Pennant Draw Season 2019-2020

Below is a copy of the Pennant Draws for season 2019/2020.

As you will note that both Midweek and Weekend Pennant B Division has been reduced in numbers. This has come about due to a number of club withdrawals. Additionally, the Midweek Division A sides have been adjusted due to the withdrawal of Corowa RSL

The Draws have been developed to accommodate the following:

  • Non availability of Greens due to major renovation programmes,
  • Lack of rinks available at some clubs for the number of teams entered by that club,
  • Endeavouring to meet the special requests by clubs (not always fully accommodated),

Unfortunately, at some facilities, at times throughout the season, sides will be split over 2 Greens (eg. Wodonga and YMGCR) and at times some sides will be required to play on the carpet at Benalla.

It is unfortunate, as in recent years, a number of clubs within some Divisions will play 3 games in a row away and at home due to lack of rink availability at some clubs causing manipulation of the Draws.

I know clubs/bowlers have been frustrated at not having access to the Pennant Draws earlier. Be advised that this is due to us not having access to the new Competition Module from Bowlslink due to its development. I have “bitten the bullet” and completed the Draws offline to get them to you. I have been advised that I should be able to import these Draws into the new system once it is available – fingers crossed!

Be advised that I am not in a position to advise the results reporting process for this season. This will be developed once I have access to the Competition Module. Additionally, I will not be updating the ‘Sides Captain Toolkit’ until we see what comes with the new system.

Should any club have any further queries on the Draws or matters relating to Pennant please advise using nmurrell@bigpond.com.au (due to travelling).
