Turre Open 3-2-1 at Cabrera Bowling

The Turre Open At Cabrera Feb 7th and 8th

This is an open event for 16 teams of three players and the spaces will fill quickly so please register as soon as possible, either using the link below or in the clubhouse. If registering on the internet you must enter a full team of 3 people

This competition will take the form of a Round Robin with 4 groups of 4 teams. Any combination of players may enter provided they have some form of FAB membership or are members of an affiliated bowls association.

1. Each group match will consist of 15 ends. 3 woods to be used in all disciplines
2. The format will be 5 ends of triples, followed by 5 ends of pairs followed by 5 ends of singles
3. All players must play two disciplines in each match but the choice of singles player can be amended within the tournament.
4. The players not involved in the singles will act as markers
5. Matches will be played on dates and times specified.
6. Because of time constraints on group matches, the jack may be cast and set as soon as the teams are ready and a bell will be rung to commence play. The bell will be rung again 90 minutes after the starting bell. For an end to be allowed to be completed, the first jack MUST be cast before the 90 minute bell rings.  The first jack may still be in motion and can be set BUT NOT ACTUALLY CAST after the bell has rung.  Provided the first jack has been cast, that end may be played to a finish, including re-casting the jack, but no more ends can be started after that end is completed.
7. Toss up for the mat at the beginning of each match.
8. No visiting the head at any stage in the competition and no player may remain at the head whilst their opposition is bowling.
9. No trial ends.
10. A one shot maximum on the first end of each match.
11. If the jack leaves the rink (not in the ditch) it will be re-spotted on the ‘T’ or as near as possible in a straight line between that T and the T at the opposite end of the rink.
12. The umpire’s decision will be final if he/she is called upon during play. No appeal will be allowed.
13. In the group stages, 4 points will be awarded for each match won and 2 points for a draw. One point will also be awarded for each end won therefore  19 possible points per match
14. All group winners and runners up will progress to the next stage.
15. In the event of a points tie either at the top of a group table or 2^nd place, shot difference will decide which team goes through. If still tied the team that progresses will be decided on the head to head between the two teams in contention
16. The winner in the quarter finals, semi-finals and the final, will be the team scoring the higher shot total. In the event of a tie, a sudden death Triples end will be played.  Ends won will NOT count in the post-group knockout stages.
17. Post-group knockout matches will commence on the bell but will NOT be subject to a 90 minute bell or time limit. All other rules will remain in force.
18. Score cards for every match must be signed and timed by both skips and returned immediately to the competition organiser.
19. Late arrivals – group stage: If a team are more than 15 minutes late for a match or advises they cannot play a particular match (and unless there has been an express withdrawal from the competition before that 15 minutes expires), that match will be awarded to their opponents along with 15 ends and all 19 points. The opponents shall also receive a shot difference debit of 15 for that particular. No exceptions will be made for latecomers.
20. Late arrivals – knockout stage: The same 15 minute deadline will apply. The late team will be eliminated.  No exceptions will be made for latecomers.
21. If a team formally withdraws after the competition has started, the following will apply:

• For a team withdrawing from a group, any results from matches already played by the team in question will be expunged and the remaining teams will proceed as a smaller group.

22. The organisers reserve the right to amend the rules at any time if they believe it is in the interests of fairness and/or the smooth running of the competition.
