European Bowling Tour
Encyclopedia
The European Bowling Tour (EBT) is one of three tenpin bowling tours (Europe, Americas, Asia) that form part of the ranking system of the World Tenpin Bowling Association
(WTBA).
The tour is run by the European Tenpin Bowling Federation
, and in 2011 the tour consists of 22 tournaments.
In all the tournaments, men and women compete alongside each other, with women receiving a handicap per game. In these tournaments there is only one prize fund (not split for men & women), however some tournaments offer additional bonuses for the highest placed woman, which is often in addition to any of the regular prize money.

), and Nina Flack (Sweden
) were the EBT ranking champions. This was Barrett's 1st EBT Ranking title and Flack's 2nd. They will be defending their titles in 2011.
The 16 highest ranked men and the 16 highest ranked women in the EBT 2010 have qualified for the 4nd Annual EBT Masters, to be held in the Gladiator Arena Bowling Centre in Ljubljana
, Slovenia
.
The format varies from tournament to tournament, but generally most tournaments on the EBT take the form of 6 games re-entry qualification, with the top 50–60 bowlers (depending on the tournament) bowling a further set of games (most commonly 4), before a final cut to either single elimination matchplay or stepladder finals.
The total prize pool for the 22 tournaments in the EBT 2011 will be €1,139,000 with an average prize fund of approximately €52,000 per tournament.
The top 16 women and the top 16 men after the 22 stops in the EBT 2011 will qualify for the EBT Masters

History
During the 1990s, there had been several attempts to develop Ten-pin bowling tours in Europe but these were usually limited to one country (The Danish Masters Tour and the German Golden Bowling Ball Tour). It wasn’t until 2000 that the European Bowling Tour was launched initially holding 9 tournaments in 8 countries. It has since expanded over the course of 11 years and now consists of 22 events in 2011.Today
