Swedish Bowling Federation to boycott this year's World Cup in Kuwait in October. The decision was made because players wanted to know if they were going to postpone their holidays or not.

The IBF is perceived as messy with unconstitutional presidential elections and economic uncertainties. A World Cup participation would cost the small Swedish federation one million kronor compared to 600,000kronor in Dubai two years ago. The Swedish national team player Jenny Wegner believes that the boycott can produce results because Sweden is a top nation.
