The nation's top youth bowlers will descend upon the Detroit metro area starting this weekend to compete for nearly $275,000 in scholarships and spots on Junior Team USA at the 2013 North Pointe Junior Gold Championships. The first round of competition gets underway Monday with a record 2,328 USBC youth members eligible to participate in the event, which is presented by Ebonite, Columbia 300, Track and Hammer.
The North Pointe Junior Gold Championships has experienced tremendous growth, especially with the addition of the U15 division, and the expected progression has resulted in several changes for the 2013 event in Detroit. More than 1,900 youth bowlers took part in the 2012 event, establishing a record for number of participants, and the 2013 tournament is expected to eclipse that mark. To handle the larger field, three additional centers in the Detroit area will be utilized.
