Important Notice – Arrangement for National Triples and National Fours (Issued on 8/2/21)

Please note that all public greens will adhere to the social distancing rules so will only allow a maximum of four players on each rink. In such situation, the following arrangement will be imposed for Triples and Fours:

 

1. Only two players are allowed on each end of the rink. The other two/four players should stay on the bank in group(s) of two people.

 

2. For Triples: The Lead should leave the rink after delivered their bowls to allow the Second to bowl. After completion of each end the Second should leave the rink to allow the Lead to start a new end.

For Fours: The Lead should leave the rink after delivered their bowls to allow the Second to bowl. The Second should leave the rink after delivered their bowls to allow the Third to bowl. After completion of each end the Third should leave the rink to allow the Lead to start a new end.

 

3. For Tseung Kwan O greens, as there is not enough space at the far end of the greens, all players not on their turn to deliver the bowls or are directing play should stay at the spectator stand.

 

The usual practice of wearing a mask during games remains. Players may refuse to play and claim a walkover should an opponent refuses to wear a mask during the game.
