County League Rules
If any dates need to be changed both teams need to agree, and Matt Pownall must be informed.
2 rinks at home 2 rinks away (TRIPLES).
There will be NO trial ends, the game will consist of a 16-end game. Max 3.5-hour game.
There will be NO dead ends, RE-SPOTS are to be used.
If a team fails to field a full rink, 2 players may play but with only 6 bowls (the triple, lead plays 3 against the others teams lead, the triple team number two then plays 3 bowls one after the other as he has no opposition and then the skips bowl one after the other. If a team is 3 players short they will forfeit a rink and it’s point, plus 10 shots. This rule is only to be applied if someone doesn’t turn up, this is not to be abused because a team can not get the full required numbers in the first place.
All other rules to follow EIBA guidelines. Any queries speak to Matt Pownall.
Dress code – Club colours.
Scoring - 1 point will be awarded for each winning rink, ½ point for a tie and 1 point for an overall win.
In the event of a tied position in the final League Table, the result of the game between the two teams concerned will be the deciding factor. If no decision after this the overall shots difference will decide.
