RULES

Enjoy yourself & ensure all players are having fun
Players can participate in consecutive order (one bowl at a time) or they can bowl out of turn –
whichever they prefer, eg. last end winner goes first;
The jack is placed wherever the team wants to from the mat (minimum 21m).
All players remain at the mat end to ensure the social atmosphere is maintained, ie. no skips.
Closest bowl scores one point and additional closest bowls from the same team score additional
points.
Each team gets to have one power-play per set. A power-play is where the score is doubled for
that end. This is to be nominated before the first bowl for that end.
Jack in the ditch is re-spotted to the “T”
Result of each end is declared by a coordinator/facilitator.
Music will be played over the greens whilst play is taking place.
