It’s a Fact
After the start
of play in any end, the mat should not be moved from its original position
EXCEPT in the following circumstances:-
ñ If the mat is displaced, it should be
replaced to its original position.
ñ If the mat is out of line with the centre
line, it should be straightened on that line.
ñ If the mat is off the centre line, it should
be moved to the centre line.
ñ If a player picks up the mat before the end
has been completed, AN OPPOSING PLAYER should replace the mat to its original
position.
ñ If a bowl from a neighbouring rink, moving in
its original course and on a bias which will take it back into its own rink, is
travelling on a path which will bring it into contact with the mat, ANY PLAYER
on the rink on which the mat is being used can lift it so that the bowl can
pass and then replace the mat to its original position.
ñ After the last bowl required to be played in
each end has been delivered, a player or the marker should lift the mat and
place it completely beyond the face of the rear bank. Opponents in Singles can, however, agree to
carry the mat up the rink so that they can use it at the next end. (My personal
thought – carrying the mat does save time & effort).
The above is
covered by Law 19.2 i.e. Placing the Mat – During each end.
Anyone
wishing to cancel out or enter their name for Social Days please contact the
Club between 7.30 am and 8.00 am on the day. Phone 6583 1153. This would make the Selector’s job much
easier..
