Laguna Beach Host
LBLBC will host the 5 Man All-Star, the last Southwest Division Men's tournament of the year. This is the culmination of a year's worth of competitive bowling where each Southwest Division Lawn Bowling Club enters a team of 5 men to compete with one another on Sunday, November 12, 2023 here at our club.
Because there will be 2 games going on at the same time per team and at least 10 teams competing, both greens will be used. The membership is however encouraged to drop by, watch the best men bowlers perform, and cheer on our team.
Qualification Criteria
Open to men whose primary club is LBLBC.
- The most number of Southwest Division Points earned during the year.
- If tied, then the most number of non-novice points Open Tournaments listed on the SWD website. (1st 10 pts, 2nd 7 pts, 3rd 4 pts). Deadline October 31st.
- If tied, then most number of LBLBC Club Tournament points. Deadline October 31st.
- A bowl-off (which would be interesting).
The club will invite the top 6 qualifiers to field a team (5 bowlers and the 6th being the alternate). If a qualifier declines, the next qualifier in line will be invited.

2023 Coast League
Last Year's Winners
The Laguna Beach Lawn Bowling Club!
By virtue of winning the 2022 Coast League, Laguna represented the league and came out victorious at the prestigious Waterbury All-League Championship held at Laguna Woods on Saturday, November 12th, 2022.
Laguna competed against winners of the other SWD leagues:
- Citrus League (Redlands, Riverside area)
- Gold Coast (Santa Barbara area)
- South League (San Diego, Coronado)
- Valley League (Santa Anita, Pasadena area).
What Is Coast League?
Originally established by Dr. R.J.Carey of Long Beach in 1959, Coast League is where area lawn bowling clubs compete against one another at each other's lawn bowling club locations. The intent is to encourage inter-club play and offer lawn bowling clubs and their members an opportunity to gain experience on greens of different caliber by visiting other clubs.
The winner of the Coast League is invited to compete in the Waterbury All-League Championship along with the winners of four other SWLBA (Southwest Lawn Bowling Association) leagues. Championship winners will have their names enscribed on the following trophies:
- 1st - Dr Carey Trophy
- 2nd - MacDonald Trophy
- 3rd - Arnold Angell Trophy
League Specifics
- A yet to be determined number of clubs will be competing in the 2023 Coast League.
- The cost is $4 per person per day.
- Each club will have either 2 or 4 triples teams.
- The scores from all triples teams will be counted in the team score.
- Number of wins will be divided by the number of games played to determine winning percentage score.
- Standings each week will list teams in order of winning percentages.
- The win-loss ratio of each club's teams for a particular day will be determined. So, for instance, if the 3 of the 4 LBLBC triples teams win their games, the LBLBC win ratio will be 75%.
- The club with the highest % of wins over the season will advance to Waterbury.
Format
Fridays: 8:30am – 3:30pm
Format – 2 x 14 end Triples games

There will be no chips or salads provided. All that will be provided is water and coffee. (Please figure out a way to identify YOUR bottle of water from the others...maybe bring a rubber band or ribbon to place around it-?)
