Can a player lift the jack to allow a bowl from an adjacent rink to pass?

In the context of the game of bowls, a player lifting the jack to allow a bowl from an adjacent rink to pass is not permitted because it disrupts the game and can interfere with other players' scoring opportunities. The rules of bowls stipulate that players must not take actions that can affect the course of play from other rinks. This ensures that each rink operates independently and maintains the integrity of the game.

Lifting the jack, regardless of the circumstances or the direction the bowl is traveling, is considered an interference. The player should instead make efforts to stop the bowl or ensure it does not impact their game. This is essential for maintaining fair play and respecting the structured nature of bowls as a competitive sport.
