Questions I have been asked this month A player in a singles game goes to the head after their second bowl.  Is this allowed?
YES - there are no restrictions on visiting the head before the National Finals. In a knockout competition is there a minimum number of ends that must be played before the match can be conceeded?
NO - If you wish to conceed you can do so at any point.  Don’t forget to sign the card! In a singles game does the marker have to do all the measuring?
NO - either of the players or the marker can do the measuring.
