Winter League
After going out of sequence yesterday by posting the Division 2 bowler tables we revert to type by catching up with the missed out Division 3 tables today.
Today it is the turn of the Division 3 candidates for the Top Bowler award and it is not often that we find the leading contender coming from a team in the relegation places but that is what we have at present. Huddersfield Recreation Club bowler Trevor Atkinson leads the way. Also of interest is the fact that half of the top 10 bowlers in the Pairs table are lady bowlers, dispelling the myth that lady bowlers cannot be competitive on a large green.

Tomorrow it is the turn of the Division 1 leading individual candidates in the last update this week on the race for the Division's end-of-season trophy.
Every season we acknowledge and reward the achievement of the top performing bowlers in each of the 8 Divisions of the Winter League by the awarding of a perpetual trophy and a small award to keep.
The criteria for the running order was determined by the teams at the 2021 AGM and has remained unaltered since then. We merge the Singles and Pairs results to produce one grand total that determines the place in the table of each bowler. Then it is the number of wins followed by the Aggregate Difference to sort out the actual placings in the table which is updated every week on our Bowlnet pages.
There is a minimum number of games that bowlers must have played to qualify to be in the running order and that stands at playing in 60% of the 14 games of the season in each Division. That equates to 9 games as a minimum that bowlers muct play to be within a chance of winning the Top Bowler award. Bowlsnet is very clever in that it will recognise right through the season which bowlers can no longer achieve that total and will push them to the bottom of the table.
We are producing the updated tables for each Division, one a day right through to New Year's Day when it will be the turn of the Division 1 bowlers. Today it is the turn of Division 3 and for interest we provide the top 10 places in the Singles and Pairs tables but it is only the combined scores that will point towards the awarding of the Top Bowler trophy in each Division.
You can see the Top 100 bowler placings by Singles, Pairs or Combined Scores in each Division on our Bowlsnet pages and they are automatically updated every time a match result is entered so are always up to date.
