League Rules

Matches Start at 1800
Each game consists of 16 ends

Dead ends count as played ends, with 2 shots penalty when on the last end.

Scoring – Win = 2 points; Draw = 1 point

Leads and twos are not permitted to visit the head until after they have each bowled.

If bad weather prevents a game from being completed then a game shall be considered played if 6 ends are achieved.

If games cannot be played then each team will receive 1 point plus 7 shots.

Substitutes – All players are responsible for arranging their own replacements during absence. First choice must be your opposite number from the resting team, followed by another player from the resting team, followed by one of the reserves or a WBC member . If no substitute can be found the game will be played two versus three.
System for two versus three:

In the team of three, the lead and two will play with 2 woods and the skip with 4 woods.
The team of two will play with 4 woods each.
The two skips will therefore compete on equal terms and all players will walk to the other end together.
The team of two will suffer a reduction of 20% of their score (rounded down).
To be ready for this eventuality , skips should bring 4 woods.
