1. What does Jack High mean?

2. You have just won the first end and you ask your opponent to deliver the jack for the next end. Is this allowed?

3. How many trial ends can be bowled?

4. What is the minimum length of a legally delivered bowl?

5. A player carries their bowl up to the head to "have a look". Is this permissible?

6. A dog runs onto the rink and moves the jack. Describe what action you would take? (Do not say kick the dog ;-))

7. You deliver the jack while the Marker is still walking up the green and it hits his foot. What happens next?

8. A Skip directs her team by placing her foot on the rink on the line she wants them to take but her foot is always about 30 cm behind the line of the jack. She leaves her foot in the position until each bowl comes to rest. The opposing Skip objects. Does he have a case?

9. A Lead is about to deliver his second bowl and realises the other team should have delivered the Jack. What happens next?

10. Player A casts the Jack and it is measured short (less than 23m). The Jack is returned for Player B to deliver who repositions the mat and casts the Jack. Player A challenges the mat position, which turns out to be less than two metres from the back ditch. What happens next?

Jamie will provide the answers and all the relevant Laws in due course
