Bomber points which count towards the overall King & Queen trophies will be issued on the higher category (cat. 2/3) championship nights only. Your BEST 5 results will count towards your final score. If points tie then the most wins during the season takes the trophy then counting back to 2nd places, 3rd places etc.

Bomber points will mirror BC points ie. 10, 8, 7, 6, 5, 4, 3, 2, 1, 1
