ETBF announces changes in European Bowling Tour schedule for 2011 and 2012

The European Tenpin Bowling Federation has announced some major changes in the European Bowling Tour 2011 and 2012.

The 2011 English Open originally scheduled for Nov. 16-20 in Nuneaton has lost its EBT (silver) status after changing to a "conditional prize fund" which is not permitted according to the EBT rules.

The 2011 European Bowling Tour now consists of 20 tour stops in 16 countries including two Platinum, six Gold, six Silver and six Satellite tournaments.

Check out here the revised EBT schedule for 2011.

In addition, two date changes were accepted for the 2012 European Bowling Tour.

The 2012 Catalonia Open - Trofeu Galasa in Barcelona, Spain, originally scheduled as the fourth stop of the 2012 EBT from March 13-18 moved eight months and will now be held from Nov. 13-18 as the 22nd and penultimate tournament of the 2012 Tour.

The Brunswick Italia Challenge in Asti, Italy moves one week from June 16-24 to June 23 - July 1, 2012.
