We invite ALL NEW registered bowlers from the WWCBA Registrar List (Not BCGBA Card Renewals or Lost Cards) who have registered within the past year If your BCGBA Registration number is 21193 or greater you will be eligible to play. The format is subject to the number of entries and cost only £3 with some prize money thanks to the kind sponsorship of Copson Builders.
Limiting the Registration to this year ensures that players will be playing matches against people of similar experience and have a chance to enjoy a merit competition experience. As the notice implies the further adaptation ensures a levelling-up of abilities to use a unique rule of Jack to Opponent.
However, we have registered over 400 people since last year’s event, so we do need entries quickly to prepare facilities or adapt the event.
The rules of the competition will follow the standard “laws of the game” with one exception of the following: “The Loser shall be the Leader and have the first attempt to set a mark at the succeeding end”. (Law 3.2) to be known as Jack to Opponent “J2O”
We hope to run if possible as a round-robin (several games of 11-up) qualifiers to a last 4 playing a knockout final (21-up). However, the event rules would need flexible adaptation and to encourage Juniors to take part which would be dependent on the entry acceptance agreed by the competitions Committee.
Can Club Secretaries please submit the interested players who are eligible from your club including their BCGBA Number, Contact Details email/phone number?
