to answer the questions posted so far:
I am awaiting the list from Dandenong Bowl, to update the entries. The bowl is accepting all posted entry forms. At last count the bowl had received 17 entry forms, this plus the entries on the TotalBowling now gives us 21 teams.
To answer the question in relation to the TBA sanctioning:
With the changes to the sanctioning in Victoria, with a number of bowlers now sanctioned with Non-Affiliated Associations of the TBA, it has been decided NOT to sanction this tournament with any Association.
You will still be required to be a registered bowler of an Association in Australia. This has been decided to allow us to ensure that all bowlers are eligible to bowl in this event, without being subjected to average restrictions, because they do not bowl in a league that is sanctioned by the tournament sanctioning association.
All bowlers will still need to provide average verifications, due to this being a handicapp event, and the tournament director reserves the right to rerate any bowler prior to the start of play, or after a written complaint and investigation of that complaint.
Please be aware that the tournament will now be goverened by a new set of tournament rules, which will be published in the coming days, along with an updated entry form.
Any questions please feel free to ask. I do apologise for the delay in responding to the previous questions. I will endeavour to answer in a more timely manner moving forward, circumstances permitting.
Regards
Lance
