The Youth Grand Prix is a competition for youth players based upon a series of events or a round robin K.O. rather than a straight K.O.

Entry can only be through your County Association. Each county is asked to run a series of competitions locally e.g. a mini tour where players get ranking points or Round Robin event. Depending on the number of entries there will be between 4 and 8 county winners.

The county winners will then go forward to Regional Finals to compete against other county winners from your region. The Regional Finals will be held on one day on a round robin basis in groups.

Depending on the number of entries into your regions YGP determines the number of players who will go to the National Finals at Vauxhall Holiday Park, Great Yarmouth 4/5 November 2006.
