| Players are the most important people in the sport. |
| Playing for the team and helping the team to win is a fundamental part of the game. |
| But fair play and respect for all others is equally fundamental. |

| • Follow the rules and procedures of their club and league |
| • Adhere to BCGBA and SCBA rules and byelaws |
| • Act in accordance with the rules of the competition or event |

| 2020 additions |
| |
| 1. No drinks allowed on the green. |
| 2. No swearing on or round the green. |
| 3. No Intimidation on or round the green. |
| 4. No unauthorised person allowed on the green |
| |
| Clarification on Rule No 4 for the Wolverhampton Senior League. We would expect Captains to nominate before the game starts one player from each team for each set of 3 games, to go on the green when asked to measure or advise situation of the end in question. We do no want to see non players walking on the green unless called for. Like in all situations common sense should prevail |
| From a League Point of view, we would hope that the above additions do not feature in our league. However if any one of these issues occur during a league event, then the incident should be reported to League Secretary in writing or email with 48 hours of the occurrence |
