Holiday Spiel

Doug Potter, Bonspiel Chair

Rules of Play

8 end games, 4 rock free guard zone in effect.

Tied games – if the game is tied after 8 ends, play one extra end if time permits.  After that, skips (or another team member) shoot out (closest to the button with sweepers) to determine the winner.  No practice shot allowed.  If needed, see the bonspiel chair or his representative about whether time permits.

Draw Double Prize (Friday & Saturday only)

On Friday and Saturday, if your team scores a double, put the double marker (star shaped balloon) next to your sheet.  The team with the marker at the end of a draw wins a pitcher of beer.  See the bonspiel chair for your voucher.

A double removes two of your opponents’ stones from the house to out of the house.

There is an appropriate substitution for Junior teams.

Banquet

Saturday night from 5 to 6 pm.  Extra dinner tickets can be purchased from me for $20 per person.  Canyon’s restaurant is the caterer.  The menu is BBQ Baby Back Ribs, grilled BBQ Chicken breast, Mashed Potatoes, and Cole Slaw.

Food

There is food available throughout the spiel.  Be sure to thank Cindy Kozai and her helpers for all of it – and for the desert at dinner.

Return of the ugly sweater contest

Due to popular demand, the ugly sweater contest returns.  Prizes for ugliest team and ugliest individual.  Wearing sweaters while playing increases your chance of winning (exposure you know).  Having your sweaters shed onto the ice gathers unwanted attention.

I’ll have a prize for best team name.
