EBT Rule Changes for 2025: Purple Days Are Over?

Karolis Murauskas, Mindaugas Matutis, and Erikas Jansonas from BowlingLife dive into the latest changes to the European Bowling Tour (EBT) rules, including the new 78D ball hardness rule and the updated handicap system for women, set to take effect in 2025.

In this episode, they discuss why the 78D rule was originally implemented by the PBA and how it will impact European bowling tournaments. The team also breaks down the new handicap system, aimed at encouraging more women to participate in EBT events after years of declining numbers.

Plus, they recap the recent International Hammer Challenge, where Finland’s Rami Mukkula claimed his first EBT title. Be sure to tune in!
