Lawn Bowls is one of the oldest sports in the commonwealth games and has featured in every edition since 1930. To play the game, a ball (known as a bowl) is rolled toward a smaller stationary ball, called a jack. The aim is to roll one’s bowls so that they come to rest nearer to the jack than those of an opponent, this is sometimes achieved by knocking aside an opponent’s bowl or the jack. This Lawn bowl is played in four formats--singles, pairs, triples, and fours. Only two teams can compete in a Lawn Bowls game at a time. A game starts with one team rolling the jack from one end to the other and it must travel at least 23 mt. The point where the jack stops is the target for the players for that end.
The bowls are also called woods even though they may be made of rubber, wood, or some other material. They are also flattened on one side, so that they follow a curved course when rolled.
