Australian Open countdown
Get yourself to the Gold Coast from June 13-25 and take part in the re vamped Australian Open and take a chance at winning a slice of the huge $225,000 prize pool; the Australian Open is for everyone! There is only one entry criteria Bowls Australia ask of everyone that enters the 2015 Australian Open, is that you are a financial bowling member when you apply, it’s that simple!
Unlike invitational tournaments and masters events, there are no stipulations on ability and there is no longer an arduous state-based qualifying campaign; you simply enter all three disciplines and you are guaranteed seven matches in the world’s richest bowls event.
Once upon a time players were requested to enter a state-based qualifying tournament and if you happened to only qualified in one event, you were left with just one guaranteed match in the main draw of the Australian Open.
As you are now guaranteed seven matches over the first six days of the play why not combine your Australian Open experience with a fantastic Gold Coast holiday.
The time is now to grab three of your bowling mates and enter the fours, split into two pair’s combinations and all have a crack at winning the whopping $16,000 singles cheque.
Now, your team will start on the same footing as everyone else; a start in the main event with a completely random draw, no Australian Open seeding’s or wildcards just a 13 day festival of bowls for everyone that loves the game.
Saying you’re not good enough will only prevent you entering a fantastic tournament, meeting bowlers from all around the world, enjoying the world class Gold Coast greens and beautiful sunshine, and defying the odds to go deep into the tournament.
Even the best players in the world can be beaten and everyone loves an underdog; wouldn’t you like to be the person that does the beating?
Get yourself to the Gold Coast from June 13-25 and take part in the re vamped Australian Open and take a chance at winning a slice of the huge $225,000 prize pool.
