Ból-Chumann na hÉireann delegates voted overwhelmingly to leave the national SDSI (Sports Disputes Solutions Ireland) process at its recent annual convention. It will be replaced by a new internal structure with appeals going to an external body with a specific remit for bowling.

The association also launched a new strategic plan, changed its financial year and moved the date for convention. It rejected a proposal to change the rule governing the breaking of tips. The convention endorsed a new underage All-Ireland format and additional competitions for girls and novice men.
