The 2012 national finals promise to be an exciting and grueling test of bowling skill and mental fortitude. Our goal - to define America's top 18 & Under and 14 & Under bowling champions!

Hosted by the largest bowling center in the United States, Freeway Lanes Wickliffe, the finals will present the challenge of two Teen Masters oil patterns, 42' long and 35' short oil patterns. Those who survive the first cut will advance to face "Mixed Pairs" where the right lane is oiled "short" and the left lane is oiled "long."

New for 2012, the Teen Masters will stage round robin match play to determine the four 18U boys and four 18U girls who will advance to New York City to compete for national titles in Grand Central Terminal!
