The first player's bowl has come to rest just in front of the jack ; the second has delivered his bowl and is following after it with one of those eccentric contortions still not unusual on modern greens, the first player meanwhile making a repressive gesture with his hand, as if to urge the bowl to stop short of his own ; the third player is depicted as in the act of delivering his bowl.

Strutt ( Sports and Pastimes ) suggests that the first player's bowl may have been regarded by the second player as a species of jack ; but in that case it is not clear what was the first player's target.

After each competitor has delivered all of their bowls ( four each in singles and pairs, three each in triples, and two bowls each in fours ), the distance of the closest bowls to the jack is determined ( the jack may have been displaced ) and points, called " shots ", are awarded for each bowl which a competitor has closer than the opponent's nearest to the jack.
