Laws of the sport – Crystal Mark – Fourth Edition
56.5 Re-spotting the jack
56.5.1 If a jack in motion passes completely outside the boundaries of the rink of play, comes to rest in any hollow in the face of the bank, or rebounds to a distance of less than 20 metres from the mat line, the end must not be declared dead. Instead, the jack must be placed with the nearest point of the jack to the mat line at the appropriate spot described in either law 56.5.2 or 56.5.3, and play must continue.
56.5.3 One re-spot position A single re-spot position which is 2 metres from the front ditch and on the centerline can be used as an alternative to the three re-spot positions described in law 56.5.2. 56.5.4
If any of the spots mentioned in laws 56.5.2 and 56.5.3 are partly or completely covered by a bowl, the jack must be placed as close as possible to the covered spot, between and in line with that spot and the corresponding spot at the opposite end of the rink, without touching a bowl.
56.5.5 The spots mentioned in laws 56.5.2 and 56.5.3 must be marked using chalk or some other suitable method (see diagrams B.2.3.1 and B.2.3.2 in appendix B.2)
10 Improper delivery of the jack
10.1 The jack has been improperly delivered if it comes to rest:
10.1.1 in the ditch.
10.1.2 completely outside the boundaries of the rink.
10.1.3 at a distance of less than 21 metres from the mat line, as measured in a straight line from the centre of the mat line to the nearest point of the jack, after the jack has been centered.
10.1.4 on the rink after contact with the face of the bank; or
10.1.5 on the rink after contact with any object or person completely outside the boundaries of the rink.
10.2 If a player improperly delivers the jack, the opposing player must place the mat as described in law 6.1.1 and re-deliver the jack, making sure that it is centred, but the opposing player must not play first.
10.3 If the jack is improperly delivered once by each player in any end, it must not be delivered again in that end. Instead, it must be centred with the nearest point of the jack to the mat line being 2 metres from the front ditch, and the mat must be placed as described in law 6.1.1 by the first player to play.
15 10.5 For domestic play, Member National Authorities can decide to change the distance mentioned in law 10.1.3 from 23 metres to 21 metres.
The respot of the jack will be measured by a premeasure stick, during league play (diagram will be on the bulletin board)
The Respot Rules will be posted on the bulletin board in the club house
