As per the Asian Seniors Bowling Council rules for the event, the number of players representing each
country is determined by the host country. Whilst every endeavor will be made to invite the maximum

consisting of:
1. 4 teams of 4 male and 4 teams of 4 female bowlers in the senior’s division (total 32)
2. 4 teams of 4 male and 4 teams of 4 female bowlers in the grand senior’s division (total 32)

the event in the year of the championship i.e.2020
4. Bowlers must, compete in a minimum of three (3) ranked Senior events between January and June

count. (Bowlers who will turn 50 in 2020 (ageing in) please refer to paragraph 5.
5. Bowlers ageing in to senior’s events i.e. turning 50 during 2020 must be a silver member in both
2019 and 2020 and compete in a minimum of 3 ranked Senior events in 2020.
Please note that priority for final placement into the senior’s squad shall be given to those
bowlers who have competed in senior’s tournaments in both 2019 and 2020. Bowlers ageing in
to seniors in 2020 will only be eligible for selection if there is a shortfall of nominations received
by seniors (not including grand seniors) who have fulfilled the requirements of bowling in 3
ranked senior’s events in 2019 and 2020.
**If there are more ageing in seniors than places available, all eligible nominations will be invited
into the squad with the bowler’s best 3 events between January and June 2020 to decide who will
be selected into the team. (Note: Remaining ageing in bowlers will miss out on a place in this
situation and will be named as reserves in the event of any withdrawals from the team).
6. Bowlers must be Australian citizens in the year of the championship i.e.2020Selection into the Australian Squad
The Seniors Australian Squad will be named by Friday 13th December 2019.
1. If more than 64 applications are received taking into account the respective number of bowlers
required in each division, the points standings outlined in paragraph 4 of the eligibility requirements
will be used to determine the bowlers who have earned the right to represent Australia in 2020.
2. The allocation of bowlers into specific teams will be made based on the bowler’s rankings points
accrued from their best 3 (three) finishes from ranked senior’s events between January to June
2020. Should there be a tie on points affecting the placement of bowlers into a team e.g. a tie for
4th and 5th position the bowler with the highest average finishing position will be placed in the
higher team.
3. Team placement of ageing in bowlers will be conditional on these athletes competing in 3 ranked
senior’s events between January and June 2020. Aging in bowlers need to be 50 years of age
prior to the Asian Seniors Championships in 2020. In addition, there is a requirement to
complete a nomination form in 2019, indicating their intent.
4. If there are more nominations in the Grand Seniors Division than places available, and there are
vacancies in the Seniors Division teams after including ageing in bowlers, those additional Grand
Senior bowlers will be placed in the vacant positions in the Seniors teams. (i.e. if there are two
vacant positions in the Seniors Men’s team and there are additional Grand Senior men nominees,
then those additional nominees will be placed in the team according to their ranking position).
5. In the event a bowler who has nominated for selection is unable to meet the eligibility
requirements due to a significant and prolonged injury or illness, the bowler may apply to TBA for
special consideration. Placement in the squad or team will be at the discretion of the seniors’ sub-
committee.
