Thursday Night Mixers

PMCC Thursday Mixers Game Rules

1. All teams must have 4 registered players before stepping on the ice.
2. Teams with 5 players must record the 5^th players details, with the League Representatives, prior to the start of the season.
3. Teams must have at least 3 players to play.  Two registered team players are required to play a game. Spares (max 2 per game) must play either Lead or Second. Spares must be PMCC Members.
4. If a team is not prepared to start at 7:15pm they have until 7:30pm to start or forfeit the game.
5. The standard rules of curling apply when a player arrives late: 

• • A late player may join an end if they have arrived in time to throw their rocks, otherwise they must wait until the next end to participate.
  • When they arrive, they may be inserted into any position in the throwing order.
  • If a player has joined the game late the team may re-arrange their throwing order at the beginning of the next end.

6. If a game cannot be played on the designated evening, teams are encouraged to (in advance) reschedule the missed game during Port Moody Curling Club practice time.  Alternatively, the cancelling team can forfeit the game.
7. Games start at 7:15pm SHARP, if you wish to “run the rocks” do this in advance of playing time. Port Moody City asks that player do not go on the ice more than 5 minutes before our start time (7:10pm)
8. Port Moody City demands that games must be completed by 9:15 PM.

• • The clock timer sounds a warning buzzer after 100 minutes of play. (8:55PM)
  • When the warning buzzer sounds teams (typically the 3rds) must quickly agree that the end being played is the last end or that there will be one more. 

Guidelines for 3rds:

• • If the 4th rock of the end being played has not been delivered at the time of the buzzer (ie. if the leads have not completed throwing their rocks) then the current end is the final end of the game.
  • If 4 or more rocks have been delivered then teams will complete the current end and play one additional end.
  • “Delivered stone” means a stone that has been released by the thrower.
  • Under no circumstances may an end begin after 9:05 PM

9. League games may end in a tie, playoffs of course will not.

Remember to have fun!
