World Curling Federation (WCF) rules apply, unless otherwise indicated below or explained during the Team Meeting (Saturday, 8 February, 12:40 – 13:20). 2. The men’s and women’s teams are placed in groups and play a single round robin. At the end of the round robins there will be a ranking established for places 1 to 4 using the June 2011 WCF Rules of Competition (C9) – Team Ranking Procedure. The team ranked 1st will then play against the team ranked 4th in one semifinal, and the team ranked 2nd will play against the team ranked 3rd in the other semifinal. The winners play in the Gold Medal game, the losers play in the Bronze Medal game. 3. All games will be ten (10) ends, with extra end(s) to break tied games. 4. The first named team in each draw plays the stones with dark coloured handles, and should wear dark coloured upper playing garments. Note: red is considered a dark colour. 5. There will be a nine (9) minute practice for each team before each round robin game. The first practice starts 30 minutes before the scheduled game time. First named teams have the 1st pre–game practice, except for the five (5) games marked with an * when a coin–toss will determine 1st and 2nd pre–game practice. 6. At the conclusion of the team’s pre–game practice, one player delivers one stone to the tee at the home end. The team with the lesser Last Stone Draw (LSD) distance has the choice of delivering first or second stone in the first end. If the LSDs are equal, a coin toss will determine which team has the choice. 7. 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.
