Competition Rules for 2010/11

David Duncan

The Trophy will be initially played in 3 Leagues, and played as a round robin   Each team will play each other team in their league and all games are 8 ends or the bell. In the league stages the results score 2 points for a win, one point each team for a draw, and no points for a loss – ie games can be peeled.

The top team from each league will progress to the semi finals. Where two teams are equal on points, after the Section Games, the result between the equal teams shall determine the qualifier. Where more than two teams are equal, the team winning the division shall be decided by (in order) total ends scored, total shots up and total shots.  

The best 2nd placed team will also qualify for the semi finals. This will be decided (in order) points, total ends scored, total shots up and total shots. However for divisions where there are 5 teams the results against the lowest placed team will not be included in the calculation.    

SEMIFINALS

In the Semi-finals, games peeled shall be settled by a ‘one shot’ draw shot challenge.  

FINAL

In the Final, games peeled shall progress to an extra end. If teams remain peeled after the extra end, a draw shot challenge shall occur to decide the winner. If a draw shot challenge is required one stone shall be thrown, by a player nominated by their skip. This stone can be swept by the team, no sweeping behind the line by the opposing team.
