Conditions of Play

• Singles – four bowls each player ·
• 21 shots up, no time limit for all games (but slow play will not be tolerated). The exception is the Divisions 3 and 4 finals, which will be to 15 shots. ·
• Players will only be permitted to visit the head after their third bowl has been played.
• Rink numbers may be subject to change at any time.

Section Play

Section play will be over two days, with four sections of eight players playing seven round robin games each in total.

Final placing of section play based on:

1. Highest number of wins
2. Differential of shots
3. Result of game between players concerned
4. In the event of players still being tied after previous three points, a jack will be placed on the two-metre line, with the front of the mat on the other two-metre line and each player will play one bowl each. Order of delivery will be drawn out of a hat.

Post Section Play

Post section play will be knockout quarter final, semifinal and final.

The Divisions 3 and 4 finals will be to 15 shots.

Division 1 – 1st and 2nd in each section

(8 players)

Division 2 – 3rd and 4th in each section

(8 players)

Division 3 – 5th and 6th in each section

(8 players)

Division 4 – 7th and 8th in each section

(8 players)

Post Section Draw Format

Division 1

• The winner of Section A will play second place getter in either Section C or Section D (randomly drawn).
• The winner of Section B will play second place getter in either Section C or Section D (randomly drawn).
• The winner of Section C will play second place getter in either Section A or Section B (randomly drawn).
• The winner of Section D will play second place getter in either Section A or Section B (randomly drawn).

The same logic and process will be used to determine the post section draw for Divisions 2, 3 and 4.

Trial Ends

Trial ends will be allowed before the start time of the first game of the day and prior to a game if you are on a different green to your previous game. Trial ends before the quarterfinals will be allowed.

Lateness

If any player fails to be present at the time set down for the commencement of the game, the umpire shall allow for the current laws of the sport to prevail.

Withdrawals

Weather
