World Curling Federation (WCF) rules apply, unless otherwise indicated below or explained at the Team Meetings. MEN on 25 April at 1330 and WOMEN on 26 April at 1045. 2. The Women (7 teams) and the Men (11 teams) are each placed in a group and play a single round robin series. At the end of the round robin there will be a ranking established for places 1 to 4 using the October 2015 WCF Rules of Competition (C9) Team Ranking Procedure. The team ranked 1st will play against the team ranked 2nd, the winner qualifies their Association for the 2016 European Curling Championship B-Division and wins the Gold medal. Also, the team ranked 3rd will play against the team ranked 4th. The loser of the 1 v 2 game will then play the winner of the 3 v 4 game, that winner also qualifies their Association for the 2016 European Curling Championship B-Division and wins the Silver medal; the loser receives the Bronze medal. 3. All games will be ten (10) ends, with extra end(s) to break tied games. 4. There will be a nine (9) minute practice for each team before each round robin game. The practice starts 30 minutes before the scheduled game time. The team with the first practice during the round robin will be the team with dark stones. 5. At the conclusion of the team’s pre-game practice, two players each deliver a stone to the tee at the home end; the first stone with a clockwise rotation, and the second stone with a counter-clockwise rotation. The distances are combined to determine the Last Stone Draw (LSD) for that game. The team with the lesser LSD distance has the choice of delivering first or second stone in the first end. If the LSD totals for both teams are the same, the individual LSD stones are compared and the best non-equal LSD has the choice of delivering first or second stone in the first end. When both teams have the exact same individual LSD stone distances, a coin toss will be used to determine that choice. 6. First named teams in each draw play the stones with the dark coloured handles, and wear dark coloured upper playing garments. Second named teams in each draw play the stones with the light coloured handles, and wear light coloured upper playing garments. Note: red is considered a dark colour. 7. NOTE: There will only be one sesson of tie-breaker games (Rule C9). 8. The Chief Umpire will determine the schedule and ice for all post round robin games as soon as the number of games required and the opponents have been determined. www.worldcurling.org
