STARTING PLAY
- Each player will use 4 bowls
- The initial order of play is determined by the order on the card with player one being the scorer (can be delegated to another player if agreed to)
- Play is started by rolling the Jack. Where it stops is where you play to.
- If the Jack is rolled out of bounds or into the ditch on the initial roll then the roll is passed to the second bowler. If the Jack is rolled out of bound by the second bowler then the Jack is spotted at the T. The order of play remains the same.
GAME PLAY
- On the first end, each bowler bowls in turn according the order on card
- At the completion of each end points will be tallied as follows:
- Closest to the Jack = 4 points
- Second closest = 3 points
- Third closest = 2 points
- Fourth closest = 1 point
- From the second end order of play is determined by who scored the highest in that end. Highest score goes first, next highest second etc.
If two or more players don’t score in a particular end then order is determined by results of previous ends.
- No player is allowed to approach the head at any time or otherwise prior to their bowl.
- Measuring is permitted to determine the result of the end.
- If a bowl in its normal path comes into contact with a bowl from an adjoining rink then both bowls can be retrieved and replayed. However, If contact is made by a wrong bias bowl then the wrong bias bowl would be dead and the other bowl replayed.
- It is customary to place the winning bowls on the mat in winning order. This helps the scorer maintain accurate results.
THE JACK AND PENALTIES
- If the Jack is forced into the ditch by any players bowl it will remain there until the completion of that end. NO marker will be placed to indicate the position Jack.
- If during the course of play the Jack is forced Out of Bounds, the player that caused this will be penalised 4 POINTS which will be deducted from their score at the completion of the end. The Jack will then be placed at the T for the resumption of play.
This does not apply to the initial roll of the Jack.
- Any bowl that is out of bounds is considered dead and should be removed from the rink immediately.
THE GAME
- First round is 11 ends. Highest score moves through.
- Second round is 3 ends and should be played on a rink not previously bowled on by the players. 4s winners will verse 4s winners, 3s winners will verse 3s winner as a first priority when possible.
Highest score moves though.
- Final round is 3 ends. This will be played on a rink that has been reserved for the final to make sure no one has bowled on that rink previously (should be an end rink such as 8). Highest score is winner and second highest runner up. Prize money will be distributed accordingly.
- Any drawn game at any stage is determined by a ONE bowl play off.
Closest to the Jack wins.
- At no time can you offer information about the state of the head to any player on any rink.
