Laws of Bowls

Laws Questions:

​​​​​​​​​​​​​​What happens when the jack is displaced by a bowl which has been played on an adjoining rink?

Answer

The jack should be put back to its former position. If the skips cannot agree on the jack’s former position the end should be declared dead. (Law 38.3.3)


​​​​​​​What action should be taken if a toucher, during its original course, hits the face of the bank rebounds onto the green and disturbs the head?

None. The head has been disturbed by a live bowl. (Law 17.2.3)
