DRAWN GAME:

 IN THE EVENT THAT THE MATCH IS DRAWN WITHIN THE PRESCRIBED TWO-HOUR PLAYING TIME, AN ADDITIONAL END SHALL BE PLAYED.

 WHERE THE PRESCRIBED TWO-HOUR PLAYING TIME HAS ELAPSED, THE MATCH RESULT SHALL BE DETERMINED BY THE TOTAL NUMBER OF ENDS WON BY EACH TEAM. 

 IF THE TOTAL NUMBER OF ENDS WON IS EQUAL, THE TEAM THAT WON THE FIRST END OF THE MATCH SHALL BE DECLARED THE WINNER.

Please Note 1:

9.8 Matches shall be played within the boundary of the home county bowling association area. Those county bowling associations with no indoor facilities available to them or where residential proximity necessitates home matches may be played on a mutually agreed indoor green. To simplify……If you play at an indoor bowls centre that is out of the Nottinghamshire County but it is your nearest centre, this would come under the residential proximity part of the ruling, the opponent would be required to mutually agree to play outside of the Nottinghamshire County at your venue. If the opposition objects, the home player is required to offer an alternative venue within the Nottinghamshire County.

Please Note 2:

Where possible, please use the competition portal to enter results. Alternatively, you can message your result to the competition secretary within 24 hours of playing the tie.

All competitions are live & instantly updated @ Notts Federation Bowls (nottsfedbowls.co.uk)
