Due to the new mandates from USBC SMART, we must shift our tournament dates earlier for the 2023-24 season so that we can award our unassigned SMART funds to this event and not lose them after February 15, 2024.
All current 2023-24 USBC certified youth entered in California youth leagues are eligible to qualify. The U8 & U10 divisions can enter directly into the District Finals. League level qualifying will return for the older divisions with one window held in October 8-21, 2023. Based on a 1:4 ratio, youth in the U12, U15 & U18 divisions will qualify to the State Finals. All qualifying is based on scratch scores.
