This prestigious event will take place in the picturesque region of Normandy, at the Bowling Plaza Rouen Grand-Quevilly, from October 1st to October 6th, 2024.

Over 140 senior bowlers, aged 50 and above, will compete in this prestige International Senior Bowling Tour (ISBT) tournament recognized by both the European Bowling Federation (EBF) and the International Bowling Federation (IBF).

With a total prize pool of €33,000, including €3,000 each for the top men’s and women’s champions, BowlingGP France Senior 2024 promises to be an unforgettable event full of competition.

BowlingGP France Senior 2024 Tournament Format

The competition will feature individual categories for men and women, each aged 50 or above, with plenty of opportunities for participants to make their mark.

Qualification rounds will consist of 12 games split into two series of 6 games. Participants of both divisions may choose to re-enter for another series of 6 games, with their two highest scores counting toward qualification.

For the men's division, a total of 42 players will advance to the final stages. Athletes who qualify will go through multiple steps to filter the top contenders:

Step 1: 14 players positioned 15-28, along with 14 other qualifiers from Scratch, Early BIrd and Turbo competition standings, will battle it out in 4 games.
Step 2: The top 14 from Step 1 and those ranked 1-14 in qualification will face off in another round of 4 games.
From there, the top 16 players will engage in a match-play series, narrowing the field to the semi-finalists and then the finalists, in thrilling knockout rounds that determine the men’s champion.

For the women's division, 12 players will qualify for the final rounds:

Step 1 will involve a 6-game series to decide the top 4 semi-finalists.
A series of single-game matches will then determine the finalists and, ultimately, the women’s champion.

Additionally, local divisions for both men and women will give regional players a chance to shine!
