Classification Information

Queensland Bowlers with a disability are advised that as in all sports, participants who wish to enter certain competitions that cater for people with a disability, must be classified prior to the event. Once classified the participant will retain their status until there is need for a change due to differing circumstances. All Queensland Bowlers may be classified free of charge at certain times of the year by contacting the Disabilities Committee listed above.

You do not need to be classified to bowl in Disability League Competition, nor do you require classification for non TBA accredited tournaments however you will need to to produce a Centrelink Disability Support Pension Card.

Classification is however required prior to competing in National, State, Zone or any other Queensland accredited tournaments.

CLASSIFICATION OF ATHLETES WITH A DISABILITY: (AWD)

Athletes with a disability can apply for classification with their relevant State Sporting Organisation for the Disabled – at TBAQ it is the TBAQ State Disability Committee. Getting a permanent classification at any State or National event for people with a physical disability or vision impairment is dependent on the availability of classifiers within that particular sport.

The following organisations also provide classification services in Qld at no charge:

• Sporting Wheelies – Physical Disability or Vision Impairment
• Lifestream Foundation – Intellectual Impairment
• Deaf Sport and Recreation – Hearing Impairment
