Holt Challenge Incorporated, known simply as "Holt", provides Tenpin Bowlers in Australia with the opportunity to compete on a level playing field against others of similar ability. Since 2007, this organisation has conducted a highly successful event known as the Darrell Holt Tenpin Bowling Carnival, during which numerous challenges and trophy events are hotly contested.
2013 Darrell Holt Tenpin Bowling Carnival
AMF Rooty Hill, New South Wales
Sunday 11th August to Thursday 22nd August 2013
The Holt Challenge Inc executive committee is pleased to announce that the venue for the 2013 Darrell Holt Tenpin Bowling Carnival and Challenges will be AMF Rooty Hill. This centre is AMF’s showcase venue and includes 34 lanes, a massive carpark, accommodation within a short walk and the Rooty Hill RSL next door.
The Holt Challenge Inc executive committee would like to thank the Holt NSW committee for conducting a transparent tender process and negotiations with the prospective bidders.
All bowlers are welcome! Our core competition, the Darrell Holt Restricted Challenge, is designed specifically for "average" league bowlers who have an average under 185 for men (175 for women) and is conducted using a handicapping system to level the field. We also offer a "Classic" challenge for those whose average is between Restricted and the "elite" mark of 200 for men and 190 for women which is conducted on a scratch basis in a similar format.
In addition to the two Challenges, Holt Challenge Inc also offers several trophy events including Cup events to marry up with the Challenges and Open masters for the higher average bowlers.
If you're interested in participating in a fun and friendly tournament with some good prizes on offer, contact your local branch for more information!

2013 Darrell Holt Tenpin Bowling Carnival Schedule


To all holt bowlers only 2 till we go can’t wait to see you’d all there for 2 weeks of fun
Sorry, just dont like your website, too “busy” and hard to find what you want.
why are there no results for the restricted challenge as its snowing in Canberra and we need somne information to warm us up.
Restricted Challenge heats up on Monday 20th August 2012.
Thanks Peter, I think the only serious thing the Canberra crew are doing is drinking. It’s hard to get any sence out of them, probably the heat.
Where are the results from the Classic Masters?? i thought there was spose to be live rsults, but so far its been far from live, Classic Masters was Thursday night, and its now Friday 19-30 WA time
Everything is updated now. What you have to understand is we spend 15 -18 hours per day keeping the tournament moving, sometimes sleep gets higher priority than minor updates – particularly after 15 hours straight in the centre, dinner and bed was all that was going to follow. Additionally there was nothing on the computer for classic masters finals to put up anyway until it got transposed during a JDMT squad today.
Jeff, i understand its a big task, and i know that all involved are doing the best that they can, but maybe it shouldn’t be promoted as live scores.
John, It is totally my fault that we are unable to provide live scores at the 2012 Holt Challenges. Most will be aware that the tournament team is short staffed this year. I usually do the live scores but as my mother passed away very recently I have been unable to make it to Townsville. Unfortunately the entry form advertising live scores was prepared earlier in the year before we knew that I could not be at Townsville. Apologies for this inconvenience but I will try not to let it happen again!
Hi
Just wanted to know when you are posting the classic women’s results. Have they bowled yet?
Thanks
Results can be found at http://www.holtchallenge.org.au/results-and-teams/
