At my club we have several visual impaired bowlers and we have thought about getting a line from T to T, so the V.I. bowlers wouldn't need to put a string every time they play. Unfortunately this was not put in place. At the moment when have an internal tournament, they stay on the same rink, so they don't need to put the string down every time they move rink. If there was a line on every rink, they would be able to change rinks, like everyone else. I wish my county would bring respotting the jack in county league games, as they are 23 ends including the 2 roll up ends, without the any dead ends. I have played in a game when we had 3 dead ends and that must added at lest 30 minutes to the match. I have played in a tournament at club without the respots, so the jack was placed on T when an end was killed. Which was good for me, once we were 4 or 5 shots down, but had a bowl on the T. It took me 2 attempts to kill the end, which resulted in us winning the end and I think we went on and won that game. I must add this tournament was for people with disabilities, I play from a wheelchair and my 2 team mates were V.I. bowlers
Another good video, thanks. One thing confuses me are the spots going up the centre, the last one is a different “length” to the rest why is that and also can you work the minimum legal length of the jack using the centre spots (again the spot furthest from the T is not an equal spacing. May be this could be the subject of one of your videos. Again thanks for your channel.
One extra thing I should have mentioned is that if the jack is delivered but goes into the ditch, the other team get to place the jack, and mat, wherever they want it. Not send it back to be delivered again by the opposing team. Again, the is simply to save time. Sorry I missed that. ☺
At our club if the jack is delivered into the ditch it is sent back for the other team to move the mat and resend the jack (but you still bowl first). If the jack is thrown (is that the right term?) by the team again into the ditch then it is placed on the T. I believe there are two associations with different rules, is that right? (a video explaining how there are different rules would be great). Thanks for the video.
It is very clear now. Thank you
Thanks very informative
