The event will be the same format as televised BPL matches, but two-bowl triples. There will be two sets of five ends and one end tie-breaker if required. The BPL competition is known for its fast paced, quick format games and is bringing the game of bowls into the 21st century.
Club Secretary of Robertson Bowling Club, Stuart Whyte said it's an exciting new format of bowls.
"It definitely shows a different side of bowls which will hopefully attract people to the game," Mr Whyte said.
"It's a faster, light heart version of the game and it's something different. We'd love for everyone to come give it a go. We're a friendly, local club and it will be a great day of fun.
"It will be an enjoyable day out for family and friends."
There will be teams of three or four players. Three players play each end (substitutes allowed at completion of end).
All players in the team must be members of the same club and it's sectional play for all rounds. There is a max of 16 teams per venue.
Winners will progress to the Regional Finals played in mid September. State/Territory finals will be in late September, early October.
Winners of the State/Territory finals will win an all expenses paid trip to the National Finals at Club Pine Rivers from Nover 11-15.
Entries for the BPL Cup close at midnight on Wednesday, May 29. Draws will be published on the BPL web page on Thursday and Friday (May 30-31).
It's $60 to register per team or $15-$20 per player. For more details and to register, please go to www.bowls.com.au and click the event tab.
