The Role of The Skip
1. The Skip keeps the score on the score card.
2. You are in charge of your team. You must decide, with your opponent, any dispute or refer it to the umpire. Sign both score sheets at the end of a match, and act as scorer in a pairs match.
3. It is part of your job to instruct your LEAD and VICE as to how you want them to play their shots with the best chance of producing a score for your team. Should one of your teammates fail to make the shot called for, don't be critical. Remember, the player knows without being told that it was a bad shot.
4. Stand still, don't move around the head. This can be quite distracting to other players.
5. When your opponent delivers the last bowl at the conclusion of an end, it is your responsibility to remove the mat.
6. It is important to remember that as the skip of your team, your attitude towards your teammates and the game will often make the difference between a loss or win. The purpose of the game is to enjoy yourself, make it enjoyable for others and win if you can.
