We have received a few questions about the re-spotting of the jack when it has been knocked out of play. The jack will only be placed at the 2-metre mark if the jack, while in motion passes out of the rink on the right or left side, passes over the bank, or comes to rest in a hollow in the face of the bank. In any other situation where an end must be replayed, the end will still be replayed.
While in motion is an important phrase. A jack is only in motion if it has been legally disturbed. So a jack that is hit by a rebounding non-toucher is not in motion, nor is a jack that has been disturbed by someone's foot or any other outside force (this list is not exhaustive).
The re-spot rule only covers a small number of situations in the Laws, but they are the most common situations we experience on the greens.
