JACK ATTACK EXPLAINED

Jack Attack emulates the style of play of the Bowls Premier League, which is broadcast live on Fox Sports and Sky Sport NZ each February and November.

Jack Attack allows for the BPL format to be played directly at clubs across the nation, capitalising on its social, fast-paced format to help encourage participation with non-bowls audiences, by appealing to people opposed to playing in longer formats like pennant, and providing a more structured competition than barefoot bowls.

Jack Attack is super easy to play. It’s three players per team (known as triples), each with two bowls, who play two sets of five ends, and if the sets are split then a one-end tie-breaker is played to determine a winner – and it’s all over in less than 90 minutes!

The basics:

· Three players per team

· Team order can be interchangeable

· Each player plays two bowls per end

· Five ends completes a set

· Two sets completes a match

· A sudden-death tie-break will determine a winner, should sets be evenly split

· Players aim to deliver their bowl as close to the jack as possible

· The number of your team’s bowls closer to the jack than the nearest opposition bowl is the number of points you score

· The jack is placed wherever the winning team wants at the opposite end of the green

· Players to wait until all bowls are delivered before changing ends

· Each team gets to have one power-play end per set. A power-play is where points are worth double.

· Should the jack be knocked out of play, it will be re-placed back in a central position known as the ‘T’

· MINIMUM OF ONE PLAYER IS A NON BOWLER

· All players may be non bowlers.

· Bowls supplied.
