SPORTING BEHAVIOUR
Despite the fairly poor weather, the league season has got under way successfully with many exciting matches and much competitive bowling. However, our Chairman wishes to mention that SCBA expects 'the highest standards of conduct from those involved' in order to maximise the enjoyment and benefits. A couple of recent incidents mean that it is necessary to remind you that all players are 'expected to treat fellow participants with respect and courtesy'-----it is not for example sporting to react badly in defeat and in fact the opposition should be congratulated rather than criticised for their style of play. It is also an established rule (8.2) that 'when an end is being measured, all players must stand away and not interfere (by action or comment) with the actions of the measurers'----and the decisions of "officials" should be accepted without dissent.
