THE DRAW:
Participants
come to the Canada 55+ Games for a variety of reasons, but most importantly to
play the 'sport' of their choice. When making the draw up for this event, it is
important for the Host to remember that this event should be spread out over
all three days of the Games, and may, dependant on the number of lanes
available, have to be extended into some of the evenings. Each Bowler (in
Singles & in Teams), should expect to be scheduled to bowl, at the very
minimum, 4 games.
Note: Scheduling may or may
not permit single’s bowlers to also bowl on teams. The Host Committee is to ensure that provinces/territories are
advised as soon as known as to
whether singles bowling and team bowling will be conducted concurrently or separately. It is also
essential that Prov/Terr Directors inform
the Host Committee as soon as possible as to whether they have bowlers
that plan on bowling in both singles and team 'IF' this can indeed be
accommodated.
