​

Each team must include a novice or intermediate bowler who typically is partnered with an experienced bowler/mentor. For 2025, a novice is someone who has not bowled before Jan 1, 2025 and an intermediate is considered any bowler that did not bowl (or even join a club) before 2023 (a second or third-year bowler in 2025).

​

WHAT IS AUSTRALIAN PAIRS? Australian (Aussie) 4-bowl pairs is a ‘2-4-2’ format with no conventional skip or lead positions. One team member bowls the first two and last two bowls of the end, and the other member throws the middle 4 bowls. The following end, win or lose, the positions reverse. 

​

The convenor for this event is Graham Mason
