ABC/WIBC Rule 101d states when a league includes both youth and adults and does not offer merchandise awards valued over $50 or cash or bonds, only adult members are required to pay membership fees. Thus, youths could bowl in the league using their YABA card unless the league requires they purchase one. If the league starts side pots later, the youths would have to quit to protect their YABA eligibility. Such leagues are not considered adult/youth; they are adult leagues which allow youths to join.
