Mixed Ladder Rules

Games in the season are to be played in accordance with the CCA Rules of Curling for General Play, as well as the following local rules and regulations:

1. Games shall consist of 8 ends, with starting times of 7:00pm and 9:00pm.
   • For the 7:00pm draw, at 25 minutes before the scheduled end of the game rinks will complete the end in progress and then are only allowed one more regular end.
   • If the score is equal at the end of regular play, the game will be recorded as a tie.
   • For purposes of decision, an end is considered in progress when the first rock is thrown and to have ended when the last rock has been thrown.
   • Special Note: Due to the new 4 rock rule, the match committee reserves the right to move the starting time of the early draw from 7:00pm to 6:45pm upon notification to all teams in the ladder if the early games are not getting completed or are consistently going past 9:00pm.
2. Games must start on time.
   • The team which delays the start of a game shall be penalized one point for each 10 minutes delay and one end shall be considered to have been played for each full 10 minute period. Curling etiquette demands the offending skip mark up the penalty score without discussion before the game begins. After 30 minutes delay, the game must be defaulted.
   • The team that has not delayed the game will automatically be awarded the hammer for the start of the match.
3. No team shall start a game short of players if a spare is available.
   • A player wishing to spare should let it be known that she/he is available to play on that draw.
   • If a team refuses to take an available spare, it will default the game.
4. A minimum of three players are required on each team and there must be at least two members of the regular team present for a game to be legal.
5. The skip may use spares from any Mixed Ladder section, or any regular member not already in the ladder, subject to the spare rules below:
   • A spare may NOT throw skip stones (rocks 7 & 8), and a spare can ONLY be in the house calling line when skip stones (rocks 7 & 8) are being thrown.
   • A spare must play at the same position, or a lower position than the regular position of the missing player.
   • A spare may only play two games for any one team during a particular round. If, however, a skip wishes to permanently replace a player, the skip must advise the match committee.
   • Any rink may designate a fifth player provided that they are not a member of another rink in the Mixed Ladder. Once designated as the fifth player on a team, they will remain part of that team for the remainder of the year.
6. Playoffs and Club Champions
   • The Club Champion trophy is awarded to the rink having accumulated the greatest number of points after the end of the last round. In the case of a tie, a Tie-Breaker game will be held to determine the Club Champion.
   • The sectional playoffs this year will consist of one 10-end game to be played on the last Thursday/Friday of the year between the two teams with the best record in the third round of each section.
7. Postponing Games
   • All teams should try their best to play each game as scheduled as there is limited free ice in which to play make up games.
   • Any rink desiring a postponement is responsible to contact the opposing rink and advise them of such before the game is scheduled to be played. In such a circumstance, the team postponing the game is responsible for rescheduling the game at a time acceptable to the opposing rink. Where postponed games have not been played by the end of the regular draw, the rink requesting the postponement will be charged with a loss.
   • It is the responsibility of the rink postponing the game to also advise the Match chairman of such a postponement. By doing so, that sheet will be made available to teams wishing to make up a game. In the event that three or more members of a team represent the club in a branch or provincial competition, the skip may request the match committee to reschedule their game.
8. Default Game
   • When a game is defaulted, the offending team is given ZERO points for the default and the other non-offending team is awarded a win. The following are grounds for defaults:
     • A team does not show up for a scheduled game without notifying anyone.
     • A team playing a game with one or less members of the regular team.
     • Postponing a game and failing to re-schedule the game.
     • Failure to postpone a game within the proper time limit (at least one hour prior to the scheduled game).
