Teams will begin the season in either Group A or Group B based on their performance from the previous year (i.e. points).  New teams joining the club or any former teams that do not have three of their former team members returning will start off the season in B group.

There will be four rounds of curling consisting of five games each.  Teams will be rearranged in the groups according to total points after the completion of the first round and again after the completion of the second round.  The third and fourth rounds will be the prize rounds with no movement of teams between these rounds.

All games will be 8 ends (or bell – 1 hour 45 minutes).  Late starts - one penalty point shall be assessed and one end shall be considered played after full minutes the team is late.  A second point and another end shall be considered played after 15 minutes.  When the late team arrives, they will have last rock on the first ‘real’ end. If after 30 minutes the game has not commenced, the non-offending team shall be declared the winner by default.

                        POINTS

                Win        Loss       
        Group A         10           5        DW=Full points
        Group B           9           4         DL= No points    

There will be no extra ends.  After the final end a tie breaker will be decided by the rock thrown by those persons delivering ‘skips’ rocks (with sweepers).  This applies to regular season games only.

All teams must play as drawn.  The exceptions to this rule are teams competing in Ladies, Seniors, Masters, or Mixed district play downs or berth bonspiels.  The team unable to make the game will be allowed to make up the game prior to the end of the round.  You must contact DLCC to book your own ice at a mutually agreeable time.  The team must notify “Ice and Draw” after the game to correctly allocate points.  If you are unable to make up the game, the team competing in the play downs will receive ‘loser’ points, not the usual ‘DL’ points .

In order for a game to be valid, each team must have a minimum of two (2) regular team members.  Any teams requiring a spare are asked to phone the spare list provided first.  Then if still unable to retain a spare, you may call an outside curler.  If one spare is required they will play lead position – two spares will play lead and second.  This applies to both regular and playoff games.

Club Champion:  To be determined by a playoff between the teams with the most number of points for the entire season from each of Tuesday and Thursday nights.

Grand Aggregate:  Team with the most number of wins accumulated throughout the season.

A and B Group Winner and Runner Up:  Teams in A Group and B Group on both Tuesday and Thursday with the highest and second highest number of points in prize round.

A and B Group Trophies:  To be determined by a playoff between A Group winners of Tuesday and Thursday night, and a playoff between B Group winners of Tuesday and Thursday night.

If two or more teams are tied after the prize round (3rd and 4th rounds) the win/loss record between the two or more teams in the fourth and final round will determine the winner.

Playoff games: If spares are required, the spare list must be called first, followed by the regular member list from either Tuesday or Thursday.  Games will follow the rules used for the regular season.  Tie games will be resolved with an extra end.

All matters not dealt with in these rules shall be governed by the CurlManitoba and CCA Rule Books at www.curlmanitoba.org

Effective date:  October 21, 2010
