It has been found that a trade fare in Munich is overlapping the first days of the original conduction period of the European Men Championships 2019.
Since the consequence of this would be both availability issues for hotel rooms and very high room rates, the German Bowling Federation and the ETBF Presidium have agreed upon a slight displacement of the conduction period.
The original conduction period was 5 June (last day of arrival) to 16 June (first day of departure). The new period will be 10 June (last day of arrival) to 21 June (first day of departure).
The changed period also influences the ETBF Congress, which will be held on 9 June 2019 instead of 4 June 2019, as originally published.
As a consequence of a sponsorship agreement, Stop 11 of the European Bowling Tour 2018 is changed from Rome Open to Rome Open All4bowling.
