Youth Smash prize money

3 events between 2025 , with $2,000 to the champion at the richest of them. The junior week attached to a Grand Smash, and the only youth event with a Smash name on it.

The tour is a ladder, and this is one rung of it. What separates the rungs is not the format or the field: it is the cheque, and the gap between one tier and the next is wider than the gap between winning and losing a final at either of them.
