      Rules will govern the games.

• A non-certified umpire will be on-site throughout the tournament.

• We play triples with a total of 6 games

• There are 3 games on Friday and 3 on Saturday, with 10 ends per game.

• If a game is tied after 10 ends, one more end will be played

      to break the tie.

• If your bowl hits the plinth and stays in play, the bowl remains

      live (there are some spots on the green where the plinth is higher than the green).

• Team communication through hand signals is encouraged and preferred.

• There will be 2 “trial ends.” If only one team wants to do this, that will be allowed. If neither team wants to do the 2 “trial ends,” they can start the game.
