2023 Christmas Classic Tournament Rules and Entry Form

What is the Christmas Classic?

Each bowling center may enter three (4) teams into the Christmas Classic tournament, though additional team spots may open up if all centers do not enter three teams.  Each team consists of 4 youth bowlers — 1 age 11 or under, 1 between ages 12-17, and 2 of any age under 18.  The tournament format is 2 rounds; all bowlers will bowl a minimum of 4 games and a maximum of 6 games, moving a pair of lanes every game.

Bonus points are awarded in Round 1 only based on head-to-head matches. After the first round of 4 games has completed, the top half of the tournament field advances to Round 2.  Round 2 consists of 2 games bowled per person/team.  The winning team earns the floating plaque, to be prominently displayed in their center until the following year’s tournament. In addition, the bowlers of the top 4 teams each earn a plaque.

See your home center’s Youth Director for more details or to form a team.  Centers are limited in the number of teams they can enter in the tournament (generally 3-4 teams).
