Additional squads can be nominated and a bowler’s highest appearance in each singles, doubles and teams will count towards their All Events score. Each championship category will be broken up into the following age groups; 35-44, 45-54, 55-64, 65-74, 75+ and PWD (persons with a disability, all ages).

Disability bowlers will be required to provide evidence of their highest league average over 18 or more games as at 30 June 2025, this average will be used to determine their handicap. Grade allocation for Doubles & Teams will be calculated by the age of all bowlers in the event added together and then divided by the number of bowlers (resulting average age will be rounded up where required to form a whole number).
