I never bowled in the youth program and I have two kids soon going to be in the youth program, what happens to all the money you earn in tournaments if you do not go to college???

I read where alot you win pretty good money but it stays in a fund are you able to see how much is there at any given time???

There are limitations on what the money can be used for. There are organizations that hold money (like JBT) that are outside of USBC control. Although the rules for use of funds are generally the same, they can be different. With USBC/Smart, if the money is not used after it expires (usually 6 years after hs graduation or when the money is won if after HS graduation) then USBC is supposed to return it back to the organization(s) that the funds originated from. This is not always easy as organizations/people who run tournaments often come and go. As for other organizations that hold their own money, they usually use the expired money to enhance their current prize funds.

If they aren't going to college you can also fill out a policy exception and they will send you a check.

You run the risk of voiding youself from NCAA competition, but if your not going to college thats a problem
