Lawn bowls is played on greens measuring 38.5m x 38.5m. The green is divided into sections called rinks.
Players take it in turn to bowl and when all the bowls have been played, competitors or teams get one point for each of their bowls that is lying closer to the jack than the opponent’s closest bowl.
