Re-spot Clarification

4/19/2017

3 Comments

 
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.

When does this law come into effect - this year? Why was there not more said about it at the Spring meeting if we are expected to use it in our clubs. I don't object to the change, but feel communication has been inadequate. Where can I get complete outline of the law with diagrams. Thanks

There is no law change. Respots have been adopted for OLBA championship events. Outside of those events, you're still free to do as you please.
