Ladies' Summerspiel Rules

The Cape Cod Curling Club's

All draws will be timed, except finals for the 1st, 2nd, 3rd and 4th events. A draw will start with 1 hour, 50 minutes showing on the clock. When the clock zeros out, you will finish the end you have started:
1. The clock will start when the first rock on any sheet is put into play.
2. An end is considered “started” when the final stone of the previous end comes to a stop or is otherwise out of play.
3. It is not the intention that the clock unreasonably penalizes or be used as a tactic. To this end, the draw official may, at their sole discretion, overrule the clock.

A team not ready to play when the clock starts shall forfeit one end and one point; not ready at 1:35, forfeit a second end and point; and not ready at 1:20, shall forfeit the game. If play is started before forfeiture of the game, the non-offending team will have last stone advantage in the first end of actual play.

All substitutes shall be supplied or approved by the Cape Cod Men’s Spiel Chair or an on-site draw official.

Ties in the “knockout” rounds will be determined by Skip’s rocks.
1. Each Skip will deliver one rock to the house. The rock closest to the button will be declared the winner.
2. The team with the hammer in the end of the 8th end will throw first.
3. Teams may provide a broom and have sweepers.
4. In the event neither Skip’s rock stays in the house, the Vices will throw (and if needed the seconds will throw, and so on).
