How many people play lawn bowls?
There are several different games: singles - one on one using 4 bowls; pairs - two on each team using four bowls; triples - 3 on each team using 3 bowls and Rinks - 4 on each team using 2 bowls.
The bias on lawn bowls is the side of the lawn bowl that is heavier. Different types of bowls will have stronger biases and depending on where the weight is in the bowl it might have a gradual lean or a strong hook turn.
It depends how many people are playing and what the competition is.
If you are playing a Singles game (1 person) - its usually first to 21 points
If your playing a timed game, its the person to score the most points in the time given.
To get points you must have your bowl closest to the Jack at the end of the end.

If you are wanting something to put a single bowl into--like a ball-shaped cover for an individual bowl, I have also attached links to ball patterns. Just modify the ball shape to have a closing--something like a draw-string for the top, or a button-closure for the middle of the ball shape, to give you a couple of ideas.
