The competition was founded in 2013 as a way to popularise the sport by presenting in a modernised format, using the term "made-for-television" in its promotion. The competition features faster play, modified rules, colourful clothing and comprehensive television coverage. The BPL was founded by Bowls Australia and was initially contested by teams from the five major Australian cities plus a New Zealand side and has since expanded to eight clubs. The weekend-long event attracts a large number of Australia's best bowls players to compete, as well as several high-profile bowlers from overseas. HistoryThe first edition of the competition was held in November, 2013 under the name Australian Premier League. The inaugural clubs were Adelaide Endurance, Brisbane Gold, Melbourne Roys, New Zealand Blackjacks, Perth Suns and Sydney Lions, with Brisbane winning the first title.[1] Two further teams – the Murray Steamers and the Gold Coast Hawks – joined the competition in 2014 to expand the competition to eight. The Murray Steamers defeated Adelaide Endurance in the final of the 2014 competition to be champions for the second running of the event. In 2016, Bowls Australia announced there would be two tournaments held per year starting from 2017 with one event staged in Auckland in addition to the traditional event at Club Pine Rivers in Brisbane, Queensland.[2] The competition also underwent a name change to reflect the inclusion of the New Zealand leg, renaming to Bowls Premier League. The Australian leg of the BPL has always been held in November while the first edition of the New Zealand event was held in March. Adelaide Endurance were be replaced by Illawarra Gorillas in 2017.[3] Competition formatEach match consists of a two five-end sets, with a one-end tie-break played if required. The game format is pairs, with three bowls for each player per end. A team coach also has a substitute player at their disposal which must be used during the game, but only immediately preceding the delivery of a bowl by their team player. Every player in the team, including the sub, must bowl at least nine bowls per game. The team with that wins both sets, or one set and then the tie-break, is the winner. Instead of spending time rolling the jack, as per normal competitions, the players place the mat and advise the marker the length of the jack they would like to play to. Players have a 30-second shot clock in which they must deliver their bowl from the time the jack is placed at the start of an end or once their opposition bowl has come to a rest. Teams can nominate one Power Play end per set, enabling teams to earn double the shots scored in that end. Finals systemEach of the eight teams play each other twice during the competition. At the end of the double round-robin, the top four teams in the standings play off in the finals series. If teams on the ladder are equal on points they will be split on net total shots (shots for minus shots against). The finals series includes straight eliminations and double-chance matches. {{PagePlayoffBracket| RD1 = Semi-final / Elimination final | RD2 = Preliminary final | RD3 = Final | team-width = 175 | RD1-seed1 = 1 | RD1-team1 = First place team | RD1-seed2 = 2 | RD1-team2 = Second place team | RD1-seed3 = 3 | RD1-team3 = Third place team | RD1-seed4 = 4 | RD1-team4 = Fourth place team | RD2-seed1 = L-A | RD2-team1 = Loser of semi-final | RD2-seed2 = W-B | RD2-team2 = Winner of elimination final | RD3-seed1 = W-A | RD3-team1 = Winner of semi-final | RD3-seed2 = W-C | RD3-team2 = Winner of preliminary final }} The top two teams in the ladder play in a semi-final with the winner skipping straight ahead into the final. The loser of the semi-final will play in the preliminary final against the winner of the elimination final, a match contested between the third- and fourth-placed sides where the loser is knocked out immediately. The winner of the preliminary final goes into the final. The winning team receives $100,000 in prize money. Weekend structureBeginning on a Thursday and ending on Sunday, each BPL competition runs over the course of four days at one venue in a double round-robin and finals (playoffs) system; this makes for a total of 14 rounds consisting of four matches in each round. Four rounds are held on each of the first three days with two more on the Sunday followed by the finals in the evening. The first New Zealand edition of the competition in March, 2017 had its event held from Monday through to Thursday. Generally, all four matches in the final round of each day are televised on Fox Sports in Australia and Sky Sport in New Zealand, though recently there's been added coverage with one game per round from the afternoon sessions also televised, totalling to seven televised games per day.[4] Additional matches will also be televised in 2017 with the addition of the BPL Cup. Clubs
Former clubs
Adelaide Endurance confirmed they wouldn't compete in BPL06, the second event of 2017. They had been a relatively successful team in the early years of the competition but failed to secure major sponsorship and thus weren't able to produce the money required to fund their attendance at BPL06. They have stated intentions to return in future editions.[6] Club title sponsorship

Each of the eight Australian states and territories hold statewide competitions for all bowls clubs where an eventual state winner will progress to the national BPL Cup finals, a straight knockout competition. The national matches are staged on the main BPL weekend, normally before the final round of BPL action for the day. Quarter-finals are held on the Thursday, semi-finals on the Friday and the BPL Cup final is held on the Saturday. The semi-finals and final are televised. 2017 BPL Cup{{col-begin|width=100%}}{{col-break|width=40%}}
