The 11 & Under Divisions will be bowling on what is commonly know as normal house conditions.

Why is a more difficult pattern used at the state finals?

There are three main reasons:

  1. The next levels of competition (National & Junior Gold) will also use a more challenging lane condition, this gives many bowlers their first experience at such conditions.

  2. Bowlers may be re-rated at the National Event based on their performance at the State event. Past history as shown this to hurt Pennsylvania participants at the national event.

  3. A more challenging condition allows the skill of the participant to be the major deciding factor in determining the winners of the event.
