The No Tick Rule will be in effect
Sheet assignments are predetermined on the schedule and draws must be played on the designated sheets.
Leads from each team will flip for hammer prior to each draw.
Teams may choose to play dedicated positions or rotate if desired. If a team chooses to rotate positions, they must start the rotation at the beginning of the second end and do so for the entirety of the draw.
In order to participate in a draw, teams must have at minimum, one rostered team member in attendance with up to three substitutions. It is each team's responsibility to secure subs in a player's absence. A minimum of 3 players (1 rostered and 2 subs) is required to participate in the draw. Failure to secure the minimum number of players will result in a forfeit. If a team is participating in a draw with subs, a rostered member is required to skip for the duration of the draw. Even if the team elects to rotate positions, a rostered member must stay in the skip position. In the spirit of curling, if two or more teams require substitutions for the same draw, subs will be divided amongst the teams to best eliminate the possibility of forfeit.
NO SUBSTITUTIONS WILL BE ALLOWED FOR THE FINALS.
If a team is participating in a draw with only 3 curlers (this includes subs) the skip may only deliver 2 stones per end with the lead and second each delivering 3 stones per end.
If two teams are tied for points following the round robin, the tie will be broken by the team with the highest cumulative score from draws.If a Semi-Final or Final ends in a tie, a draw to the button will determine the tie breaker.
Each team will select a member to throw the draw.Only sweeping by the throwing team is allowed.Stone must come to rest on the house to be counted.If neither team lands a stone in the house, a new member of the team will be selected and draw will be thrown until a stone is successfully in the house.
