CLUB SQUARE DRAW RULES

All games in the CCC square draws will be played under the rules of the Canadian Curling Association. 4-Rock Free Guard Zone rule is in effect for 2004/05, refer to the CCA rule book). Where the below stated house rules conflict with the CCA rules, the house rules take precedence.
Games shall be played on the date specified unless prior arrangements have been made via the office. All postponed games must be made up prior to the completion of the current round robin square. You must advise the office as to the winner as soon as possible.
At the conclusion of a Round in the Square Draw, it is the skip's responsibility to phone the office for the first game in the next Round.
Substitution
Where substitution for absent team members is necessary, a team may engage
    1. up to four rovers;
    2. up to two members of other club square draw teams;
    3. or a combination of up to the limits above
Non-Rover Substitutes must play lead or second.
If a team is present and ready to play on the draw date, and the opponents fail to appear within 30 minutes after the scheduled starting time, the game will be forfeited to the team present.
If a team is present and ready to play on the date drawn, and the opponents appear more that 10 minutes after the scheduled starting time, one point shall be awarded for every 10 minutes that the opposition is late. For each point awarded, one end shall be considered played. The team awarded the points shall have 'last rock' in the first end played.
Rovers will be contacted by skips using the list provided in the roster book or by the Club office. The office will amend the master list by additions and deletions as they occur. Rovers who desire a game and have not been called may contact the Club office. If a skip calls in, a rover will be slotted in for that team at the time desired. Rovers are reminded that they can get in a game almost any draw by being at the Club prior to the scheduled draw time.
