Let’s talk bowls with Suzy

Tuesdays on my mind.. another beautiful day for bowls..πŸ€—

Let's talk Bowling.
Bowls terminology..

1..Neutral Objects...C23...
.A neutral object is a Jack, Bowl or any other object NOT belonging to any player on the rink of play....
...OR...a line jack or a line bowl( on boundary line) belonging to a player on the neighbouring rink..
...OR...a dead bowl that  is at rest and has not been removed from the rink of play...

LETS LEARN LAWS...38.1.3..displacement of a Jack at rest.

A final bowl was delivered in a match,moving the jack near the boundary line..The Third in team A, without checking with her opposing third  or skips picked up the jack thinking it was out of bounds..the opposing third objected...

WHAT should happen ?? ...The jack would be deemed to have been displaced by a player and Law...38.1.3 would apply...The opposing third would put the jack back to its former position and a decision would be made to as whether the jack is still alive.....

Note...never pick up a line Jack without conversing first with the  opposition as to whether the jack is alive or dead...

Till next Tuesday....keep active...😊
