15 Marking a toucher

15.1 A toucher must be marked with chalk by a member of the team that delivered the bowl or the marker as soon as it comes to rest.

15.2 If, in the opinion of either skip or opponent or the marker, a toucher comes to rest in a position in which marking it would be likely to move the bowl or alter the head, the bowl must not be marked but nominated as a toucher instead.

15.3 If, before the next delivered bowl comes to rest or, in the case of the last bowl of an end, before a period of 30 seconds that applies under law 23.1, a bowl is neither marked nor nominated, it is no longer a toucher.

15.4 If a bowl has been nominated as either a toucher or a non-toucher, and both skips or the opponents in Singles agree that further movement of the bowl means it must no longer be nominated, the bowl must be marked or have its mark removed as appropriate.

15.5 If a player fails to remove a mark from a bowl before delivery and that bowl does not become a toucher, a member of the opposing team or the marker must remove the mark as soon as the bowl comes to rest.

15.6 If, in the opinion of either skip or opponent or the marker, a wrongly marked bowl comes to rest in such a position that removing the mark would be likely to move the bowl or alter the head, the mark must not be removed and the bowl must instead be nominated as a non-toucher

 

MEASURING promptly- rather than prolonged DISCUSSIONS prior, which adversely impacts on the finishing time.

CHOCKING a BOWL – all relevant bowls need to be chocked 30 seconds AFTER last bowl stops prior to measuring – if not and it falls while measuring bad luck unless the umpire is called – then the UMPIRE can chock a bowl prior to measuring
