That’s not the age limit to bowl in the vets but the number of games that players in the 10-man league Sections 1 and 2 can play before being barred from playing in a clubs B team or the 6-man league. FULL STOP.

Our Rule 1c in the HVBA Year Book was introduced this year to replace the contentious Starred Bowler ruling. It’s been made quite clear throughout the season with correspondence to club reps and on this website. It’s quite simple to operate. All you or your captain have to do is to check your averages on Bowlsnet and if it’s 14 or more the rule applies to you.

Our league secretary is religiously checking on bowlsnet and any player on 14 is being de-selected for 6-man squads and B teams. Any team contravening this rule by adding a barred player as A N Other will lose the match 21-0. SIMPLE AS.
