It is desirable that the leads and seconds in a rink or team game stay at the
end until all playing these positions have bowled and cross to the other end
together at the same time that the third players, who have been standing with
the skips, cross in the other direction to get ready to play. This procedure
avoi ds much confusion and is an aid to the players.

Requests for intrepretation of the rules may be made to the @aretaker. Players,

_: however, are asked to familiarize themselves with the rules of the game as
