Welcome to the 9th Blackthorn British Skittles Championship homepage!

The battle is on to find the Blackthorn British Skittles Champions 2012. Be part of this fantastic national event which has firmly secured its place in the skittling calendar. Entries are now being excepted so don't delay, get your team rallied and you could be enroute to the finals in September.

Winning teams will receive a share of over £6,000 prize money up for grabs plus trophies sponsored by Blackthorn.

Teams that enter will play in regional group rounds and subsequent play-offs to gain qualification to the Grand Finals. There will be three separate events: Men's, Ladies and Mixed.

The successful qualifiers, 32 Men's, 16 Ladies and 16 Mixed, will compete in the Grand Finals, which will be staged at the Riviera International Conference Centre, Torquay on Saturday 22nd September 2012.

The venue promises to provide a 'festival of skittles' as it plays host to the Grand Finals themselves as well as the Shoot Out Singles & Pairs tournament the day before, the biggest tournament of its kind and the ideal 'aperitif' to Saturday's Grand Final. A multitude of accommodation will be available for all participating players and spectators alike and, as ever, entertainment including live acts and disco to be staged until the early hours.

Accommodation Information

There will be a wide selection of nearby hotels, B&Bs and Guest Houses available to book. More information about this will be posted soon, however there will be Shoot Out affiliated accommodation available within a few metres of the RICC. This will be right on the doorstep of the venue itself and right in the thick of it all!
