Marking at Singles Events
There are times when requests will be made for "markers" to assist at singles events and tournaments. Markers do not just centre the jack -- there is much more to it!
The image below is taken from Bowls Canada's rule book and outlines the role of the marker. If you agree to be a marker, be sure to know all your duties! If in doubt, ask an umpire!
Becoming an Umpire
Bowls Canada has a National Officiating Committee with the goal of having at least one qualified umpire per club.
Find out more about qualifying or re-certifying as an umpire at Bowls Canada's website here.
