MEDICAL EMERGENCY FORM

 

This form is for bowlers to fill in, place in an envelope (sealed if you wish) and keep in your bowls bag at all times. If you suffer a medical emergency whilst at a match, the form can be handed to a first responder/para-medic at the scene and could save your life.

 

  

It is up to you whether you fill in the form or not. If you do, it is recommended that you inform your team captain, vice-captain and fellow team members so others are aware that you have this form in your bowls bag. The form is available for downloading and printing off from the green area on the left hand side of the screen by clicking on “MEDICAL EMERGENCY FORM”

  Re-arranging a Match - Rule 10(g)

 
This is a reminder to all team captains that if you decide to re-arrange a match (especially if it's due to a shortage of players), there will be a 3 point penalty deduction made by the Fixtures/Results Secretary from your accumulated points scored to date once the match has been played. However, there will be no points deducted if a re-arrangement is due to 1) weather/ground conditions, 2) a death or funeral affecting the entire team or 3) one or more players from a team selected to play for a County competition or 4) for health and safety reasons or any similar circumstances approved by the Results Secretary.
 
If a match is re-arranged please inform the Fixtures/Results Secretary ASAP so that the match can be set to a postpone and also confirm the new date of the match, once agreed, so that the online system can be updated
 
 

 
 
Suitable Footwear at League Matches 
 

 

This is a reminder regarding the BCGBA rule on open toed footwear which states:  

 

  
Law 10.3: Suitable footwear must be worn. Hard or block-heeled footwear, or open-toed footwear must not be worn whilst on the green in any match played under the Association’s jurisdiction. The offending player(s) shall receive no further score and the opponent(s) shall receive the maximum score.      

No interpretation of this Law allows a player to play in only socks/stockings or in bare feet.

 

  
As all our matches are played under the BCGBA's jurisdiction this means that any player not conforming to the above cannot play in a League match unless they are wearing approved footwear
