Games for the Sundowner III Event

Each bowler collects the team scoring points for all teams they play on during the evening. The bowler with the most points wins the Sundowner Grand Prize. Teams are redrawn for each game and no two bowlers should play together more than once. You do not necessarily have to play all the games to win the Grand Prize. Other prizes for individual games TBD.

Six end Aussie Doubles – Cutthroat Ten

Regular 4 bowl Aussie Doubles game with an optional scoring twist. Once in each game, each team gets to declare, if they chose to, that the scoring will be Cutthroat and worth 4,3,2 and 1 point for the four closest bowls in that end. They must do that once the first four bowls are thrown in an end (when the bowlers change positions). If no declaration is made by either team then regular scoring is used. Because both teams can score in cutthroat, the team with the closest bowl (4 pointer) will lead off the next end.

Eight end Double Jack Game

Regular 3 bowl Triples game with a bonus point twist. Flip a coin or a bowl to determine who starts. Both leads will throw out a jack and they stay where thrown as long as they are within regulation length. Do not center them. The first lead then starts play as normal and the shots alternate as per a normal game. Bowlers may shoot to either jack during play and bowls around both are scored normally but there is a chance that one or more of your bowls may actually count with both jacks depending upon how they lie. A thrown bowl that hits the jack scores one bonus point. Skips may ask you to aim for a specific jack to help cut down opposition scoring or to build a wall around one of them for a higher team score. As both teams could conceivably score on each end and perhaps tie, the teams will alternate leading regardless of who scored.

Roundabout Game …..

Six or Eight ends depending upon number of bowlers involved and pace of play. Triples game ….. with each bowler throwing 3 bowls each (if numbers require a team of two to compete against a team of three, then the skip on the team of three will only throw two bowls per end to keep total bowls thrown to eight per team.)

Game starts as per normal and is scored as per normal. After one end in each direction is played, all bowlers on both teams rotate one position. The original skip becomes the lead, the lead goes to second (vice skip) and the second moves down the rink to become the skip for the next end. After two more ends are scored, all bowlers on both teams rotate one position again in the same manner as the first. After six ends, each team member will have played in each position twice to complete a set. After three sets, the game is done or if played as an eight end game, then bowlers rotate positions one more time.
