PLAY ARRANGEMENTS |
| |
Basic Change - If a rinks game is being played
with 'threes up' (either one or both) the leads and two now proceed to
the head end when the first three comes down to bowl. |
| |
Rule will now read:- |
| |
(a) |
A Fours game with
four players on either side who shall be called Lead, Second, Third and
Skip, according to the position and order in which they play.
Each player will play two bowls only, each singly, alternately and in
turn, the lead will play all their bowls before the seconds be allowed
to bowl theirs and all players shall remain behind the fender.
If no third is at the head end, both thirds will
then bowl their bowls singly and alternately. These players
will then change ends with the skips who will now bowl their bowls
singly, alternately and in turn; |
| |
(b) |
When one or both
thirds elect to be at the head end whilst the leads and seconds play
their bowls (see also Page 25, E 11 PLAYERS AND THEIR DUTIES - THIRD),
the leads and seconds will play their bowls as above and then proceed to
the head end, the thirds will leave the head end when it is their turn
to bowl and may not return to the head end. |

GENERAL CONDITIONS OF PLAY |

FORCING SHOT |
| |
|
Basic Change - If a player intends to play a
forcing or firing shot he must now give a VERBAL and a VISIBLE warning
and allow time for the person in charge of the head end (or marker) to
warn everyone - BEFORE the shot is played. |
| |
|
Rule will now read:- |
|
|
(a) |
A player
who intends to play a forcing or firing shot MUST give a VERBAL
and a VISUAL warning
to the player in charge of the head end or the marker in a singles game
and must then allow time for those in the vacinity of the head to be made
aware of their intentions before delivering the wood. |
| |
|
(b) |
Once advised that a
forcing or firing shot is intended, the player in charge of the head or
the marker in a singles game must advise all other players in the
vicinity of the head end and any nearby markers, umpires and spectators
that such a shot is about to be played. |
| |
|
(c) |
It is ultimately the
responsibility of the player delivering the wood to ensure that no other
person is placed at risk of injury. |
| |
|
(d) |
Failure to comply
with this Rule will result in the offending player being warned at the
first infringement. Subsequent infringements will result on
the player being asked to leave the rink mat and take no further part in
the competition. |
| |
|
|
|
| |
It was also agreed that two
items concerning the definition of a 'Live Jack' and the 'Placing of the
Jack' would be moved from the Appendix into the main body of the Laws
under Rule C1 and Rule E5 and deleted from the Appendix. |
