Entries to all Short Mat Players Tour events for the 2014-15 season will open on the dates as listed below. From March until September, the 1st of each month will see the opening of entries to a different competition. This new system will ensure all bowlers have an equal opportunity to enter each of our events. In addition, this will allow those that enter multiple events to spread those costs over an extended period.
