How is a "team" defined in bowls?

A "team" in the context of bowls is specifically defined as either a Four, a Triple, or a Pair. This definition encapsulates the various formats of team play in bowls, where players are grouped into specific configurations that represent different styles of competition.

In a Four, there are four players per team, competing against another team of four. In a Triple, three players form a team, and similarly, in a Pair, there are two players. Each of these configurations requires the players to work collaboratively to achieve victory, utilizing both strategy and skill.

The other definitions don't align with how a "team" is recognized in bowls. For instance, a singles format does not involve a team, as it relates to individual competition. While a broader interpretation could suggest any two or more players competing together, it does not explicitly capture the officially recognized forms of team play. Similarly, describing a team as an individual player fails to meet the criteria for team competition in bowls. Hence, defining a team as either a Four, a Triple, or a Pair accurately reflects the structured and competitive nature of the sport.
