  • The aim of the game is to get your bowl as close to the jack as possible.
  • Bowls are weighted so that they don’t roll in a straight line, but in a curve.
  • Each bowl has a small and large icon on each side. Always keep the small icon on the inside of your   delivery.
  • You will play on a green which is divided into rinks.
  • There is a ditch on the outside of the green to catch bowls that are delivered too long.
