Can the person who amended Wales to South West Scotland please advise the source of the information as it differs from information dating back over 15 years that I have. --Njtruscott 19:42, 31 December 2005 (UTC)
carpet bowls edit
how is this different to carpet bowls? (as in the game plaed in many places on carpet using either full-size or small bowls, having been played -ceratinly in Australia - as a casual and as an informal competition sport for 50-odd years)
Short Mat Bowls uses a 40-45ft x 6 mat and regular size woods
Carpet Bowls uses a 30ft mat and much smaller woods.
Two totally different versions of the game of bowls. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 86.160.171.132 (talk) 20:57, 6 November 2007 (UTC)
Personal opinions edit
It says that 'Short mat bowls is great fun.' That's hardly objective, is it? Peti me (talk) 22:53, 27 November 2007 (UTC)
Updating membership for ESMBA members to reflect trend in game edit
"The latest figures from the ESMBA puts membership at 25,211 bowlers in 928 clubs.[citation needed]"
The latest figures is ambiguous, and having looked up the figures from the official website membership has actually decreased drematically. The latest figures was actually from 2005; and is now 18,337 for the 2016/17 season. [1]
I will edit the information to be more up-to-date. Lee Vilenski (talk) 13:33, 10 October 2017 (UTC)
British Isles Championships edit
I have added a British Isles Championships section, due to the notoriety of the tournament (Being the second largest in the world); notwithstanding Short Mat Players Tour events. Would love some more information from older events, and also the world championship 2014 event winners (And reference) — Preceding unsigned comment added by Lee Vilenski (talk • contribs) 15:56, 10 October 2017 (UTC)
