In a league game, a team is short of one player when start time arrives. According to Law of Sport of Bowls, they can start the game with first two players playing three woods each and the skip play two woods, The winning score is deducted by 25%.(Law of Sport of Bowls 39.2.2.)<\/span><\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

The defaulting team challenged and refused first two players playing three woods. They queried if the first two players played two woods and the score would not be deducted.<\/span><\/p>\n

Clarification from VP Technical<\/span><\/span><\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

It is a real surprise to hear about such challenge as the rule governing \u201cAbsentee players in a team or side\u201d has been in-placed for many years.\u00a0 In fact the rule has been there for such a long time that it has become a common knowledge for all bowlers.<\/span><\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

To recap, the arrangement for a side game when one of the players absented was clearly list in law 39.2.2:<\/span><\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

39.2.2\u00a0 If, 30 minutes after the scheduled start time for a game, or sooner if the Controlling Body decides, one player is absent from one or more teams in a side, the game must continue but:<\/span><\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

39.2.2.1\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0 the number of bowls played by each defaulting team must be made up by the lead and second, both playing three bowls singly and in turn; and<\/span><\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

39.2.2.2\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0 one fourth of the total shots scored (including decimal places) by each defaulting team must be deducted from their score after the game has finished.<\/span><\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

This is a law that must be followed when a player is absent from a side game so is not negotiable or arguable.<\/span><\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

Supplement from VP League<\/span><\/span><\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

If the defaulting team refuses to play, it will be treated as “Fail to arrive”.<\/span><\/p>\n
