In answer to Roy above, Association Rules allow the front of the mat to be placed anywhere between the ‘T’ (2m from the rear ditch) and 25m from the front ditch at the start of the match. Federation rules require the mat to be placed with the front of the mat exactly on the ‘T’ for the first end only. Thereafter it may be placed anywhere between 2m and 4m from the rear ditch.

If I am part of a winning Open Club 4s Team, and have not won any “Open” , “A” or “B” Singles event, can I still play in any of the “B” grade competitions?

I have just started playing bowls and am having difficulty deciding how to face my ball depending on the direction. Which side depicts the bias one way or another

Hi,
Just for an experiment I am interested in instrumenting a lawn balling bowl with a 9 DOF IMU package. This would allow me to track and display the trajectory, speed, direction, ‘wobble’ and path of a ball in real time on a computer screen. The IMU has three 3 axis sensors, an accelerometer, a gyro, and a magnetometer. The gyro maybe limited to 2000 degrees per second , which tranlates into about 5.5 revolutions per second. Can anyone tell me the range of ball release velocities when balling. (I may be limited to about 9.8 mph using a 5″ diameter ball?)

One could also use it to measure the ’speed’ of the green, the profile of the green observe the affect of bias etc.

regards

Most Indoor Clubs have a 2 metre “T” stuck to the carpet. Should the jack be placed in front or behind the “T” ? I know the rule is different for Association and Federation codes.
