Crown Green Bowls (or crown green) is a code of Bowls played outdoors on a grass or artificial turf surface known as a bowling green. The sport's name is derived from the intentionally convex or uneven nature of the bowling green which is traditionally formed with a raised centre known as the crown. Crown Green Bowls is played in the Midlands and Northern half of England, and North Wales. == Game == The aim of crown green bowls is to roll a set of 2 bowls from the hand towards a smaller target bowl known as the jack. Rolling the bowl or jack is known as the delivery. When delivering a bowl or jack, the player must place one foot on a mat to ensure that all bowls and jack are sent from the same spot. A full game comprises a number of ends. An end is where the jack is rolled first. The player sending the jack can choose to deliver it wherever they like on the bowling green. This ability to bowl an end in any direction is a unique feature of crown green bowls. Players then take it in turns to roll each of their bowls towards the jack. An end finishes when all Bowls have been delivered. The aim of an end is for a player to finish with their own bowls closer to the jack than those of the opponent. For each bowl that is closer than those of the opponent, a player scores 1 point. Each player usually has 2 bowls allowing a maximum of 2 points on each end. The winner of the end delivers the Jack in the next end. Competitive games are usually held between 2 people with the winner being the first person to accumulate 21 points. An unlimited number of ends are played until someone wins. Variations exist where players can have more than 2 bowls, games are played to 31 points or more, or players form teams of 2 or more players. 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「Crown green bowls」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
