Practice & LSD
10 minutes before scheduled starting time there is 5 min practice per team where team first on the schedule plays first with yellow stones. In first game there is a coinflip to decide who starts due to un-even amount of games. Team that has had practice plays one LSD. First team chooses anti clockwise or clockwise rotation. Next team plays the opposite rotation.
This LSD is to decide hammer and later used to decide playoff-teams through the overall ranking if internal games are not enough. No LSD will be removed since there are only 3 LSD.
Practice and LSD will be announced.
