National League

Each year up to nine events are selected as National League events. The number of events that you may count towards the championship is usually 5 from 9. The best counting scores will be added together to determine the National League position of a competitor or team at the end of the year. Minimum qualifying scores are 200 points from counting events. One additional event will be nominated as an organiser's national event. This is to enable event organisers of National League events an extra qualifying event in lieu of the one they organise.

The overall winner at each event will score 100 points. All other finishers who have registered their BMBO number on their entry will receive a pro rata percentage of the winners score. e.g.:- Winner scores 400 points = 100 points, so a competitor scoring 300 points will score 75 league points.

All amendments to league scores must be notified to the league co-ordinator within 3 weeks of the scores first being circulated to members.

Prizes will be awarded in each league category at the end of the season. The number of prizes in each category will be determined by the number of teams or solos reaching the minimum qualifying standard in each category. The prizes will be awarded at an event to be nominated.

In the event of a tie, the following will be used, in order of preference, to determine the winner:

1.        Where the competitors have competed against each other in one or more events, then the better mean of such scores only will be used.

2.        The greater number of class wins.

3.        The next best discarded score(s) will be added.

In addition to the National League there are several Regional Leagues (mini leagues) administered by BMBO clubs in the region. These are listed on the Event Calendar page of this website.
