Dorchester Open Singles Circuit 2023

Open Singles Circuit

Dorchester is due to host an Open Singles Circuit event on the weekend 8-9 April 2023. Where 64 of the top bowlers in the country (including Dorchester's own Martin Puckett 2022 National Men's Singles Champion) will compete for large cash prizes. Details of the draw are available on the OSC draw page.

We need 6 volunteer markers to mark the first games on Saturday and Sunday. Saturday from 9:30am and Sunday from 8:45am. After each game, the losing player will mark their opponent's next game so it's only the first set of matches which need covering. Then you can relax and watch the rest of the action.

Also on Sunday afternoon we will need 4 markers to mark from the quarter finals onwards.

The job of marker is simply to centre the jack, answer the bowler's questions and record the score. No measuring is needed - this will be handled by umpires. So anyone who has marked a club competition will be able to do this.

One advantage of marking is you get the best view of the game!

Members will be free to come and watch, the bar and Joyce will be open, so put the dates in your diary.

Any assistance you can give will be a great help in making this weekend a success.
