The British Crown Green Bowling Association is the ‘governing’ body to the game of Crown Green Bowling. The BCGBA looks after:

Rule of the Game
Coaching
BCGBA Competitions – Mens, Ladies and Juniors
Player Registrations
County relationships

The BCGBA is funded through subscriptions made by Bowling Clubs through the relevant County association. The BCGBA raises additional funds from grants, sponsorship and competitions.

The BCGBA website shows all BCGBA major competitions, past winners and future dates. Across the Association there are various County and Club competitions that contribute as qualifiers to BCGBA majors. Competitors taking part in any of the 32 Order of Merit competitions are awarded ‘merit points’. At the end of the season, the Order of Merit Final of 32 players determines the Champion of Champions.

The answer to this question is to take part in your County qualifying competitions and, if you can, enter Merit Open competitions.
