Laws of Bowls

Laws Questions:

​​​​​​​​​​​​​​What should happen if a bowl on its original course strikes an opponent’s foot and then goes on to disturb the head?


Answer

The skip of the team that played the bowl should choose whether to:-

  • Replace the head and have the bowl replayed,
  • Replace the head and place the bowl where the skip believes it would have come to rest, or
  • Declare the end dead.

(Law 37.1.1.4)
