Cloverleaf bowl in Fremont, California just had their annual Hillman Memorial Tournament. The total prize fund was $30,000. I think all the sponsors and other contributors deserve a big THANK YOU for their work with youth bowling.
The tournament was a adult/jr team tournament (2 adults/3 junior). There were 44 teams divided in to a scratch and a handicap division. The entry fee was $150 PER TEAM. Only juniors received the money from the prize fund. Every junior received at least $50 in scholarship money, which basicly gave the entry fee back to the teams. The winners in the each division received $1000 per junior. The $30,000 was spread over the 132 juniors (3 juniors per team X 44 teams). A free Lunch was provided to everyone in the Center.
