About Us
History
The Singapore Tenpin Bowling Congress (STBC) was constituted in 1963 at a time when the sport of Tenpin Bowling was strictly for the recreational past-time of a privileged few.
In 2005, the Singapore Tenpin Bowling Congress formerly changed its name to the Singapore Bowling Federation (SingaporeBowling) (SBF), the Constitution was amended and a new logo formed.
Singapore Bowling Federation (SBF) or informally known as SingaporeBowling is the National Sports Association for the Sport of Tenpin Bowling. The Federation is affiliated to International Bowling Federation (IBF) and Asian Bowling Federation (ABF). SBF is also affiliated to Singapore National Olympic Council (SNOC) and supported by Sport Singapore (SportSG).
Singapore Bowling Federation is a Registered Society with the Registry of Societies (ROS) since 10th February 1966 (ROS 50/63 SPO), registered Charity since 1st February 2011 and Institution of a Public Character (IPC) since 2007. All registered charities enjoy automatic income tax exemption.
SBF Logo
On 22 Jan 2024, our new logo was approved by the Registry of Societies. On 8 April 2024, Singapore Bowling Federation (SBF) launched its new branding and logo at the SBF Awards Night with Minister Edwin Tong as Guest of Honour.
A bowling pin and ball are the main elements in the logomark, symbolising how the sport is at the heart of all we do.
The tail of the ‘S’ is stylised with three trails that represent our three main stakeholder groups: athletes and parents; academies and coaches; as well as clubs and social bowlers. Together, we grow the sport to create a bigger impact competitively and in our community.
Red symbolises our passion for bowling, as well as our national pride and role in bringing Singaporeans together. The logo is inclined to the right to signify progress and professionalism.
