Duties of a Marker

Markers are only required for Singles matches.

​​​

  • Centre the jack and make sure it is at least 23 metres from the front edge of the mat and at least 2 metres from the ditch. Also check that the mat is on the centre line of the rink.

  • In trial ends, each bowl is picked up and placed at the back of the rink.  

  • Stand behind and to one side during play.  Do not cast a shadow over the head.

  • Do not move about when the player is on the mat.

  • Chalk all touchers and remove dead bowls from the rink.

  • At the completion of an end, the players declare the head.  Not the marker.

  • Measure shots when asked to do so.

  • Keep an accurate record of the game by means of a scorecard. Keep the players informed of the score and if available keep the rink scoreboard up to date.

  • Do not volunteer any information about who holds shot etc unless specifically asked. Only answer specific questions.

  • Do not applaud or comment on any shot played.
