Each club must provide two teams of four to play in each round.
The compe44on will be played as a double-rink knock-out, with the number of rounds
determined by the number of clubs that enter.
Each club will receive one hammer in each match. A coin toss is used to determine stone
colour for each club.
The winner of a match is determined by the total shots scored over the two games. In
the event of a 4e, both clubs will nominate one player to play a draw to the bu1on, with
the closest to the bu1on determining the winner. Players may only play their draw shot
on the sheet of ice on which they played.
For the final, an extra end will be played by both teams. If the match is s4ll 4ed, then the
draw shot as detailed above will be used to determine the winner.
Prizes will be awarded to the winners and losers of the final.
The winners will be presented with the Swan Trophy.

 Club Rules
For internal Events Only

A win scores two points, a draw one point.

Team placings will be decided by points, shots up, ends won and total shots for, in that
order.
All games, except Bonspiels, will be played to the bell.
Play in Bonspiels will be limited to 8 ends or the bell.

Skips are requested to telephone their rinks before each compe44on starts to confirm
their availability. However, if any player is unable to play then the onus is on that player
to find a subs4tute and advise the skip of the name of such subs4tute. Failure to provide
a subs4tute can upset the game for other members.

A subs4tute can play in any posi4on up to and including that of the person for whom they
are subs4tu4ng. When, however, the subs4tute is already allocated and plays in another
team in the league they can only subs4tute as lead irrespec4ve of the posi4on of the
person for whom they are subs4tu4ng.

STODDART SKIPS SUBSTITUTING IN THE COUSLAND CANNOT SKIP

Any non-member subs4tu4ng shall play lead

If a member of a team is late, the game will start with the bell and the team will lose one
shot for each ten minutes late up to three shots maximum.

Within the league compe44on subs4tutes are allowed:

1 or 2 subs4tutes no penalty
3 subs4tutes 3 penalty shots
4 subs4tutes 4 penalty shots

If a member of a team cannot present a subs4tute for their match, the team will be
permi1ed to play with 3 members. 3 penalty points will be forfeited.

It is the responsibility of the winning skip to ensure the completed card is placed in the
slot at the Midcalder no4ce board.

Scorecards must have date, compe44on and signatures from both skips. Where a score
card is incomplete or incorrectly filled in, the game will be deemed a draw, at the lower
score.
