It is the prevailing practice to hold premier events on Sundays only.\u00a0 One of the premier events has to be moved to mid-week evening and hence lose its premier status in order to fit the current number of national championships and competitions into a calendar year.<\/span><\/li>\n<li><span style=\"font-size: small;\">The growing number of entries for National Knock-out Singles (KOS) has reached a stage which necessitates a qualifying to be held prior to the one-day event itself. In that case, the KOS would share significant similarity with the Classic singles and its qualifying which is an event open to all bowlers. With high calibre international players in the Classic, it is considered to be a more appropriate event to be recognized for the BOTY Award.<\/span><\/li>\n<\/ol>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-size: small;\">While changing the composition of point-awarding events, the panel took the opportunity to propose re-alignment of the four premier events into two tiers in the points table. This is to better reflect the relative level of contribution of individual competitors between different formats of play. In addition, a top tier is created for the Classic singles (main draw &amp; qualifying) to reflect its higher quality.<\/span><\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-size: small;\">The revised points table and associated conditions to take effect immediately are as follows:<\/span><\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<table style=\"border: 1px solid #000000; width: 790px; height: 233px;\"
