The game is played up and down a rink. In
"singles", each player plays four bowls. In "pairs",
for each end, each player plays four bowls - the first player on each side bows
all four bowls and then the second player bowls four bowls. In
"triples", three players play three bowls each. And in
"fours" or "rinks", four players play just two bowls
each. A player must stand with one foot on a centrally placed small mat, 24 x 14 inches while bowling.
