Our head umpire Melanie Vizenor is bringing back a popular column from our former head umpire extraordinaire Conrad Melton called Ump Stumpers where we're asked how we might resolve an issue that arises during the course of a match using the Laws of the Sport of Bowls to defend your argument. This is meant to be a fun informative conversation that will test and challenge your knowledge of the game. This new website will archive the questions and answers and provide you with a place to comment and join the discussion. We hope you enjoy this new (revised) forum.
