How to PLAY & Have FUN
Duration
A ModBowls game should be no longer than 2 hours in duration.
Including all drinks breaks.
Format
We reckon a quick game is a good game!…
So we recommend ‘sets’ as seen on TV!!!
Best of 2 sets of 6 ends, with a one end shoot-out if you both win 1 set each
Either play singles e.g. 1 v 1 or Teams with up to 8 people on 1 rink
Everyone stays and plays together at the same end.
We don’t want anyone to feel left out by standing at the opposite end.
Starting Play
“Paper Scissors Rock” will determine the team who plays first.
2 Jacks will be used on each rink, one at each end, and the jack will be placed anywhere on the centre-line by the team that won the previous end.
On the first end, the mat will be placed by the team that won the “Paper, Scissors, Rock” after that it’s placed by whoever won the previous end anywhere on the centre-line.
Each player/team will bowl their bowls alternately with their opponents.
Aim of the Game
To get your bowls closer than your opponents!! The number of bowls you have closer than them, that’s how many shots you score on that end.
An end is when everyone has played their bowls-
that’s when you check-out who is closest!!
Restrictions
NO DRIVING (…that’s when you throw the bowl really fast)
If you DRIVE the other team will get 4 shots… SO don’t!!!
Don’t Drink and Drive
No drinks on the Bowling Green.
Dead Ends – not to be confused with Split Ends….
Now if someone’s bowls knocks the jack out of the boundary of the rink…
the opponent has the option to replace the jack at either end of the centre line (hopefully closer to their bowl!)
Dress Regulations
Clothing is compulsory - flat soled shoes, sandals, socks or thongs are recommended (for your safety)
We ask that you also abide by the Club Rules
