OBJECTIVE

​

The objective of the Hall of Fame is to recognise those outstanding individuals who can be held up as role models for the sport of tenpin bowling. The primary requirement for selection is a high level of achievement from personal effort or initiative, or in a field of endeavour that contributes to the performances of athletes or to the development and status of the sport. Induction to the Hall of Fame is the highest award provided in the state of WA.

 

Membership shall be divided into two categories:

 

1. Athletes who have demonstrated sustained and outstanding performances at the highest levels.

2. Meritorious service for individuals who have made an extraordinary, inspirational and dedicated personal contribution to tenpin bowling and its development such as administration, coaching, training, sports media/history, sports medicine/sports science and technology and contributions to the sport in other areas not already listed. 

 

Nominations to the Tenpin Bowling of Western Australian Hall of Fame can only be for individuals (teams are not eligible) and can only be nominated from the Tenpin Bowling Association Board.

 

Nominees must:

​

1. be an Australian Citizen

2. be an achiever at the highest level
