Laws of the game questions …..
Q1. A bowl has been delivered on Rink 1. The skip standing behind the head on Rink 2 sees that the bowl from Rink 1 has been delivered quite widely and is about to hit a bowl on Rink 2. This skip rushes forward and stops the Rink 1 bowl. Now what happens?
Hint. It depends on which bias the bowl was delivered with.
Q2. A skip inadvertently kicks a previously delivered bowl that was in the head and moves it but manages to stop it from contacting any other bowls. What happens to the moved bowl?
Q3. In a triples game the leads and thirds from each team have delivered their bowls. The great march of the skips and leads/thirds from one end of the rink to the other is in progress. Skip A and his third, who has just delivered his last bowl, stop mid-rink to discuss what a great bowl it was and what to do next. Meanwhile the other 4 players keep walking and skip B picks up her bowl and approaches the mat, only to see that Team A’s skip and third have just completed their conference and are now walking to their respective ends of the rink. What law has possibly been broken and by which team?
