The Comet Bay Bowling Club

There are various formats of social bowls conducted at our club. These include:-

Internal Social Bowls

Intraclub social bowls

  • From Baldivis Bowling Cub to Warnbro Bowling Club – mixed triples
  • With Latitude Retirement Village – mixed triples
  • Other intra club games are arranged during the year. See the Calendar for any others.

Scroungers

  • Wednesday – be there by 1 for registration for a 1:30pm start
  • 3 players with 3 bowls each
  • The closet bowl to the jack gets 3 points, the next 2 points and the 3rd 1 point. This means that a player can earn from 6 to 1 points or none at all.
  • The game is usually of 16 ends
  • Penalties of -1 are invoked when:-
    • A jack or a bowl is bowled out of bounds or into the ditch
    • Penalties can be given if a player bowls out of turn
  • At the end of the 16 ends, winners are opposed to winners (losers also play amongst themselves) and the 3 highest scoring winners get to play in the final.
  • A monetary prize is given to that winner.

Friday Social Pairs

  • Be there by 1 pm for registration for a 1:30pm start
  • 2 players each side 3 bowls a piece
  • Like pennants, it is strictly scored on which side has the closest bowls to the jack at the end of the round. These can be from 6 to 0.
  • The game is usually of 16 ends with the winning side having the greater score
  • Like Scroungers the winners of this leg then play for the position of top team.
  • That team is selected by having the highest score
  • A monetary prize is given to the winner and runner-up

Community Bowls

  • Also known as ‘Barefoot Bowls’, this is played on Thursday starting at 6 pm so be there by 5:30pm for registration
  • This a social event for community members to try out bowling or just get together for a night of bowls, sausage sizzle, raffles prizes with the bar open at club prices.
  • The only prizes are to raffle winners.
  • The games are normally composed of 4 players per side playing up to 10 ends though this can vary as the situation demands.

**NOTE The penalty for a wrong bias in social bowls is a gold coin donation which will be donated to a local charity of our choice as part of our charity week fundraising.
