To facilitate legal play, specific markers must be fixed to the side banks of every rink as per Law 5.12. The 2-metre markings are critical for mat placement; Law 6.1.1 dictates that the front edge of the mat must be at least 2 metres from the rear ditch. Similarly, 25-metre markings indicate the maximum distance the mat can be placed from the rear ditch. These pegs act as essential visual guides for players and markers to ensure the integrity of the end. While outdoor markers are often movable pegs, indoor facilities typically utilize permanent tape or paint on the banks. Without these regulated markers, officials cannot accurately determine if a mat has been placed too far forward or if the jack has been positioned correctly.
