| The EBYDS is administered by the English
Indoor Bowling Association Ltd (“EIBA Ltd”). |
| 1 | In the event of any disputes, the final
decision will be made by the EIBA. |
| 2 | Participants MUST
ONLY ENTER FROM ONE COUNTY. Any breach of this Rule
will result in disqualification of the competitor. If through lack of numbers a player can compete in another County. They may only qualify for their County if they qualify through their substitute County. Participants who do not turn up on the day, whether County, Regional or National, will not be allowed to take part in the following year. An appeal may be lodged with the EIBA and extenuating circumstances (e.g. illness and/or bereavement, etc) will be taken into consideration. Any appeal must be lodged within 7 days of the competition date. Where there is a conflict of interest, the participant MUST choose which commitment they are honouring, as failure to attend deprives someone of the opportunity to take part in the County, Regional and/or National event. A minimum of 14 (Fourteen) days notice of intention to withdraw is required. |
| 3 | Open to all young bowlers
who have not attained the age of 18 years on or by 30th
September 2024. The competition will be run in two sections: - • Juniors who have attained the age of 8 years but not 14 years on or by 30th September 2024. • Seniors who have attained the age of 14 years but not 18 years on or by 30th September 2024. |
| 4 | County Organisers MUST
check dates of birth. Where a form is received and the
participant is over-age, then that player will be disqualified.
It is a condition of entry to these events that a direct contact
email/address for each Participant is provided to the County
Organiser. C/O address referring to a Club will not be accepted. |
| 5 | The points from the Round
Robin singles will be added to the points obtained in the skills
tests and these totals will decide the qualifiers. If, when these two sets of points are added together there is a tied position from which there must be a result, the player with the highest shots difference will be the winner. If this does not find a winner, then the number of ends won will be taken into account. If this still does not produce a result then a 1 end sudden-death will be played. |

However, please note Rule 2 above re: entering from a neighbouring county). |
