Laws of Bowls

Laws Questions:

A jack, in its original course, is deflected by a member of the team which delivered the jack. What should happen?


Answer: The jack should be re-delivered by the opposing player, who can replace the mat, but should not play first. (Law 38.1.1.1)​​​​​​​

​​​​​​​

A player decides to play a short bowl as a 'blocker'. It finishes very short of the head but still within the boundaries of the rink. How far from the centre of the mat line to the nearest part of the bowl must it be, to ensure it is not considered a 'dead bowl'?


Answer: If it is less than 14 metres the bowl should be declared dead. (Law 17.1.3)
