Rules of play

 

1. The competition will take the form of a knockout.

 

2. Each game shall be played on the days and times scheduled; otherwise defaulting players will forfeit the game.

 

3. Two trial ends are allowed and each player can decide for themselves how many bowls they would like (max 4 each end).

 

4. The winner of each game will be the first to 21 shots. If there is a handicap difference between the 2 players this will be put on the scoreboard at the start of play. I.e. player 1 has a handicap of 8 and player 2 a handicap of 5 then 8-5=3 so player one gains a 3 points advantage which is added to their score at the conclusion of end 1 together with the score from that end.

 

5. You may visit the head after your third bowl.

 

6. You may ask the marker a specific question regarding the head but you cannot ask them for advice.

 

7. Dead ends to be re-played

 

8. Late arrival, if a player is more than 15 minutes late or advises they cannot play the game will be awarded to their opponent. Rule 2 will apply.

 

9. Score cards are to be signed and timed by both players and handed back to the marker/competition secretary for verification

 

10. Postponement due to weather conditions and any subsequent changes to playing times will be the decision of the Competition Secretary or the Captain
