Bowling Arm players started to participate in the All Abilities Championships in 2017 where they were part of the Physical Disability category.
In 2018 there was a separate category specific to Bowling Arms and over 24 players participated – doubling 2017 participation numbers.
Such was the interest that in 2019 the Bowling Arm players were given their own state event – the Bowling Arm State Championship Singles – held annually at Warnbro Bowling Club.
2026 Bowling Arm State Championships – Singles
The 2026 State Bowling Arm Singles will run from Friday 15 to Sunday 17 MAY at Warnbro Bowling Club. The first two days format of play is sections of three (3) where the player with a Bye marks the others games. Possible Alignment and Knockout Rounds will be played on the first two days – May 15 and 16. The third day of play – MAY 17 – will start with Quarter Finals, then Semi Finals, and the last round will be the Final game with equal thirds applying to the Bronze game.
