The team listed on the top of the scoreboard will play the Red stones.
For each teams first game in the Round Robin there will be a 5 minute practice. A coin toss will decide which team practices first if both teams are playing their first game. At the conclusion of the practice the team will play ONE stone toward the Home End to decide Hammer. Optional rotation.
At the conclusion of the first game and all subsequent Round Robin games the teams will play one LSD stone (rotation optional) toward the Home End. This stone will be measured and determine Hammer in the following Round Robin game and also count toward your overall competition DSC result.
Round Robin
There will be no Time Outs in the Round Robin stages
If a Round Robin game is tied at the conclusion of the 8th end then one Extra end will be played. If the team with Hammer fails to score the game will be awarded to the opposition.
Playoffs
Playoffs will be for 8 teams. The top 2 teams in each section (Win/Loss then DSC ranking) will qualify for the Playoffs.
The Top 8 teams who move on to the Playoffs will be combined together and ranked 1-8 first by Win/Loss record in the Round Robin and then overall DSC score. This ranking will decide pairings for the Quarter Finals with 1 playing 8, 2 playing 7, etc. The higher ranked team in each Playoff Game has choice of 1st/ 2nd practice or Stone colour.
Playoff games will have a 9 minute practice followed by 2 LSD stones. First clockwise then counterclockwise. Best combined DSC score has Hammer in the first end. DSC score does not carry over to the next game.
In the Playoffs Extra ends will be played until the game is decided.
A minimum of 6 Ends must be played. Each game will have 30 minutes Thinking Time on the clock. Each team will be allowed one Time Out even if they do not have a Coach. It will be 120 seconds (60 Travel Time and 60 Coach Interaction) and Coaches must remain on the rubber walkway. There will be no 4th end break.
The losing teams of the Quarter Finals will all be ranked as 5th place.
