What are the rules of lawn bowls play?
International events are played under the laws of the World Bowls Board. Events within bowling nations are played under the laws, if any, of the national body, otherwise under WBB laws. The laws of the national body in Australia (Bowls Australia) are available for downloading from its web site www. by navigating to Sport Development > Laws of the Game. The laws typically allow controlling bodies (e.g. bowling clubs) to set conditions of play not inconsistent with the laws. Conditions of play might include start and finish times and dates, entry fees and forms, player eligibility, wet weather procedure, etc. Controlling bodies may settle disputes relating to conditions of play. Disputes relating to laws of the game might occasionally require reference to a superior body.
