If an incomplete end occurs due to players leaving the green, what is the ruling?

When players leave the green during an incomplete end, the appropriate ruling is to replay the end. This ruling ensures that all players have a fair opportunity to participate and that the integrity of the game is maintained. An incomplete end indicates that the situation was disrupted in a way that does not allow for a fair continuity of play. By replaying the end, it allows for the conditions of the game to return to a state where all players are engaged, and the gameplay can proceed without any unfair advantage or disadvantage that may have arisen from the players leaving.

The other options do not align with the rules governing bowls, as they would not appropriately address the disruption caused by the absence of players. Resuming from where they left off or declaring the end complete would fail to account for the necessary participation of all players in that specific end. Counting shots accrued until the delay would not be fair since it does not reflect the actual play that should have occurred had all players been present. Therefore, replaying the end is the rightful and equitable solution in this scenario.
