Bowls Victoria has introduced the following:-

A Region or Division conducting a State event shall have power to apply a penalty, solely in the case of a dispute that involves non-appearance by a person or persons who having nominated for a State event fail to appear at the appropriate time and location without prior advice to the controlling body at least 24 hours prior with good cause.

In such circumstances the onus is on the player/s to provide satisfactory reason and evidence for non-appearance. Such penalty shall be $50 for each occasion payable within 21 days from the date of the scheduled event. Failure to make payment within the prescribed time will result in the person/s being rendered ineligible in further State events for a period of 12 months from the date of the offence.
