Quizzes
The sport demands excellence from its officials and we're always on the lookout for people keen to learn the Laws. We have developed a few general knowledge quizzes to help you on your journey of learning the Laws and being able to respond to different situations that arise in a game. These quizzes are self-marking, have no time constraints and can be taken over and over again to help you gain the knowledge required to talk about the Laws with confidence.
BECOME AN UMPIRE
Being an Umpire is highly rewarding and challenging at the same time. We offer courses which will get you started on your umpiring journey through to supporting you to become an umpire on the international stage. Feel free to contact us with any questions you may have.
Resources for umpires and bowlers
The resources in this section will help umpires and players alike to have access to the Laws of the Sport, Domestic Regulations, Officiating Manual and other information to help build their awareness and knowledge.
How well do you know the laws of Bowls?
We've put together some key facts to help you with some basics - they are not too difficult and should be fairly easy to remember for when you are next playing.
Scroll your way through these easy to read facts about our sport at your own time and pace and see how many you can remember when you are out on the green.
