Winter League
The Winter League tends to do most things differently to most other leagues and this latest venture extends that habit. Building on the fantastic success of the Individual KO competition, the Winter Cup which attracted 142 entries last year, the intention is to hold a new Pairs KO competition with a similar format but a few differences.
Here is early notice of what this competition is all about.
Each of the 8 divisions will hold its own qualifying round
The top two pairs from each qualifying round will progress through to the Quarter-Finals
The top 8 will then progress through to Finals Day
All matches will be played at Thorpe Green
The qualifying rounds will start in December and be held on 8 Fridays
The Division 1 qualifying round will be held on 20 December to avoid a clash with the Friday Milnsbridge League which has a blank day on that date
Pairs bowlers must bowl for the same team in the League
Bowlers must have played a minimum of 2 Winter League matches to qualify to enter
Entry fee of £3 per bowler
Division based handicaps will come into play from the Quarter-Finals
Handicaps will apply to all rounds for Inter-District and County bowlers
Handicaps will apply to all rounds for Thorpe Green club bowlers
All matches up to Finals Day will be 15-ends or 21-up whichever comes first
This is just a taster for this new competition prior to releasing more details including dates for the qualifying rounds in the near future. Entry forms will be online or on matchdays at each host green.
