In each group the athletes bowled two games with the total pinfall to determine the positions. The three group leaders advanced to the final round. The runner-ups were ranked 4th to 6th and the second-runner-ups were ranked 7th to 9th according to their seeding after Round Three. The three remaining players bowled for the title using the same two games total pins format. 2016EBTLogo_small.jpgThe 2016 European Bowling Tour currently consists of 16 tournaments in 11 countries featuring three “Platinum” events, three “Gold”, four “Silver” and six “Satellite” events. All tournaments together offer total prize fund of roughly 850.000 Euro.
