MATCH PAIRINGS: In all rounds, the highest seeded remaining bowler will face the lowest seeded bowler remaining in competition. In the first two rounds of matches, the higher seeded bowler must win one game to win the match and advance to the next round; the lower seeded bowler must win two consecutive games to win the match and advance to the next round. In the third and fourth round of matches, one game will be bowled to determine the winner of the match. Bowlers eliminated in the same round of the finals will be placed in the standings based on their 12-game qualifying total to determine scholarship winnings.

The tournament is open to all male and female bowlers who were 21 years of age or younger as of August 1, 2018. Current or former PBA members are not permitted to bowl. Bowlers may choose to compete in either the scratch or the handicap division. In the handicap division, 80% of the difference between the bowler's average and 200 will be added to each game. Entry fee is $90 ($40 bowling and expenses, $50 scholarships). Entry fee paid after July 25, 2019 is $100.

There will be at least one scholarship prize awarded for each six participants in each division. The first place scholarship prize is guaranteed to be at least $1,000 in each division.
