PRESS RELEASE
2023 Main Tournament 14th-19th August 2023
We shall only be offering THREE Open events, all 15 ends, Singles (3 Woods), Triples (3 Woods) and Pairs (15 ends). All events have a Prize Fund of £800 (subject to entry numbers – see Entry Form for details). Prize Fund may be adjusted if we secure significant Sponsorship.
Each Singles & Triples competitor(s) are guaranteed a game each day - Monday to Thursday. There will be four groups who will play a Round Robin across these four days. The Top Four from each Group will proceed to Friday for a straight knockout, down to the last Four who will then battle it out on Saturday to take a share of “the £1000” prize fund for each event.
Timetabling will ensure competitors can take part in all events if they so wish but please be prepared to last the whole day Monday to Thursday … you’re guaranteed at least TWO games each day.
The drought of volunteers unfortunately includes Markers such that we now REQUIRE Singles entrants to MARK two games. The committee feel if you’re able to play Singles you should thus be able to MARK as well (no excuses).
The Pairs will be a straight knockout. Pairs FINAL will be held on Friday 18th August 2023 UNLESS both Pairs Finalist’s agree to play on Saturday 19th August 2023.
The Tournament Conditions of Play will be available on the website (& on site) in due course – Final Entry Numbers (not known until 16th July 2023 (Closing Date) will determine the exact format of the last two day’s of play.
Parking remains challenging. We still provide the Extension to the Max 4 hour stay for the adjacent P&D Car Parks courtesy of Hastings Borough Council.
The Committee regret that the 2023 Hastings BowlingTournament will be the last UNLESS we receive significant sponsorship as well as more volunteers to join the Committee.
