WELCOME

As President of Bowls SA, it gives me great pleasure to

present the State Bowling Calendar for the 2021/22

season.

Whether it’s participating, officiating, hosting or visiting a

club for the first time, I encourage everyone to get involved

in this year’s South Australian State Events.

State events play a huge part in weaving together the

fabric of South Australian bowls. From the social

participant, to the high performer aspiring for the world

stage, visitors migrate from all over the state to enjoy the

calendar of festivities.

Bowls SA State Events are open to all players that are fully

registered members of affiliated bowling clubs. We

welcome all, from first timers to seasoned veterans to

participate.

We may be a competitive lot, but South Australians love to

socialise over bowls, so don’t be surprised if you make new

friends at whatever event you attend this forthcoming

season.

There are many ingredients to conducting a successful

event and I tip my hat to all the administrators,

volunteers, clubs, officials and sponsors, all whom ensure a

valued experience is had by all.

Regardless of what happens over the season, I know

spectators will be treated to wonderful displays of bowls,

and the utmost sportsmanship shown by all competitors.

Finally, I wish everyone involved the best of luck in the

2021/22 State Events and may the best players and teams

win.

Tim Dodds

The Bowls SA Replacement Policy has been established to increase participation in Bowls SA State Events and, where possible, prevent byes and forfeits.

In the following circumstances, replacement players/teams will be placed in a State Event draw at the discretion of the Operations Manager or Bowls SA Event Manager:

Byes created by uneven entries

• All State Events will be closed for entries at 12 midnight on the closing date advised.• Any entries received after the closing date will be placed on a ‘Replacement List’ controlled by the Operations

Manager.• When the State Event draw has been drafted, any byes will be filled from the ‘Replacement List’, in the order

received by Bowls SA.• Any late entries entered into the Draw to fill a bye will be contacted by Bowls SA.

Byes created by player/team withdrawal

• Any player/team who finds forfeiting unavoidable once the State Event Draw has been released is required to contact Bowls SA.

• The vacancy caused by a player/team withdrawal will be filled from the ‘Replacement List’ at the discretion of the Operations Manager.

• The replacement player/team and the opposition player/team will be notified of the changes to the Draw, the Bowls SA website updated and the venue manager will be notified

• If after the close of business on the final working day prior to the event, any player/team finds forfeiting is unavoidable, they are required to contact the Bowls SA Event Manager listed on the Draw.

• The Bowls SA Event Manager will then endeavour to fill the vacancy from the ‘Replacement List’ compiled by Bowls SA.

• Any player/team who does not advise the Operations Manager or the Bowls SA Event Manager of their intention to forfeit will incur a fine as per the ‘State Event Conditions of Play’ Clause 9.

• A player/team that withdraws from a State Event will not be eligible to be placed on the ‘Replacement List’ to re-enter the event.

Where a bye/forfeit cannot be filled, the competitor receiving the Bye/Forfeit shall be permitted to practice on the rink on which they would have been drawn to play in that round and that practice shall be counted as trial ends for the next game.

‘Laws of the Sport of Bowls’ - DR 2 - Replacements and substitutes - apply to team events.

Champion of Champions

Pairs: A Replacement must have full or junior/student registration of the same Member Club and must not have entered the Club Pairs Championships in the qualifying season. The replacement may play in any position.

Singles: Replacement players are NOT permitted.

REPLACEMENT REPLACEMENT POLICY POLICY

Bowls SA is promoting participation in State Events from the first-year player to the seasoned veteran. State Event sectional / knockout play is conducted within country Regions and the metropolitan area, with winners then coming together to contest the Finals against players from across the State.

The reasons for conducting qualifying in Regions are for logistical / travel purposes as well as ensuring a healthy representation of bowlers from different areas of the State once we reach the Finals stage of the State Event. Bowls SA has produced a State Events Entry Policy which describes where players are eligible to enter for their sectional / knockout play as well as outlining the restrictions in place for composite teams consisting of players from multiple Regions / areas.

Singles: Players must register within their primary club Region to play State Singles. If the minimum number of entries (4) is not received in their primary club Region, the player will have the option of joining a neighbouring country Region (with acceptance of the Regional State Event Manager of that area) or the Metropolitan qualifying draw.

Pairs/Mixed Pairs/Over 60’s Pairs:In State Pairs events, teams must register within the Region of the skipper’s primary club.

Composite teams must play in the order as registered. E.g the player who is skipping, must have their primary club within that Region. Failure to do so may result in the team being forfeited from the competition.

Where Composite teams have a player who is unavailable and a substitute is required, the other original player needs to skip, as the laws of the sport require substitutes not to play in the position of skipper.

Composite teams are able to apply in writing to the State Events Committee if there are extenuating circumstances to allow a team to have a skipper whose primary club is not within the Region that they have registered for to play the State Event.

If the minimum number of entries (4) is not received in the skipper’s primary club Region, the team will have the option of joining a neighbouring country Region (with acceptance of the Regional State Event Manager of that area) or the Metropolitan qualifying draw.

Triples and Fours:In State Triples & Fours events, teams must register within the Region of the skipper’s primary club.

Composite teams must play in the order as registered. E.g the player who is skipping, must have their primary club within that Region. Failure to do so may result in the team being forfeited from the competition.

Where Composite teams have a player who is unavailable and a substitute is required, teams are unable to skipper a player whose primary club is not within that Region as the laws of the sport require substitutes not to play in the position of skipper.

Composite teams are able to apply in writing to the State Events Committee if there are extenuating circumstances to allow a team to have a skipper whose primary club is not within the Region that they have registered for to play the State Event.

If the minimum number of entries (4) is not received in the skipper’s primary club Region, the team will have the option of joining a neighbouring country Region (with acceptance of the Regional State Event Manager of that area) or the Metropolitan qualifying draw.
