Rules of Play

1.            USCA rules of play govern play unless noted below.

2.            Games are 10 ends with extra ends played as necessary.  Practice time and rock color are on the draw schedule.

3.            First practice begins 30 minutes prior to the scheduled draw time.  Second practice begins 20 minutes prior to the scheduled draw time.  Practice is 8 minutes of delivery and sweeping.

4.            At the conclusion of each team’s pre-game practice, different players deliver two stones to the tee at the home end – one stone with a clockwise and the other with a counter-clockwise rotation. Sweeping is allowed. An official measures the distance between the stone and the tee in inches. The first stone will be measured and removed from play before the second stone is delivered. The distances recorded for each stone added together gives the team its LSD total for that game. The team with the lesser LSD total has the choice of delivering the first or second stone in the first end of that game. If the LSD totals for both teams are the same, a coin toss decides which team has the choice of delivering the first or second stone in the first end. Each player on the team must throw a minimum of 1 LSD over the course of the round-robin. 

5.            Teams not available for practice receive an LSD of 73+73=146 (inches). 

6.            Be sure to make sure the official records the LSD as its average (DSC) may be necessary for placement in the playoffs.

7.            Please post scores promptly after each end - including the final end.

Playoff Scenarios – Men
