There is no need to register for this league, it’s just a case of turning up on a Thursday afternoon by 1:45 latest. Subject to who turns up, we will organise you into matches, ideally into pairs so that we can play Aussie Pairs. Of course, we will need to accommodate all those who turn up, so depending on the numbers, some will be playing Aussie Pairs, ideally as many as possible, whilst the remainder will play triples that week (normal triples play).
Although you will be playing in pairs/triples, you will be scoring points on an individual basis for a league table.
Aussie Pairs – Format of Play
On the First End the LEAD bowler delivers two (2) of their four (4) bowls. Players swap ends. This is then followed by the SKIP bowling all four (4) of their bowls. Players swap ends. Finally the LEAD then bowls their remaining Two (2) Bowls completing the “end.”
On the Second End the order of play is reversed. The SKIP now plays the Lead position and bowls two (2) of their four (4) Bowls. Players swap ends. The LEAD player has now moved to being the Skip and bowls their four (4) Bowls. Players swap ends. Finally the SKIP, who is still playing as the lead on this end, bowls their remaining two (2) bowls.
The format of reversing the playing positions is then continued throughout the game. This is a great format as it ‘forces’ all players to consider and play all team positions i.e. a lead, a number 2 and a skip.
All other rules as per EBF rules.
