21.1 If the umpire, either by their own observation or on appeal by one of the skips or
opponents in Singles, decides that a player has not met the terms of law 20, the
umpire should, on the first occasion, warn the player in the presence of the skip
and advise the manager or the coach when they are present that a warning has
been given.
21.2 On each occasion after this, the umpire should have the player’s bowl stopped and
declared dead.
21.3 If it has not been possible to stop the bowl and it disturbs the head, the opponent
should choose whether to:
21.3.1 replace the head;
21.3.2 leave the head as altered; or
21.3.3 declare the end dead.
21.4 If a player has been given a warning and still fails to meet the terms of law 20
while delivering the jack, law 23.2 will apply.
23.2 If a player improperly delivers the jack, the opposing player should place the mat
as described in law 19.1.1 and re-deliver the jack, making sure that it is centred,
but the opposing player should not play first.
