Tournament Details
One-day TOURNAMENTS including the following are also held.
(These are generally Round Robin events, the format dependant on the number of players.
Typically, the arrangement would be triples [except Talbot Flitch], playing 3 or 4 ends
before a change of rink and opponents. Each team is responsible for keeping their own
score, and the overall total number of points determines the winner.
With an even number of teams, this can be split into two groups, with the winners of
each group competing in a play-off)
Captains Cup Triples—teams of Triples with the skips selected by the Captain, and other
team members drawn.
Marjorie Bishop Rose Bowl—teams of Triples bowling to a fixed jack. Scoring is 3 points for
shot, 2 for second and 1 for third. Both teams can score.
Talbot Flitch—”His & Hers” event for married couples/partners (one man and one woman
living at the same address).
Yardstick Tournament—all bowls totally within 3 ft of the jack count. Closest
takes the mat for the next end.
Ladies v Gents - battle of the sexes!
In addition, we play every year for the LANGTON CUP. Originally, this was three ways between
Alresford, Ropley and Crondall. In recent years, it has been played between Alresford
and Ropley. However, with the unfortunate closure of Ropley, the competition has been revived
between Crondall and ourselves
The cup is awarded to the club with the aggregate highest score over the home and away legs.
The winner of the Pairs competition has also recently played Ropley Club’s winning pair for the
PRESIDENT’S CUP. The future of this is still not decided.
We also take part in the PETERSFIELD CUP, against other local clubs.
