Women’s IRRR 2021 Wrap Up

by Denise McMillan on April 23, 2021

The women’s metro Inter Region Round Robin (IRRR) was hosted this past weekend by Southern Region at Willetton Bowling Club.  This event is unique in that players are selected on a points basis dependant on which division they are playing in pennant competition, and as such players of various divisions play together for their respective region.

This event hosts 96 bowlers, 24 players from the following Regions:

  1. Eastern
  2. Northern
  3. South Coastal
  4. Southern

The players compete in three regional round-robin games of 18 ends prior to an All-Star Game where the 8 of each region’s best players are selected to compete in three 50-minute timed games against each other region.

In a new scoring format where game points come first, followed by total margin if points are even, the following results occurred:
