Under Law 14.4, if a jack is pushed toward the side boundary, it remains live unless it is entirely outside the line. A jack on the line is still in play. For bowls delivered toward a boundary jack, Law 17.1.3 specifies that a bowl is dead if it finishes entirely outside the side boundary of the rink. However, a bowl can travel outside the boundary during its flight, provided it curves back and comes to rest within the rink. Players must be careful not to displace the boundary markers or pegs. If the jack is moved by a bowl in course and comes to rest on the side boundary, its position is judged from above to ensure it is not "out."
