considered to be one of the most popular

popular game and is played just about everywhere.
The object of the game is to roll the bowl as close to the jack or kitty as possible. The jack is rolled the length of the green to start each end. Where it stops, after being centered in the middle of the rink and then becomes the target for the balance of the end. The bowl is not completely round but in fact has a "bias", which allows it to curve inwards as it slows down. The bowl curves either way, depending on which way it is held during the delivery. A bowls green, which is 37 to 40 meters square and perfectly flat. The green is divided into rinks, which are not less than 5.5 meters or more than 5.8 meters wide, so several games can be played at the same time. |
