DIRECTION OF PLAY ON THE GREEN
The Green Warden will determine the direction of play and the order which rinks are to be played.
Bounce games - Players must turn the next wall disc round, to determine the rink to be played on.
Club competitions - Players select the rink by using the small white discs on the desk and whichever disc is turned over, this is the rink that should be played on.
