RULES & INFORMATION
NUMBER OF ENDS:
All group games are 8 ends and a 2 stone DSC shootout if the game is tied after 8 ends.
All playoff games are 8 ends and extra ends when necessary.
SWEEPING:
Sweeping: If we see a team “dumping” or “lifting” you will receive 1 warning and if you continue to do this, the umpire will remove any following stones that are observed breaking the sweeping rules by either dumping or lifting during the remainder of the competition.
MEASURING:
Please measure yourself together with the opposition but if you do need help, let one of the event officials know and we will of course help you!
TIME:
We will not be timing any games, but we ask you to aim for 15 mins per end, so we have time to re-surface the ice between each game. If you are playing slowly, we will give you a polite reminder!
PLAYOFFS:
The highest ranked team in each playoff game (including mens tiebreakers) will have choice of hammer or colour.
STREAMING:
We will stream all games from our stationary cameras on the Sundbyberg Curlinghall YouTube channel.
