Rules.
If a jack is moved by a non toucher that rebounds from the bank it should be put back in its former position.
If a jack in the ditch is moved by a non toucher it should be put back in its former position.
If a jack in motion is displaced by a non toucher that rebounds from the bank it should be put back to where they think it would come to rest. if agreement can’t be reached the end is to be called dead.

Etiquette
Bear in mind that some people like to see the rink boundary markers and the centre pin while  you are not obscuring them. On sunny days you must also ensure that your shadow does not fall on the jack.
