Who we are and what we do!
The E.B.P.A. came into being some 24 years ago
with the aim of being an active lobbying body that could react more
quickly than the existing multi-layered administrative bodies.
Apart from our lobbying work the Association
has, this in the past twelve months, introduced, in conjunction with gala
Leisure, a Masters Tour Series of events - competition at the highest
level open to all competitive bowlers at very affordable membership and entry
fees.
This year all the Masters events
have taken place at the Bournemouth IBC. Next year it is planned to hold
three Masters Tour events at different locations affording more members
the opportunity to enter.
The Masters Tour takes the
place of the prestigious Max Engel Trophy, for the past 22 years a highly competitive indoor singles
competition through which members qualified from regional centres.

Mike StanleyI was made a Life Member. "I feel very
honoured" he emailed me.
Tournament Format change
I
understand that the tournament format will change as follows:
There
will now be a maximum entry of 64, divided into 16 groups. A round robin stage
will guarantee everyone at least 3 games. The top two from each group go through
to the knock-out phase. Each game in the the round robin matches will be one set
of 9 ends or perhaps 2 x 5 end sets. Details to be confirmed! The knock-out phase format will
probably be the same as this year; 2 sets of 7
ends with a 3 end tie-break.
ENDS
This
appears to be a very good point at which to again draw members attention to the EBPA
Forum and suggest that members visit said forum and add your comments,
start a new thread if necessary.
