THE DRIVE BOWLING CLUB COMPETITION RULES

The Challenger (the first named player) in all Competitions must offer their Opponent a choice of at least two dates on which to play their match.  However, the Opponent should not wait for the Challenger to make first contact to avoid overrunning the cut-off date for the round.

Once a date and time have been agreed, the Challenger should book a Rink and in Singles, a Marker.
