Lincoln EBF Advanced Notice 2026
Lincoln IBC Men & Mixed Indoor Championship – 20th April – 26th April 2026
Please see below the playing times for the above championships. As usual we start with the Ladies Harry Carver Team Competition on Monday 20th April and the individual competitions will start that night due to the amount of duplications we have. There will be four three hourly sessions on Tuesday and Wednesday for the individual competitions and five sessions of two and a half hours on days 3, and 4 with at least one on the Saturday prior to the Derbyshire Final .The Eversley will be played on Sunday 26th April.
Unfortunately this will mean all triples matches are played on the first two days but it is the only way that we can avoid duplications and fit in the matches to be played by those bowlers who have qualified in two=45, three=14, four=7 and one in five competitions.
Every effort has been made to avoid duplications, however, should there be one which affects the schedule, it may be necessary to bring in a very late session. It follows that some of you will have to play continuously if you keep winning and I hope those affected appreciate the problem.
In view of this, if you have not already notified me of any substitutes, please do not nominate anyone who is already playing in another competition if it affects the schedule.
Play will commence each day at 9.30 in the individual events.
All competitors must accept that the championship committee have the right to change playing times whenever it proves absolutely necessary. Should any alterations be required prior to Lincoln then competitors will be notified. Some players will be required to play on the same rink more than once although not on the same day.
Please note that because of all the duplications if results do not go our way there may be another late session on the Friday and possibly 2 sessions on the Saturday.
DRUG ABUSE IN SPORT Anyone taking prescribed drugs should obtain a Doctor’s Certificate to that effect and present it to the Secretary at the commencement of the Championships. Ref Rule 4 DRUG ABUSE IN SPORT – page 38 of the 2026 Yearbook.
