The bowling competition was held on Sunday 28th September 2025 and unlike previous years the weather was warm and dry although the greens were damp throughout the competition. 21 participants were divided into seven groups of three for the first round which involved each bowler playing a game of seven ends against each of other two in their group. Ownership of the jack was decided by a toss of a coin for the first end of each game. Players were also instructed to decide before any play commenced which of the seven ends to assign the 'joker'. This would have the effect of doubling any points gained at that end.
Upon completion of the first round the eight bowlers obtaining the most points total went through to the quarter finals stage. This involved each bowler playing consecutively two sets of seven ends against their opponent with a 'joker' (as described above) being assigned to one of ends 1 to 7 and the other to one of ends 8 to 14. The semi finals followed the same format as the quarters.
The remaining two players going through to the final played 21 ends as three sets of seven with one joker-end apiece predetermined for each set of seven.
