The 22nd Asian Youth Tenpin Bowling Championships was officially declared open
earlier today during the opening ceremony at Sunway Megalanes in Petaling
Jaya, Malaysia.
The tournament will run from August 20 to 27,
2025, with 56 boys, 32 girls, and 38 team officials taking part from fourteen
countries.
Eight countries have entered full teams of four boys and four girls. These are
Japan, Korea, Kuwait, Macau, Malaysia, the Philippines, Singapore, and Taiwan.
Six other countries – Bahrain, Hong Kong, Qatar, Saudi Arabia,
Thailand, and Vietnam - will compete with boys’ teams only.
The championships will open with the Singles event on August 22. The Doubles
competition follows on August 23, while the Team events will be staged over
two blocks on August 24 and 25.
After eighteen qualifying games,
the top 16 boys and top 16 girls in the All-Event standings will qualify for
the Masters finals, scheduled for August 26 and 27.
The Masters finals will conclude with a Stepladder Shootout. The top three boys and the top three girls from the Masters will compete for the championship titles.
Malaysia has a strong tradition of hosting this event. The country first
staged the Asian Youth Tenpin Bowling Championships in 1996 at Genting
Highlands, and again in 2019 in Kuching, Sarawak. The 2025 edition will be the
third time Malaysia welcomes the region’s top youth bowlers.
