LADIES AND GENTS SINGLES – PRESIDENT’S CUP

Over the past few years there has been a marked decline in the number of members taking part in both the Ladies and Gents Presidents Cup singles competitions, in consequence the committee has decided to introduce a new format. We will make the competitions a single day event to be held on Wednesday 26th July. Start time TBA (dependent on the number of entries).

Our green can take a maximum of 8 rinks, so in singles games 16 bowlers can bowl at any one time. Playing 4 wood singles for 8 ends.  Shots only to count. Winners go through to the next round. Losers of round 1 qualify for entry to the plate. Normal Rules regarding touchers and dead ends.

   Round (1)         16 Bowlers, 8 qualifiers.

   Quarter final       8 Bowlers, 4 qualifiers.

    Semi finals         4 Bowlers, 2 finalists .

The finalists will play one another on the finals day in September.

The first round losers will qualify for the Longthorpe Plate.

The draw for opponents will take place immediately before each round using the Gold and Silver discs we use for roll ups, i.e. the bowler who draws silver 5 will play the bowler who draws gold 5 on rink 5.   The gents will mark for the ladies and vice versa.

Please enter your name on the list on the Notice Board in the home pavilion if you wish to play.  Closing date Friday 21st July.

We hope that you will support this new format of singles which we hope will reinvigorate our club competitions.
