Bowling on bbc2

Q: Could anyone explain to me why, in indoor bowls, does the umpire spray the bowls after contact with another bowl?

The reason the bowls are sprayed is to mark them as touchers. These are bowls which, because they have touched the jack, can not be knocked out of play by hitting them into the ditch. The spray is more accurite than what is used in most indoor bowls clubs which is chalk.
