All 2009 Holt team trials have now been completed and our congrats to all that made the teams.

Today we have been informed that Northern Territory has had sufficient nominations to fill their 2009 Holt teams without the need for a draft selection.

On this basis the 2009 drafts will be selected in the following order:

Restricted Ladies
Western Australia, Tasmania, Western Australia & Western Australia

Restricted Men
Western Australia & Western Australia

Classic Ladies
Western Australia

In accordance with the draft policy, the draft nominations will close at midnight on the 1st May 2009. On the 2nd May 2009 the lists will be distributed to the zone requiring bowlers in the above order. We have been inundated with applications and currently, there are 14 ladies and 42 men on the draft list. Any bowlers who have not already submitted their nomination form should do so by the above deadline.

We would ask that the zones requiring bowlers make their selection(s) quickly. The Holt ExCo will be forming the Fusion Restricted Men, Restricted Ladies and Classic teams via random draw on the 9th May 2009 at the mid-year ExCo meeting.

The Holt National Committee would also like to welcome all bowlers to compete in the 2009 Darrell Holt Tenpin Bowling Carnival, even if you are not successful in the draft or making the Fusion teams. Due to popular demand the Welcome Tournament has been expanded this year into two squads and if this event is filled then a $15,000 prize is possible for this 3 game 5-person teams based tournament.
 
We note the entry form will be out in June however would like to know the date the Welcome Tournament is scheduled for and if possible the dates of other (non challenge) events ie Masters etc. Do you have any dates yet.
 
As previously advised draft nominations are now closed.

The draft picks for Western Australia and Tasmania are now underway. Bowlers selected for these teams will be contacted by the state committee and the names added to the Holt Challenge website.

The Fusion teams will selected on the 9th May 2009 and successful condidates notified that same day.

The Holt national committee wish to thank all those that nominated with the final numbers of 16 ladies and 45 men and invite those unsuccessful to join us in Canberra later this year for the 3rd Darrell Holt Tenpin Bowling Carnival. If we get sufficient interest we may consider a "draft list challenge" or something similar - we are open to suggestions.
