XV. Following Up Played Bowls

A player, after delivering his bowl, shall not follow it
up in such a manner as to interfere with its course, nor
shall he approach within one yard of his bowl during
its course; and if after being cautioned, he persists in
so doing, the opponents shall have the option of playing
out the end or beginning the end anew.

XVI. Jack Burned

The term “burned” is applied to a jack or bowl which
has been interfered with or displaced otherwise than by
a bowl in play.

A. While in Motion on the Green. When a jack
while in motion on the green is burned by one of the
players, the opposing party shall have the option of let-
ting it lie where it stops and playing the end out, or be-
ginning the end anew. If by a neutral person, or by
a bowl belonging to a neutral person, the parties shall
come to an agreement as to its position, otherwise the
end shall be begun anew.

B. While in Motion in the Ditch. Bowls in the ditch,
which are not touchers, should be immediately removed
to the bank (see Rule XIII), but in the event of an omis-
sion to remove them, the jack or touchers coming in
contact with them shall be allowed to lie where they
rest. In such a case these bowls should then be re-
moved to the bank.

C. While at Rest on the Green. When a jack, while
at rest on the green, is burned by one of the players,
the opposite party may replace it in its original position,
or allow it to remain as moved. If by a neutral person,
or by a bowl belonging to a neutral person, the parties
shall come to an agreement as to its position, otherwise,
the end shall be begun anew.

XVII. Jack Driven Beyond Limits of Rink

Should the jack be driven beyond the limits of the
rink, that is to say, over the bank, or past the side bound-
ary of the rink by a bowl in play, it shall be counted
dead. But if moved by a bowl out of play, it shall be
restored to its place.

XVIII... Jack Driven Into Ditch

If the jack be driven into the ditch, within the limits
of the rink, its place shall be accurately marked, but it
shall not be moved from its place, except by a toucher.

XIX. Jack Out of Bounds

When a jack is driven into the ditch and comes to rest

outside the boundaries of the rink, it is a dead end.
XX. Jack Driven Over Bank

Should the jack be driven.over the bank by a bowl in
play, it shall be counted dead.

Note—Whenever the jack is dead, the end must of
necessity be played over again, and it shall in no case be
counted a played end, not even though all the bowls
have been played.

XXI. Jack Driven to Side of Rink

The jack, though driven to the side of the rink (if not
beyond its limits), may be played to on either hand, but
any bowl played to it, which when it has come to rest,
lies wholly outside the rink, shall be counted dead.

XXII. Broken Jack

In the event of the jack being broken, the end shall be
begun anew.
