The Teen Masters is adding a collegiate division effective immediately! Qualifying for the Teen Masters Collegiate Division National Championships will begin this weekend and continue through the final weekend of May. The Collegiate division's championship event will be staged August 5 - 7 at the South Point.
As only one (1) squad of competition at the national finals this summer, the maximum field size will be 180 athletes. The limited number of slots will be filled as follows:
1. Regional Qualifying - beginning this weekend, March 28 & 29, each remaining regional qualifying event will stage collegiate division qualifying. The top collegiate boy and top collegiate girl from each singles squad will earn an invitation to compete in Las Vegas. Additional invitations will be extended to bowlers finishing in top positions at the larger regional events until 180 invitations have been extended.
2. Teen Masters Alumni - if the regional qualifying events fail to fill the national field, invitations will be offered to eligible bowlers who bowled in the Teen Masters in previous years.
3. Last Chance Qualifier - an open Last Chance Qualifier will be held in Las Vegas on August 5 to fill any remaining spots.
To be eligible for the Teen Masters Collegiate Division you must be a High School graduate who was 21 or younger as of August 1, 2008. The division will be certified Youth/Adult, and will offer SMART scholarship awards at both the regional and national levels on a 1:5 ratio.
