ENGLISH BOWLING FEDERATION  

FORWARD INFORMATION re INDOOR CHAMPIONSHIPS

NEWARK IBC – 21st – 26th April 2009

Please see overleaf, the playing times for the first and second rounds of the above championships. As usual we start with the Ladies Harry Carver Team Competition on Tuesday 21st April and the individual competitions will start on Wednesday 22nd April. There will be four three hourly sessions each day for the individual competitions and these will be played over two or three days. There is the usual problem of competitors in more than one competition and every effort has been made to avoid duplications. However, should there be a duplication affecting the schedule it may be necessary to bring in a very late session. Also, if those competitors in more than one event keep winning, they may have to play continuously. There is little that can be done to avoid this and I hope those affected appreciate the problem.  

Play will commence each day at 9.30 in the individual events.

On the Sunday morning the Eversley Trophy final will be played followed by the Derbyshire final in the afternoon.

ALL COMPETITORS are asked to register on arrival at the office. Also to help with administration of the competition, markers in singles and skips in pairs and rinks events are asked to collect score cards from the board provided in good time before the start of each match and to return cards to the office immediately on completion.

Bowls will be examined for stamping. County stickers are required. For presentations, all finalists should wear the match dress as per rule 7.21(2) of the 2009 Federation Yearbook page 40. 

All competitors must accept that the championship committee have the right to change playing times whenever it proves absolutely necessary.
