Test Your Knowledge

The previous question was: After 2 unsuccessful deliveries of the jack it is spotted on the T - can the lead now move the mat? 18 voted yes and 2 voted no - the correct answer is 'yes'. Well done to the majority!
Refer law 10.3 stating that after spotting the jack..... "and the mat must be placed as described in law 6.1.1 (at the minimum length etc.) by the first player to play"

The next question concerns a substitute and whether they can play with another team after serving as a substitute in the same competition.
