We are live again…! No EBT tournament has been since February 2020 and finally it has started….

After two steps of 8 person round robins then we 4 athletes compete in the semifinals and finals live on Finnish National TV. Results as follows:

Lukas Jelinek, CZE 192 vs William Svenson SWE 185

Samu Valaranta, FIN 215 VS : Lukas Jelinek, CZE 204
This was the first win for Samu Valaranta, Finland on the European Bowling Tour.
Highest ranked woman became Joline Person-Planefors, Sweden.
After the Brunswick Ballmaster Open 2021 we have combined the EBT 2020 + EBT 2021 Ranking points and there are some changes on the leader board…
For the Woman Ranking then Joline Person Planefors just increased the lead, but the other that were in top 5 were not partizipating in Helsinki.
For the Men Ranking then William Svensson From Sweden has taken over the lead and followed by former leader Christopher Sloan from Ireland and Teemu Putkisto, Finland is third.
During the ETBF Congress in Unterföhring, Germany, in 2019 the member federations decided that:
From 1st January 2021 no coaches will be allowed in the competition area unless they are certified coaches as ETBF Level II coaches or equivalent by one of the national or international programs approved/recognized by ETBF and/or IBF (former World Bowling).
During our future Championships, if your coach is not mentioned in the approved list and/or is not able to provide a certification, then:
– S/he cannot register as a coach and get a medal as a coach
– S/he cannot enter players area during Championships (Including Official Practice)
In order to help our federations, our Educational Committee prepared a list of ETBF Certified coaches who are eligible to enter the players area (Please note the certified L2 and higher graduated coaches in green in your federation page).
If your coach is not mentioned there or certified at a later date, please contact Marios Nicolaides – mn@etbf.eu and/or Onder Gurkan – og@etbf.eu Please remember that if your coach has an equivalent level – you should provide the certificate to the Championship Committee when you are registering your coach.

….alone we can do so little; together we can do so much…
The Host of Brunswick Ballmaster Open, in Helsinki Finland, is taking the opportunity and is hosting the postponed Brunswick Ballmaster Open during 14-22 August 2021

Unfortunately, due to heavy scheduling in the beginning of 2022 we are forced to postpone the ESC2022 that was scheduled end of January 2022 in Aalborg, Denmark
We are working on finding new suitable dates and will inform as soon as possible.
It is my sad duty to inform you that ESBC Honourable Member Paul Douw from The Netherlands has passed away this Tuesday.
Paul was a good friend to many bowlers all around Europe and the World. He served the ESBC Organization as Secretary from 2002 to 2008 and as President from 2008 to 2017. While he led the organization, ESBC and the ESBC Championships have grown tremendously to social events. Due to starting health problems, Paul was forced to step down after 15 years of membership in the ESBC Presidium and was appointed Honourable Member. Now, he had to give up his last fight with cancer.
Our thoughts and feelings are with his family and his wife Annemarie. We will always honour Paul’s memory.
On behalf of the ESBC Presidium.

Secretary
European Senior Bowlers Committee

As our beloved sport and industry are hit strongly by the pandemic, the ETBF Presidium and Educational committee decided to use this as an opportunity to enhance their educational programs.
The ETBF Academy Development Team will work on our existing coaching programs’ content and structure and will evaluate the options to make it more accessible via online channels. Besides improving our content for Coaching, Lane Maintenance and Ball Drilling programs, our team will work on creating additional online clinics for more advanced and focused content.
An ETBF Level IV Coaching Program will be the core part of our 2021 Development Project, which will provide a very important addition to our Coaching Programs. ETBF Senior Instructor Juha Maja will lead the Level IV Program which is planned to be released in 2022.
Ulf Hämnäs (Norway), Robert Anderson (Sweden), Mark Heathorn (England) and Calvin Murray (Scotland) will join our Development Team with our Educational Team members (Onder Gurkan, Marios Nicolaides, Piritta Maja, Costas Mitsingas and Gediz Ege). Our team will also communicate and work with various coaches and experts during this process.
We are very excited to start creating new contents and updating our programs for our federations.
Best regards with our hopes to come back to normal days …
