The Mat may be as far up the green as desired so long as a 21 Yard cast can be made, retaining the 1 yard from string and ditch rule.
When cast, the Jack shall rest at least 1 yard from a string or ditch. Minimum length of Jack to be 21 yards. 2 casts of the Jack are allowed, then the opposition has 2 casts.
During play if a Bowl touches a string or goes in the ditch it becomes dead and is removed.
