HOUSE RULES
-
Wear proper bowling shoes - with flat and smooth soles and no separation between heel and sole.
-
Players MUST NOT wear their bowling shoes on the street.
-
Clean your street shoes at the entrance. All the dirt you bring in will eventually be transferred to the bowling surface.
-
No eating or drinking on and beyond the 'black carpet liner'.
-
All bags must be placed under the seats - fire department safety requirements.
-
Thick coats and wet clothing must be put on hangers beside Rink 6 or inside the locker room.
-
Do not leave personal belongings on the locker room floor. Items left will be removed and then disposed of after one week.
-
Any kind of wax/Grippo is not allowed as they will ruin the carpet.
-
Do not use liquid chalk on the bowls.
-
Do not put wet towels on the carpet.
-
Please don't leave empty coffee or water cups unattended as we don't have enough volunteers to clean up behind you.
-
To lower the cost of running PIBC, most of the work/chores are done by volunteers ( we only hire a janitor to do some regular cleaning several times a week). Feel free to volunteer to help out. Please contact out Board members if you feel you can spare your precious time for the club.
-
Report immediately to a league convener or Board member if present, any leaks, safety or maintenance issues.
-
Unsportsmanlike behaviour will not be tolerated and violations will be reviewed by the Club's Executive Committee and may result in the non-refundable cancellation of the violating person's Club membership.
GAME RULES
-
Practicing is not allowed during league play until all games on the same side of green (rinks 1-3 or 4-6) have concluded.
-
No running on the greens.
-
No 'burnt ends' - jack is to be repositioned on 2-metre mark.
-
During pairs and triples games, in every end each skip can visit the head only once. Leads and seconds cannot visit the head.
-
Before you take a heavy shot (a firing or running shot), give proper notice to all bowlers at the other end so nobody will be hurt.
-
Do not shout or make excessive noise that will disturb other bowlers
-
Please keep the pace of the game at a reasonable speed to ensure the game is finished on time.
-
Only members can spare. A player can spare for another player in a league for a maximum of 4 games only.
-
A spare cannot skip without the permission of the opposing skip.
-
Club officials and game conveners are NOT responsible for finding spares.
-
If a spare cannot be found, contact the opposing skip to reschedule if possible. If a spare or rescheduling cannot be arranged, that team will default for zero points and minus 10 shots.
-
If there is no agreement between opposing players on a measurement, a third party is to be requested to measure. The decision of the third party is final.
-
WHILE PLAYING AUSSIE PAIRS
-
Both players must walk to the head together.
-
During the course of every end, each team has only one chance to visit the head, no matter what position.
