be added every other day or tourna-
ment dates can be extended, if more teams want to compete.

While he has directed many tournaments, the
NYS USBC Adult/Junior event might be at the
top of the list. Started in 1999, as part of the
NYS USBC Youth Championships, the first
event had 50 teams, and now draws bowlers
from throughout the state.
“Something that started out as a fun event in
1999 has turned into a very special tourna-
ment,” Solimine said. “Our State Adult/Junior
Championship tournament has been a great
success. We have averaged over 300 doubles
teams each year and have awarded over
$100,000 in scholarships to our champions.’
Solimine also has served on the Young
American Bowling Alliance Coca-Cola
National Committee, is a former president of
the New York State Bowling Council, served
as a volunteer with Special Olympics and was
an Empire State Games Tournament Director.
He runs the Saturday Morning Youth
Bowling Program at Bowlmor White Plains,
which he has overseen for more than 20 years,
and serves as a volunteer with a local football
league, helping coordinate referees.
He was inducted into the Westchester
County USBC Hall of Fame in 2000 and the
New York State USBC Hall of Fame in 2012
for his work with youth bowlers.
IBC

IBC Youth considered postponing the events, but once we looked at the
uncertainties about when local quarantines will be lifted and the logistical
factors of an event that covers a few weeks and numerous bowling centers,
moving to other dates was not a viable option.
And, of course, bowling centers also have been greatly impacted. As
mentioned, local qualifying events were canceled and, with centers having
been closed for at least a month, athletes likely would have taken part in
their biggest tournament of the year without the ability to practice and
train.
“Everyone has seen how businesses have been hurt by the COVID-19
pandemic over the last month, and that includes bowling centers,” Bowling
Proprietors’ Association of America Executive Director Frank DeSocio
said. “Canceling the events has a financial impact on the centers but every-
one understands protecting our communities is the goal. Hopefully, we are
able to open our doors soon and get everyone back on the lanes.”
The qualifying season for the 2021 Junior Gold Championships still will
kick off on May 1, 2020. IBC Youth Development encourages local coor-
dinators to follow local guidelines before hosting a qualifying event.
Qualifying spots earned for the 2020 Junior Gold Championships and
2020 USA Bowling National Championships will not carry over to 2021
event. Age-division waivers will not be granted, and all athletes will be
required to qualify in their appropriate age division during the 2020-2021
qualifying season.
The teams that qualified for the 2020 USA Bowling National
Championships are considered champions for their region, and IBC Youth
will ship your team its national jerseys.
Indianapolis will be the host city for the Junior Gold Championships,
USA Bowling National Championships, Youth Open Championships and
Survivor tournament in 2021.

USBC COLLEGIATE CONCURS
WITH DECISION OF MAJOR
ORGANIZATIONS REGARDING
ADDITIONAL ELIGIBILITY
by Terry Bigham
ARLINGTON, Texas – The United States Bowling
Congress Collegiate Division will not extend eligibili-
ty for student-athletes who had their 2019-2020 bowl-
ing postseason cut short because of COVID-19 public
health concerns.
The decision by USBC Collegiate follows the deci-
sion of major collegiate athletic associations, including
the National Collegiate Athletic Association (NCAA),
National Association of Intercollegiate Athletics
(NAIA), and National Junior College Athletic
Association (NJCAA), to grant an eligibility waiver
only to student-athletes in spring sports.
USBC Collegiate announced the postponement of the
Intercollegiate Singles and Team Sectionals on March
12. After determining there was no available timeframe
to conduct the collegiate postseason events, USBC
announced the cancellation of the Intercollegiate Team
and Singles Championships on March 18.

the 2020 Junior Gold Championships
By Terry Bigham
ARLINGTON, Texas – Hammer will be the presenting sponsor of the
2020 Junior Gold Championships, the premier national youth bowling
tournament, Brunswick Bowling Products and International Bowling
Campus Youth Development announced.
“Brunswick’s recent acquisition of the Ebonite International brands
provided an opportunity to evaluate the Junior Gold Championships
sponsorship,” said Brunswick Bowling Products CEO Corey Dykstra.
“Hammer is one of bowling’s most popular brands, and we’re pleased to
provide the event with such a recognizable title sponsor.”
The 2020 Junior Gold Championships will be held July 10-18 in Las
Vegas. The Orleans will serve as the host hotel and site of the Opening
Ceremony and trade show for the annual tournament.
Pro staff from Brunswick brands will be in attendance at the Opening
Ceremony and trade show and will be available to sign autographs dur-
ing registration.
“Brunswick Bowling is committed to celebrating and promoting the
sport of bowling with players of all ages,” said Dykstra. “We look for-
ward to providing an incredible experience for the youth bowlers at this
event.”
The Junior Gold Championships brings together the top youth bowlers
in the nation to compete for scholarships and spots on Junior Team USA
in four divisions – 12-and-under, 15-and-under, 17-and-under and 20-
and-under. Athletes qualify for the event through Junior Gold leagues
and tournaments.
“The support of sponsors, such as Brunswick Bowling Products, helps
us to make the Junior Gold Championships a summer destination for
youth bowlers and their families each year,” said Gary Brown, IBC
Youth Managing Director. “We’re excited to work alongside the
Brunswick team leading up to and during this year’s Junior Gold
Championships.”
All previous agreements between Ebonite International and IBC Youth
Development have been upheld to ensure a memorable experience for
all participants. Brunswick will sponsor the Hammer Survivor tourna-
ment, a companion event to the Junior Gold Championships, that allows
participants to take part in an additional scholarship event.
Brunswick also will support the Pepsi United States Bowling Congress
(USBC) Youth Championships sponsored by Columbia 300, and the
Track brand will continue to sponsor the Junior Gold Road to College
Scholarships, which awards $20,000 in scholarships.
