We had a local youth tournament last weekend called the BB&T Rising Stars. I wasn''t here to watch but there were over 400 bowlers at different ages from age 6 to 18. Format was 3 games, and they placed you in an average divison depending on what your average was, highest total pinfall+handicap.
The tournament gives out scholarship money, $500 to the winners of each average division, $200 for second place, and the 2 top bowlers get to bowl in the national finals later in the summer from what I understand.
Here''s what raised the red flag for me:
In the 110-145 average division there were 2 brothers that finished 1st and 2nd respectively. Ages were 8 and 9, and there averages were 117 and 120. What did they shoot?
The 117 average bowler goes 169-199-242
The 120 average bowler goes 233-189-190
From my point, its obvious that momma and daddy got these boys bagging at age 8 and its b.s.
