Who is eligible to play Metropolitan Pennant, and can I play for more than one club?

Eligibility.

• You need an active "Competition Bowler" membership (a "green dot") in the Bowls Link database of a club affiliated with Bowls WA.
• You play pennant for your Home Club, the primary club you are affiliated with.
• You can't play if you are suspended or have been expelled by any state or territory authority or Bowls Australia, or if you have an unresolved debt with Bowls WA.
• Only metropolitan clubs affiliated with Bowls WA can enter sides.

More than one club. A member of several clubs plays pennant for their Home Club. If your Home Club doesn't enter a side in that pennant competition on the same day, you can apply on the Multiple Club Pennant Application Form to play for another club you belong to. Multiple Club Membership Forms for Metropolitan Pennant aren't granted after 31 December unless there are extenuating circumstances. A form can be rescinded before 31 December to play Open Gender Saturday Pennant for your Home Club.

Transfers. A club that plays a player after the first pennant game who has not been transferred correctly has its side forfeited. A player who transfers Home Club after the season starts can't play, at the new club, a club championship that they contested at their previous club that season.

Interstate players. A club may use a maximum of one player with interstate Home Club status per pennant fixture, using the Interstate Pennant Declaration form, and a player can play at most three fixtures per defined pennant competition before an Interstate Clearance form is needed.

Insurance. Bowls WA's personal accident insurance covers bowlers in Bowls WA state events. Pennant bowlers represent their club and are not covered by Bowls WA insurance.
