There will be eight sections of six teams , playing five qualifying games of 15 completed ends.
Play will commence each day at 8.30am on Friday and Saturday and on Sunday at 8:00am.
After the qualifying round robin , the top qualifier in each section goes into division 1, the second team in each
section goes into division 2 and the remaining teams, based on qualifying order go into the remaining four sections.
Each of these six groups will then have eight teams, split into two groups of four, with each group of four playing a
round robin of 15 completed ends.
The winners of each round robin play for the top position of their section. In Post Section game draws are allowed
but not in the finals. In post section, finals only are scheduled. Other positions are determined by the results of post –
sections.
All games in the section round robin and post section games will be 15 completed ends or 2 hours 15 minutes
Winners of each Post Section group of four within the division will play Finals:
Division 1 play 15 completed ends with no time limit - no draw.
Division 2 play 11 completed ends with a 2 hour time limit - no draw.
Division 3 - 6 play 7 completed ends with a time limit of 1 hour 30 minutes - no draw.
Final divisional placing below finalist will be determined by finishing position with each post section division.
Note
- All round robins will be determined by wins and differential. If two teams are equal with wins and differential the
winner of the game between the two goes forward. If three teams are equal on wins and differential, the total
shots scored will be the tie – breaker.
- The finals should all begin by 1:30pm on Sunday at the latest.
