8-A-Side
8-A-Side is a new competition introduced by Bowls Qld. It comprises Men’s Pairs, Women’s Pairs and Mixed Fours (4 Women 4 Men) to make a side.
The event starts at Club level (knock-out or round-robin), progresses to District play-off (knock-out), then goes to Zone Play-off (knockout) and the winner goes onto State Final.
If a club doesn’t have enough for a competition they can nominate a Club Side to compete in the District Play-offs.
