10. The order of play

The button DRAW THE ORDER AT RANDOM generates a random order of play, shown in the "Order of play" tab. Handy for sending the shooters on in a fair order.

11. Rules & organisation

The tabs Rules and Organisation contain ready-to-consult sheets: detailed points scale for each station, list of equipment needed (shooting mat, circles, bowls, markers…) and organisation tips (preparation, refereeing, duration, etc.).
