    Terms Used in Weekly Social Listings


    This site is used by bowlers all over Australia and there are variations in the meanings of some words. For example we do not use the word 'open' because it has three different meanings. These are some of the terms we use

  • Mixed Pairs or fours - equal numbers of men and women, sometimes women playing lead and third

  • Cosmopolitan or Any Gender or Open Gender - men and women can play in any position, can be all men or all women

  • Social Mixed, Men or Women - the game played depends on the number of entries - ring before you go

  • Entry type - 'single entry' is known as 'drawn' and 'team entry' is known as 'nominated' in some states

  • Scroungers, Mixnmingle, Skins and other games - For information about such games click on this link ideas for tournaments & social games" As clubs tell me about innovative social games I am adding them to this
