Community Twosome Adult-Junior Tournament
The Community Twosome Adult-Junior Tournament is a two-player team event open to all youngsters and adults who participate in U.S. Bowling Congress-certified bowling leagues at ISBPA member centers. (Adults who do not bowl in certified leagues may enter by paying an extra participation fee of $5.00 or by purchasing an "unattached" USBC membership card.) Competition is conducted in multiple divisions, determined by age of the youth bowler and gender of each team member (see entry form and rules of each region regarding number and type of divisions).
The tournament uses a "pins over average" format. The youth's and the adult's league averages are added together, and the total is multiplied by 3 to establish a target score. The number of pins the adult-youth team finishes over or under that target score after rolling a three-game series in the tournament determines the team's standing in its division.
In lieu of a state championship, Illinois State BPA affiliates conduct five regional Community Twosome championships in February and March. Youth-adult doubles teams advance from in-center qualifying that begins in November and continues through February. Format and prizes vary by region.
