Latest National Rankings for February released
There has been little movement in the latest National Rankings with Lee Schraner and Rebecca Van Asch continuing to hold slender leads at the top.
Elsewhere, all top-ranked players by state/territory also remain the same, with few events held in February.
The National Rankings System operates on a yearly rolling-points system, where all points accrued are retained for a twelve-month period and are then discounted.
The rankings year concludes at the completion of the Australian Open in June 2019, with the number one ranked male and female players earning the titles of Male and Female Bowlers of the Year and $3,000 prize purses each.
Players can accrue ranking points from all national events, State Championships, State Champion of Champion and selected club events.
