Bowls is currently played in nearly 60 countries worldwide and there is significant growth potential over the next ten years, particularly in Asia and the Americas.

WBS will be the official year-long calendar of sanctioned events connecting to the official World Rankings. It is a joint venture between World Bowls and Tier 5 Ventures. The sanctioned events occur across the globe and will feature a mixture of current and new events.

WBS commences in 2024 with twenty-nine (29) sanctioned events. Each WBS event will belong to a different tier based on the size, location, and stature it presents for the game of Bowls.

The purpose of WBS is to build the profile and brand of bowls, showcase the best players in the game, accelerate the legitimacy of the sport on the global stage and launch World Rankings that will create clarity, and interest in the sport of Bowls.

The list of the top 50 players from the Official World Rankings will be released at the launch, and we will also be awarding the number 1 World ranking to the Female and Male bowlers as part of the launch.
