The field features 72 under-18 bowlers, across the girls and boys tournament, taking part in group stages before moving on to finals contests, all in search of a share of the $11,500 prize pool.
After an initial section stage, competitors are sorted into gold, silver and bronze divisions, where they will then have finals rounds to negotiate.
The competition kicked off on Wednesday, October 1, with winners to be crowned on Thursday afternoon.
