Short Mat Merit Leaderboard
The winter 2024 Short Mat Order of Merit is being played over 13 weeks with the last game of the season due to take place on 27 February 2025.
After each week, players earn between one and eight points, with 8 points awarded for a first place knockout win, down to a single point for finishing in 8th place. The merit table order is based on the total points scored from a given player’s best six scores added together.
The more weeks that a player competes means more opportunity to get the best total for their top 6 scores.
When a player has more than six scores, for instance 9, then their lowest three scores do not count towards their merit total. This means that players do not need to compete each week but the more times they play will improve their chances of winning the Order of Merit.
There will be cash prizes for the top four places overall and the Merit winner will have their name engraved on the trophy to mark their achievement. The prize breakdown will be:
- First Place: £40
- Second Place: £30
- Third Place: £20
- Fourth Place: £10
The Etherow IBC Short Mat team hope that all our members enjoy the Friday night short Mat evenings.

Happy Bowling!
