There have been some changes to the Bowls Hampshire Online website which affect clubs and players who have entered BH Competitions.

Walkovers - For walkovers, it is now not necessary to enter the names of the team giving the WO, just the names of the team progressing to the next round.

Notification emails - Players should now be receiving notifications when they have an opponent for the next round of a competition.

Player eligibility for County Club Championship(& other BH county comps) It has been pointed out to BH that in a previous season, a player played County Club for a different club to the one where the player played county competitions. This was against the rules and please note the confirmation of eligibility as below.

A player is not eligible to play for a club in the County Club Championship (or other BH Comp) if he plays his county comps at another club, this applies also to clubs in other counties as well as clubs in any other Bowls Hampshire area.
