2010 - 2011
We have 44 members who would like to play this year. This has created a number of logistical problems which this bear of small brain is trying to sort out. Delighted the Shortmat is so popular. Please watch this space for developments.
We have a very well supported Short Mat Section. Matches take place in the Pavilion throughout the 'off season' on Wednesday,Thursday and Friday mornings from 10.00am to 12.00pm. We have a break about 11.00am for coffee and biscuits. It is a social morning to look forward to. There will be some Tuesday mornings too whenever necessary to fullfill fixtures.
Playing Rota and Teams will be displayed on Pavilion Porch Noticeboard but you can also click on the links to see your team and playing schedule.
FINAL LEAGUE POSITIONS 2009-10
Everyone agrees it has been a very enjoyable and exciting season. Here are the Final League positions.
It's congratulations to The Dalmatians who have maintained their lead throughout the season after taking over from an early flourish by The Bulldogs.Well done to the Miles' and Toftes' abley assisted by their super sub Mike Roberts .
The League format has been very successful but some requests have been made to slightly amend the format and makeup of teams for next year:-:
1. we should change position after 4 ends and each match should be of 16 ends .
2. we must ensure that if a skip is playing no skip from another team can be called on to play as a substitute in that team.
Please see rules below were it is requested that you should look to obtain the services of your opposite number in the resting team if possible.
We look forward to seeing you all again next year.

RULES OF SHORT MAT
THERE ARE A
NUMBER OF DIFFERENCES compared with the longer game.
PLEASE NOTE:-
STANCE ON THE
DELIVERY MAT A player at the moment of delivering the bowl
shall have the whole of one foot entirely within the confines of the delivery
mat. The foot must be either in contact with or directly above the
delivery mat. The other foot may be placed totally on the
delivery mat or partially on the delivery mat and the delivery area or totally
within the delivery area.
The delivery
area is INSIDE THE DELIVERY LINES. The delivery lines, the
visible ditch line and the delivery mat lines do not form part of the
legitimate delivery area.
No part
of the body shall be in contact with the ditch area or any part of the rink mat
outside the legitimate delivery area. Failure to observe this Law
constitutes foot faulting.
FOOT FAULTING
Should a player in a singles game foot fault,
the marker shall stop the bowl and remove it clear of the rink mat;
In all other cases the opposing player who is
in charge of the head, shall stop and remove the offending bowl.
A
LIVE BOWL IS:
(a)
A bowl
which in its original course comes to rest wholly within the live area, even
though it overhangs the edge of the rink
mat.
(b)
A bowl which in its original course breaks
the ditch line, but does not interfere with
any toucher or the jack in the ditch,
does not touch the fender or make contact with
the floor or the centre block and comes
to rest wholly within the live area, even
though it may overhang the edge of the
rink mat.
(c)
A bowl which in its original course on the rink mat touches the jack,
either directly or
by deflection off another bowl or bowls, even though it settles in the
ditch or makes
contact with the fender after it has touched the jack, such a bowl
shall be live and be
called a toucher and its position in the ditch should be suitably marked so
that it may
be accurately replaced in the event of it being illegally disturbed
DEAD BOWLS
A bowl is dead and MUST be removed from the
rink mat if
(a)
It is delivered from a foot fault position
(b)
It contacts the centre block or passes over it
(c) It does not travel beyond the dead line
(d) It finishes in the ditch without touching the jack
(e)
It touches or rebounds from the fender or contacts a toucher or the
jack which is in
the ditch, unless the bowl in question is a toucher
FORCING SHOTS
(a)
A player who
intends to play a forcing or firing shot MUST give a VERBAL and a VISUAL
warning to the player in charge of the head end or the marker in a
singles game and must then allow time for those in the vicinity of the head
to be made aware of their intentions before delivering the wood.
(b)
Once advised that a forcing or firing shot is intended,
the player in charge of the head or the marker in a singles game must advise
all other players in the vicinity of the head end and any nearby markers,
umpires and spectators that such a shot is about to be played.
(c)
It is ultimately the responsibility of the player
delivering the wood to ensure that no other person is placed at risk of
injury.
(d)
Failure to comply with this Rule will result in the
offending player being warned at the first infringement.
Subsequent infringements will result on the player being asked to leave the
rink mat and take no further part in the competition
JACK OFF THE MAT
In a game of ten ends or
more, each team (Single, Pair, Triple or Four) will be allowed to knock the jack off the side of the mat a maximum of
3 times without penalty. For each
additional end on which they knock the jack off the mat, a 3 shot penalty will
be awarded to the other team.
No penalty ends will be
replayed from the same direction and will not count as ends played.
All ends on which shots are claimed will
count as ends played.
In games of less than 10
ends, each team may knock the jack off the mat twice only before incurring a
penalty.
In a two wood singles
game the penalty will be two shots.
In all instances the
non-offending team has the option of declining the shots awarded and playing
the end again
BOWL DRIVEN OVER THE
FENDER
If a bowl be delivered with such force as to pass or to cause another
bowl to pass over the back or sides of the fender, the opposing skip shall
have the option of
(a) Claiming three shots and
counting the end as played
(b) Counting
the end as an end played and claiming the shots lying
(c) Completing
the end
(d) Playing
the end anew as in a dead end
(e)
If a
bowl and the jack are driven over the back or sides of the fender at the same
time,
the rule concerning the jack will take precedence.
