2020 State Championships Arrangements
2020 Victorian Championships Arrangements
Following the deferral of State Champions Week in Bendigo in late April and the decision by Bowls Australia to continue to host the Australian Championships and the Australian Champion of Champions in November/December 2020, Bowls Victoria has made the decision to announce the proposed dates of the 2020 Victorian Championships.
The Victorian Championships will be played differently in 2020, across four weekends of play, in undercover venues.
The first three weekends will be held in Shepparton, Metropolitan/Geelong and Warrnambool. Players and teams will play their Last 16, Quarter Final and Semi Final matches in each discipline, until the final two players/teams are known.
Those final two players/teams will then qualify for “Super Saturday” an event held on August 1 at Deer Park Bowls Club.
Super Saturday will play host to all Victorian Championship Finals, as well as the Over 60s Singles and Pairs, and the Men’s and Women’s Novice Singles.
Due to the high probability that our Bowls Victoria community will be unable to attend due a limit on total numbers attending a venue at the beginning of August, the Super Saturday event will be live-streamed.
The following dates are proposed dates of returning to play and are subject to the further advice of the Victorian Government and Sport and Recreation Victoria. Until advised otherwise, all matches will take place with no spectators with only players and officials permitted for entry.
