Lawn bowls is a target sport played on a flat grass surface called a green, where the objective is to roll biased balls—called bowls—as close as possible to a smaller target ball known as the jack. Players take turns delivering their bowls from a mat at one end of the rink toward the jack at the other end. Because bowls are weighted on one side, they travel in a curved path rather than a straight line, requiring players to carefully judge line and speed. Points are scored at the end of each round, or end, with one point awarded for each bowl that is closer to the jack than the opponent’s nearest bowl. Games can be played in singles or teams (pairs, triples, or fours), and the match continues for a set number of ends or until a player or team reaches an agreed score. The player or team with the highest score at the end of the match wins.
