    on the stand, if any one pulled his stones from the stand, the ticker would shout you have burned and he can tick you and you have to place your stone on the stand.
    If the duck on the stand is down you have a chance to pick up your duck and run to the mark. If you succeed in getting then you can pitch your duck again. While you are pitching the players will be shouting "show covney". If the duck is behind the stand you can carry it back with two little flags to the stand. You cannot bring it any farther or if you do you have it burned. While duck is not burned the ticker cannot tick you.
