Over the years, there have been a number of changes made to CTF rules that are related to CTF Youth eligibility. USBC has also made changes to their rules. Currently, there are differences in CTF\u2019s and USBC\u2019s rules in this regard. All of these changes and differences have caused there to be some confusion, uncertainty, and questions with respect to youth eligibility. The following is intended to
clarify things for our members.<\/p>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t

In Chapter 1 of the CTF Playing Rules, it states that Youth Membership is available to individuals who have not reached their 22nd birthday by August 1st of the current season.<\/p>

CTF Rule 13 \u2013 Parental Consent: It says that for youth under the age of 18, a parent is authorizing his\/her participation in any competition where prizes above $500 in merchandise, or, where any amount of cash or bonds are awarded. It states that a youth can maintain their CTF youth eligibility by continuing to bowl in a sanctioned CTF Youth league. But it also states that rejection of such prizes does not prevent the possibility of losing their CTF Youth eligibility. The form also refers to the fact that the youth may lose their \u201camateur status\u201d, which could affect their eligibility for USBC youth membership, as well as US or Canadian high-school or college bowling programs.<\/p>

There are no CTF Playing Rule restrictions regarding CTF Youth being allowed to participate in adult leagues or tournaments, other than the requirement to bowl in a CTF Youth League in order to maintain their CTF youth eligibility.<\/p>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/details>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t

USBC\u2019s Youth Membership is available to individuals who have not reached their 18th birthday by August 1st of the current season.<\/p>

USBC has a restriction regarding their youth bowling in adult competitions where cash or bond prizes are awarded, or merchandise over $500. They are ONLY allowed to bowl in
Singles competitions. They need to have their parental consent and waiver form completed in order to bowl in any adult competitions. Their consent\/waiver form, similar to CTF\u2019s, describes the potential jeopardy to their youth eligibility status.<\/p>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/details>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t

CTF youth can participate in adult competitions with cash or bond prizes and\/or merchandise prizes valued in excess of $500 without jeopardizing their CTF Youth eligibility, providing they also bowl in a CTF Youth league. They must submit the CTF Prize Waiver \/ Parental Consent form prior to participating in such a competition. This form also provides for the option of putting any prize winnings into the youth bowler\u2019s Scholarship Awards For Education (SAFE) account, providing the adult competition\u2019s management agrees to do that. It should be noted that bowling in such a competition COULD impact their USBC Youth Eligibility, and the use of the form COULD help with this potential issue, but it is not a guarantee.<\/p>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/details>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t

What is the purpose of the CTF Prize Waiver \/ Parental Consent form? <\/h4><\/span>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\n\t\t\t<\/i><\/span>\n\t\t\t<\/i><\/span>\n\t\t<\/span>\n\n\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/summary>\n\t\t\t\t

The form serves several purposes. It ensures that the CTF Youth member is aware that the event is offering prizes which could jeopardize their CTF Youth Eligibility (unless they also participate in a CTF Youth League). It also ensures the CTF Youth member is aware that they may be jeopardizing their USBC Youth eligibility, as well as jeopardizing their status as an amateur, which could be important for eligibility in college bowling programs. It also provides the ability to waive their rights to any cash prizes, or to any merchandise prize with a value greater than $500, which may help them maintain their USBC Youth eligibility and their amateur status, but it is not a guarantee. And of course, it also functions as the Parental Consent Form for underage youth. The form also allows the Youth member to indicate that they would accept a cash prize in the form of a scholarship award instead of cash.<\/p>

The form is applicable to an entire tournament (even if it is a \u201cmulti-staged\u201d event). The form is at the end of the FAQ document and also on the CTF website.<\/p>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/details>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t

No, they are not obligated to provide CTF Youth winnings in the form of a scholarship. It is the tournament organization\u2019s decision to provide this option for CTF Youth participating in their tournament. It is strongly advised that a CTF Youth member who wishes to compete in an adult competition have a clear understanding of his\/her options with the Tournament Manager or League Executive, before signing the waiver form and competing in the tournament or league.<\/p>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/details>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t

In order to bowl in a USBC Youth tournament, the participant needs to purchase a USBC Youth membership.<\/p>

USBC\u2019s Youth Membership eligibility is explained fully in their Rule 400. In summary, it says that a USBC Youth Member cannot bowl in any competition where cash or bonds are awarded, or any merchandise greater than $500, without jeopardizing their eligibility. Exception: They are allowed to bowl in such competitions as long as they are only SINGLES competitions, and they complete a prize waiver form and have parental consent (if they are under 18) for each occurrence.<\/p>

Therefore, if a CTF Youth Member has participated in any NON-SINGLES competition where cash or bonds, or merchandise above $500 are awarded, their eligibility for USBC Youth membership is jeopardized, regardless if they have signed a prize waiver and\/or parental consent forms. However, if they have only participated in Singles competitions, and have completed the prize waiver and consent forms, then they are still eligible for USBC youth memberships.<\/p>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/details>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t

Some schools and colleges restrict the participation in their bowling programs (as well as other athletics) to only \u201camateurs\u201d. Anyone who has accepted cash or bond prizes, or
merchandise over $500 in bowling competitions has potentially jeopardized their amateur status and possibly may not be accepted into one of these programs.<\/p>

To ensure compliance with specific high school and collegiate rules, an individual should check with the appropriate compliance officer and\/or athletic\/activities association prior
to the acceptance of any such award.<\/p>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/details>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t
