PIBC Game Rules
-
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.
-

Both players must walk to the head together.
