2024 World Bowls Indoor Championships Explained
The 2024 World Bowls Indoor Championships took place at the Guernsey Indoor Bowling Association in the Channel Islands from 21 to 27 April 2024.[1] The event was organised by World Bowls and the International Indoor Bowls Council (IIBC).[2] [3] [4]
The format of the Championships is one player representing each county in the singles and two in the pairs. A round robin determines the top player/team in each section progressing to the quarter finals and the second place player/team progressing to the knockout round. One second place team was also drawn out of the hat to progress to the quarter final.[5]
Jason Greenslade representing Guernsey after switching from Wales, won the men's singles event.[6]
