Competition format

The lawn bowls program lasted over nine days with competition for both men and women in singles, pairs and triples. The preliminary rounds were held in a round-robin with the top eight in the competition making the quarter-finals. From the quarter-finals, the games were on a knockout format. The winners of the semi-finals played in the final to decide the gold and silver medallists.

Venue

The State Lawn Bowls Centre was developed especially for the 2006 Commonwealth Games. In June 2003, Gordon Rich-Phillips, the Victorian Opposition spokesman on the Commonwealth Games, claimed that the venue was ten months behind schedule. Justin Madden, the minister responsible for the Commonwealth Games, claimed that the delay was due to community consultation to ensure that the venue met expectations but was confident that the venue would be ready. The venue was built in time for the Games.
