LBLBC Reinie Kramer Australian Pairs (Blind Draw)
The eighth LBLBC tournament of the season, the Reinie Kramer Australian Pairs (Blind Draw) is scheduled for Saturday September 28, 2019 at 9:00am. The price was $5.00 per person.
This is a very special tournament to the members who have been at the club for a while in that it celebrates probably one of the most hardcore competitors, kindest, and thoughtful members our club has ever seen. He would definitely challenge you to be your best in no uncertain terms. Reinie passed away in Feb 2018 at 78 after having won the last tournament he played just the day before. Reinie's family and friends will be in attendance during the lunch portion of the tournament.
We have 32 members signed up to play. The club needs each participant to confirm that he or she will be attending (at the club no later that 8:30am Saturday). Click here to send an email confirmation to the club.
Please note that there will be no 10:00am Social Bowls, nor non-tournament member access to the clubhouse or patio until after the tournament on Sat Sep 28th (~4:00pm).
Australian Pairs is a pretty cool format. Australian Pairs allows both people on a team to play Lead and Skip.
- In the first end of the game the Leads start off with 2 Bowls each. Then the Skips play their 4 Bowls. Then the Leads complete the end with their final 2 Bowls. Thus, the Leads act as Lead and Skip in the same end.
- In the Next End the roles are reversed. The Skips playing First with their Two Bowls. Then the Leads play their 4 Bowls. Then the Skips complete the End with their final 2 Bowls.
This alternating pattern continues throughout the game. Aside from the extra walking, in the Australian Pairs, the rules are the same as a normal Pairs Game.
This tournament is open only to LBLBC members. Competitors will be matched by blind draw. Bowler of the year points will be awarded!
- Check-in is at 8:30 AM.
- Trial ends start at 9:00 AM.
An even number of teams were accepted to prevent byes. This means that the number of people signing up are evenly divisible by 4. Sign ups were first come first served.
Remember to bring a bottle (to put our filtered water in). Or simply bring your own water. Please wear a club or white shirt and white shorts. No T-shirts please. Remember flat soled shoes and no flip flops.
