Ask an Umpire
Do you have a bowls situation which you would like clarified? Please contact our Umpire Co-ordinator, John Hulme or Don Lyne with your request and we will publish it in Hawk Talk.
Last week's scenario:
The opposition has put the jack down and several bowls have been delivered. Your skip suddenly realises that the mat is on the wrong line. What happens next?
Answer :- The Mat must be moved to its correct line as soon as it is discovered to be wrong. The Jack however must stay where it is even if it has been spotted on the wrong line.
This week's scenario is as follows. One of your team's bowls has picked up the Jack and followed it into the ditch as a toucher. After all bowls have been delivered the Thirds have to measure for shot which involves your toucher in the ditch. What is the correct way to do this measure?
See next week's Hawk Talk for the explanation.
