If a bowl that has touched the jack is at risk of moving while marked, what should be done?

When a bowl touches the jack during play, it is classified as a toucher. This status is important because touchers are allowed to remain in play, even if they subsequently move or become displaced. If a bowl that has been recognized as a toucher is at risk of moving while being marked, it should be nominated as a toucher to maintain its status in the game.

Nominating the bowl as a toucher ensures that it is clearly recognized for its valid position in the rules, allowing the game to proceed correctly. This action aligns with standard regulations in bowls, where a bowl deemed a toucher retains its designation throughout the end, regardless of any subsequent movement that may occur.

Being aware of the status of each bowl, especially in a situation where it may be at risk of movement, is crucial for maintaining the integrity of the game and ensuring that all players adhere to the rules.
