- Tie games are to be broken by a "draw to the button" with sweeping by the delivering team only.
- Record a Win (W), Loss (L), or Loss in a tie (Lt) for every game.
- Win (W) = 2 points;
- Loss in a tie (Lt) = 1 point;
- Loss (L) = 0 points.
- There will be 2 round-robin draws. Teams will be assigned a team number (identifier). This number does NOT reflect any standing. The goal is to ensure a fair distribution of early and late games.
- At the end of any draw, ties in the standings will be broken using the results of the head-to-head games of the teams that are tied. If that does not break the tie, then the results of a "draw to the button" will be used.
- If your team could finish in a tie, your team is responsible to perform a "draw-to-the-button", with sweeping. The distance from the pin to the rock is measured and recorded. If the rock covers the pin such that a measurement cannot be performed, a distance of ZERO is recorded.
- At the end of draw #1:
- the top 2 or 3 teams in "B" will move to "A" for draw #2; and
- the bottom 2 or 3 teams from "A" move to "B".
