The Jacks in Danger

Playing Lead - Etiquette

1. If your opponent miraculously wins the toss / the end - it is customary to place their bowl for an easy pick up on the left of the mat.
    
2. After your above generosity of giving your opponent a chance with the jack - in a team game - wait on the 2m mark to hear from your skip about where to place the mat and roll the jack.
    
3. If you accidentally lose the jack short or roll it into the ditch - make sure you wait for the marker / skip to roll it back to you - then pick up both the jack and mat and hand them over to your opponent. Please don't walk away and let your opponent do either one of those things. You're the chop who lost the jack, not them!
    
4. Leads and seconds should only offer advice through the player calling the head. There is nothing more confusing for a third or skip than receiving more than one instruction from more than one person. Being in a team means that everyone is included in the ultimate goal - which is winning of course - but let your third or skip mentally process the shot they see for that best result.
    
5. After your two brilliant bowls which are in the head - watch every bowl played by your team mates - be involved - this will help to keep your concentration in the game until you roll again. Applaud results and applaud close shots - everyone is trying their best.
    
6. Show interest in measures and results of each end - thirds / skips can definitely have senior moments and miss things - so should you see something quietly mention it to your third / skip. At no time remove any bowls from the head before the final score has been determined and finalized between both teams. Bowls far from the head are a different story as you know - but let the opposition get their own bowls!
    
7. As a lead if your team wins the end you can go ahead and place the mat while all the other players move the bowls - this helps with the momentum of the game. If you see they struggling then please help.
    
8. Most important - is good body language at all times! No turning your back, no crossing your arms and certainly no comments about your team mates ever. This is not only a lead thing of course - but positive energy after a bad end is key to get the game back under control again.
