General Rules:
- Positions alternate throwing rocks, throwing 2 rocks each team.
- The rocks must completely cross the hog line to stay in play.
- Throwers must release the rock before the hog line.
- If a rock hits the sideboard or the sidelines, they are out of play.
- Only one team can score points for any given end. The team with the closest rock to the center scores one point. This team can score additional points for each rock that is closer to the center than their opponents’ closest rock.
- A team can only begin to sweep the oppositions rock(s) once it has completely passed the T-line (the line that intersects the house).
- Only one sweeper can sweep past the T-line per rock.
- All curlers MUST wear clean shoes on the ice.
- Have Fun!
Tie Breaker rules (for Playoffs)
If a playoff game ends in a tie at the end of regulation time, a tie breaker will be played to decide a winner. The tie breaker will be as follows.
A draw to the button will be used to break a tie. The team whose rock is closest to the button will be deemed winner.
- Coin toss: The team winning the coin toss will decide weather they will curl first or second.
- Each team will decide on 4 players to take part in the tie breaker. 1 person to throw, 2 sweepers, and 1 "skip" who will direct the shot. The positions should be chosen at the time of the coin toss.
- The first team will throw their rock. Both teams (+ a neutral player from another team) should agree on where the rock landed. The rock is then removed from play allowing the second team to shoot at an empty house.
- Both teams (+ the same neutral player) will agree on where the second team's rock stopped. If possible, a winner will be determined.
- If no rocks land in the house, the teams will repeat step "iii" until a winner can be determined. The same order should be maintained throughout the shootout.
