Bowling Extravaganza Rules

Each team has 8 players.  Only teams with 8 different named players will be placed in the final scoring positions. Teams with less than 8 players may compete but will not provide a final score.


At the start of each game 8 individual team members must be named and entered into the Bowling system.


BLAGSS organisers will check the names of each team member.


If a player fails to turn up for any reason another member of the team cannot play twice until they arrive.


At the end of each game Teams will complete the Team Sheet, using actual names and return to the Organisers Table.


The computerised system will provide the scores of each team member on each lane but the computer system cannot do the maths across the two games, this will be done manually by the organisers.
