Great project. My I make an suggestion under sport - add a new icon for lawn bowls (http://www.bowlsgn.co.za/). I would suggest a large black ball next to a small white ball. Or if one look at (http://bendigo2004.thecgf.com/About_the_Games/Sports/Lawn_Bowls/). I have noted that if one look at a google image search for lawn bowls http://www.google.co.za/images?q=lawn+bowls&oe=utf-8&rls=org.mozilla:en-US:official&client=firefox-a&um=1&ie=UTF-8&source=univ&sa=X&ei=lJuFTbLxHdOzhAfh6qyuBA&ved=0CFUQsAQ&biw=1162&bih=749) then a person releasing a bowl would appear to be frequently used.

Posted on Mar 20, 2011 by Swift WombatThat icon is a man throwing a ball, in lawn bowls you role the ball.

Posted on Mar 21, 2011 by Quick WombatFrom my point of view, the boules icon is showing the man roling the ball, like it should be.
(I am french by the way, I am well aware how Boules/Pétanque/Lawn bowls works :)

Posted on Mar 22, 2011 by Swift Wombat:) Just an question from an English speaking South African. The way I understand the terms are as follows: Lawn bowls is played on a large grass field with the player rolling a large ball towards a small white ball. P�tanque the target ball is placed on the ground (not grass) and the player throws (underhand) a big metal ball towards the target. Bouls - I have no idea.
Therefore from the above you can see why I saw the icon as being "not correct" for I see a man throwing a ball. (underhand).
I will therefore use that icon to indicate lawn bowls.
Enjoy your day
