Amendment
HKLBA has issued a memo on restricting movement of players during play, with immediate effect.
In order to avoid unnecessary delay during a game, Bowls Australia has recently issued some rules, accompanied with penalties, for use in their National and International competitions.
HKLBA had modified these rules to meet our requirements and after discussions in our Council meeting, we decided to make this a rule rather than a law applicable to all competitions (i.e. national & league competitions) organized by HKLBA hoping that all our future games can be completed within an acceptable time. We do not want to include this in our bye-laws but when situation deemed necessary we will.
The rules on restricting movement of players during play are as follows : -
(These rules should be read in conjunction with our previous instruction issued on 9 February and 23 September, 2009).
Players will only be allowed to walk up to the other end under the following circumstances : -
1. Singles game
After delivery of his/her third bowl.
2. Pairs game (each player playing four bowls)
The leads: after both players delivered their fourth bowl; and
The skips: after delivery of his/her second bowl.
3. Triples game (each player playing three bowls)
The leads: after both second players have delivered their third bowl;
The seconds: after both players delivered their third bowl; and
The skips: after delivery of his/her first bowl.
4. Fours game (each player playing two bowls)
The leads : after both third players have delivered their second bowl;
The seconds : after both third players have delivered their second bowl;
The thirds : after both players delivered their second bowls; and
The skips : after delivery of his/her first bowl.
No double skipping is allowed.
Players should be readied to play when it is on their turn.
All Club Convenors please inform your players about this and hopefully, when this is being followed, we can see some improvements in our games
