‘Friendship is the name of the Game’

🟢 It is customary to introduce each other before the start of the game.

🟢 Clap  a ‘good shot’ whether for or against, but not a lucky shot for your side.

🟢 It is impolite to clap a bowl that has gone wrong for your opponent to your advantage.

🟢 Keep within your rink and walk up the middle as you approach the head.

🟢 Stand well behind the head at least two metres from the jack.

🟢 After the final bowl of each end stand clear of the head while the Three’s decide on shots. 

🟢 Bowls can be passed to the Two’s to keep count of shots taken out.

🟢 If an umpire is called, all players should leave the green until the umpire’s decision is made.

🟢 Do not walk up the rink in front of the player who has just bowled. They have possession until their bowl comes to rest.

🟢 Do not turn your back on a bowl, stay on the mat until your bowl comes to rest.

🟢 Do not walk past the end of the rink if a player is on the mat and about to bowl. Wait until the bowl has left their hand.

Most importantly, enjoy your game.
