How Competitions unfold
All the action takes place on a standard bowling green, which is a flat square. This is divided into playing areas called RINKS.
Then Bowlers take it in turns until all bowls have been played.
Bowls can be played in Singles, Pairs, Triples and Fours.
In Singles, each player has 4 bowls, 3 bowls in pairs, two or three bowls in Triples and 2 bowls in Fours competitions.
The Team Captain (Skip) always plays last and assist the teams shots and tactics.
