How to play a 2-4-2 match

Normal rule of pairs that players will play their bowls alternately.

Maximum of 16 ends for a Short Mat 2-4-2. Match will end on current end if 90 minutes session has expired.

Teams will start with one player each at opposite ends of the rink

    1) First Player’s Turn:

    • Player 1 places the mat and casts the jack
    • Player 1 on each side delivers their first two bowls alternately



    2) Second Player’s Turn:

    • The players swap ends.
    • Player 2 on each side delivers all four of their bowls alternately.



    3) First Player’s Second Turn:

    • The players swap ends again.
    • Player 1 on each side delivers their remaining two bowls alternately to finish the “end”.



    4) Scoring:

    • Player 2 on each side score the end by counting the bowls closest to the jack.



    5) Next End:

    • The team who won the end will get to cast the jack for the next end.
    • the players will repeat the process above, starting with Player 2 on each side bowling 2 bowls , Player 1 with 4 bowls 4 and so on.
