National Rankings System to shift to fully online
Bowls Australia will transition its National Rankings System online, streamlining the process for clubs and participants.
With BowlsLink now fully national, after Bowls Queensland recently adopted the platform, BA will look to turn the rankings process into an online system, providing automatic updates as events conclude.
This will be done in a staged process to assist clubs in the transition.
From July to December 2024, clubs are encouraged to run any National Ranking Events on BowlsLink.
Clubs who complete their event on BowlsLink will no longer be required to submit a Rankings Result sheet.
From January 1 2025, clubs which register a National Rankings Event will be required to use BowlsLink.
Club Tweed’s Golden Nugget, the Moama Prestige Pairs and Dubbo International Fours are among coming events which have already committed to this process.
The National Rankings System is expected to move fully online via BowlsLink from July 1 2025, with further details to be provided closer to that date.
BA BowlsLink manager Aaron Delaporte said this process will be a great step forward for the rankings system.
“These initial steps will hopefully allow for state, regional or district and even club rankings systems to be implemented so bowlers can compete for rankings points at any level of the sport,” he said.
BA BowlsLink staff are able to assist event organisers with events or provide answers to queries at bowlslink@bowls.com.au.
