Competition info 

  • Open to all sections
  • The competition will run from the start of January to the end of December. Entries will open just before January and close in January the following year, for any stragglers.
  • Enter your teams, go bowling, and remember to record the scores!
  • You can enter as many teams as you like for one entry fee.
  • The scores are for one game.
  • You enter your teams by section, so if you mix age ranges on a lane, keep track of individual scores.
  • Minimum team size is three if you don't have six players
  • If you don't have six in the team, we will just take an average of the number that you do have
  • The results will be based on the average of those scores
  • We do not need proof of your score "a scout is to be trusted"
  • We will publish the results by email and on this website as soon as possible after the end of the competition, allowing a week or two for any final scores to be entered.
  • Certificates of participation are available on the download page, if you want something to give to those that take part on the night (or buy badges a couple of weeks in advance!)
  • We will email results certificates for all teams that enter results
  • If your age ranges don't match the UK, please put your team in the section of your oldest member
  • Gutter bumpers/barriers: teams will get a points bonus for NOT using gutter bumpers. Yes, we imagine most/all Beaver/Cub age teams plus older members that need help due to additional needs will use bumpers, and that's fine.

NOTE: Canadian five pin bowling - this is fine, you can take part no problem, you're welcome, please tell us in the final notes question on the entry form
