2022 Ranking Winners Announced

By Tenpin Bowling Australia
December 12, 2022

The National Rankings for 2022 have been finalised following the conclusion of the 2022 ranked event season.

After a disrupted two-year period with COVID restrictions, 2022 saw every event scheduled at the start of the year (except the Darwin Tenpin Cup) completed. The increase in events saw each division compete in several events that saw many outstanding performances on the lanes.

Ten divisions fight for ranking points throughout the year.

  • Junior Female
  • Junior Male
  • Youth Female
  • Youth Male
  • Women’s
  • Open
  • Senior Female
  • Senior Male
  • Grand Senior Female
  • Grand Senior Male

Ranking points are recorded only for bowlers who have silver-level membership before bowling a ball in the ranked event they participate.  From first place, all the way down to 99th place is awarded ranking points if they meet the eligibility requirements. The maximum number of points received in an event is 100 points.

The Grand Seniors, Seniors, Open, Women’s, and Youth division winners will receive $1000 and a winner’s Plaque. In addition, the Junior division winners will each receive a $500 voucher to be used for any TBA Ranked Events or TBA National Team payments within the following 12 months and a winner’s plaque.

Tenpin Bowling Australia congratulates the following ranking winners of each division.
