e) two rinks will be allocated to Juniors on Thursdays between 4.30 pm and 6.00 pm, and one rink on Saturdays from 10 am to 12 noon, provided the rinks are not required for special events.
f) should allocated rinks not be required, these become available to other members.

TIES AND BOUNCE GAMES

a) Rinks will be available in 3 distinct sessions and there shall be no overlap of play between sessions.  The sessions will be from 10 am till 1.30 pm, from 1.30 pm till 5 pm and from 5 pm till dusk.
b) Ties (which include any arranged game sanctioned by the Directorate under Article 19 (b) of the Constitution) entered in the Tie Book, and league games, will have preference over other games. There will be no distinction between Ladies and Gents ties.
c) Mixed Pairs ties will have preference on Sunday afternoons.
d) One rink must be left available for a bounce game during the 10 am to 1.30 pm session.  If however that rink is not occupied for a bounce game by 10.30 am it will become available for ties.  Therefore a maximum of 5 ties can be entered in the Tie Book for that session, with additional ties to be entered as ‘Follow-On’.

All players taking part in Club or Association matches shall contribute equal shares of the expenses incurred.
c) Competition Entry Forms will be circulated prior to the start of the season. Forms must be completed and returned to the Match Convenors as per the instructions printed on them or accompanying them. The Directorate has discretion as to whether late entries are accepted.
By entering any competition, entrants are deemed to be acknowledging that they are available to play in all rounds of the competition including on both potential Finals Weekends and that they will make every effort to remain available. Any entrant who subsequently makes themself unavailable for any round of a competition will be scratched from that competition.  It will be the responsibility of all players in a pairs or triples team to ensure, prior to entering a competition, that a combination of foreseeable absences amongst the team will not render the team as a whole unable to fulfil their commitment to remain available for all rounds of a competition.
The Match Secretaries shall have the discretion, in exceptional circumstances, not to scratch an individual or team where they are satisfied that the unavailability of the individual or team is due to circumstances that were both unavoidable and unforeseen and where reasonable alternative arrangements may be made which do not unduly affect the proper running of the competition.
d) The Match Convenors or Committees will make the draw for all Singles competitions prior to the start of the season, and post these draws on notice boards. The draws for all other competitions will be made thereafter, at the discretion of the Match Convenors. Closing dates for all rounds except semi-finals and finals will be shown. Match Convenors will have the right to amend dates originally shown if they consider there is sufficient reason, e.g. the green being unplayable, or given over to Association games.
e) Both parties in any tie will be equally responsible for arranging a date and time for ties to be played. Winners are responsible for putting their names forward. If no winners name is put forward to the following round when the closing date has expired both parties will be scratched unless Bye-Law 7(f) applies.
f) If any difficulties arise whereby a tie cannot be played by the due date both parties should jointly notify the appropriate Match Convenor before the expiry of the closing date stating the reasons. Holidays will not justify an extension of time. The Match Convenor / Match Committee will decide whether an extension is appropriate and if so give two dates on which the tie may be played. If no extension is granted, or if the tie cannot be played on either of the dates given, the Match Convenor / Match Committee may either award the tie to one or other of the parties or scratch both parties unless mutual agreement is reached between the parties concerned as to who should go through to the next round. Such resolution may be by any method unanimously agreed by the parties, providing such unanimity is established to the satisfaction of the Match Convenor / Match Committee. If no such unanimity can be confirmed, the resolution shall be by the toss of a coin. Any decision of this nature by the Match Convenor / Match Committee will be recorded and reported to the first appropriate Directorate meeting.
g) In any competition where the number of entries is more than can be accommodated to ensure the smooth running of competitions, the respective Match Convenor / Match Committee will hold a ballot to reduce the entries to the required amount. Any member balloted out will however have first preference when substitutes are allowed and required. Match Convenors will ensure that no member is balloted out of more than one competition in any one season.
h) The Club Directorate may develop “Rules of Play” for the management of Gents Competitions and Mixed Competitions. The Ladies Committee may develop “Rules of Play” for management of Ladies Only Competitions.
i) All club competitions will be played in accordance with Bowls Scotland Rules except where local “Rules of Play” apply. The rules are contained within the Bowls Scotland Handbook a copy of which is displayed in the Clubhouse.
