In outdoor bowls the jack has no bias, but in Crown Green bowls, the jack has a bias similar to the bowl itself. jack high: is a comparison of the position of a bowl in relation to the jack. A "jack high bowl" means a bowl whose front edge, which is closest to the bowler on the mat, is level with the front edge of the jack.
Bowls, also known as lawn bowls or lawn bowling, is a sport in which players try to roll their ball (called a bowl) closest to a smaller ball (known as a "jack" or sometimes a "kitty"). The bowls are shaped (biased), so that they follow a curved path when being rolled.
One side of the bowl has an indent or dimple allowing the player to identify by touch which side of the bowl has the bias. Crown green bowls come in a variety of bias strengths, weights, densities, sizes, materials and colours. The minimum weight is 2 lb (0.91 kg) but there is no maximum weight.

The bias is a trivial calculation, but the variance of ¯ is more involved since the jackknife replicates are not independent. For the special case of the mean, one can show explicitly that the jackknife estimate equals the usual estimate:

Short mat bowls is played indoors, so it is an all-year sport that is not affected by weather conditions. Because the equipment is transportable and easy to set up, it is particularly appropriate for locations that are also used for other purposes such as village halls, schools, and sports and social clubs; it is even played on North Sea oil rigs.
An asymmetric funnel indicates a relationship between treatment effect estimate and study precision. This suggests the possibility of either publication bias or a systematic difference between studies of higher and lower precision (typically ‘small study effects’). Asymmetry can also arise from use of an inappropriate effect measure.
