RULES & GUIDELINES  FOR U 18 ATLANTIC

 

  1. CCA rulebook for officiated play will govern play (2010-2012)  
  2. Umpires
  • An Umpire will be assigned for each draw and designated as the “head-umpire”. All decisions of the head-umpire” are final.
  • The umpire will perform all measurements.

 

  1. Game Duration
  • Games are 8 ends; a 5 minute break will take place after the 4th end.
  • A break of 3 minutes will occur after the 8th end if an extra end is needed to decide the outcome.
  • Teams have two 1 minute Coach Times per game. Teams will have 15 seconds of stop time for Ice Shed access.
  • Each team will be entitled to an additional 1 minute Coach Time during the extra end.
  • Clocks are being used.  Each team will be allocated 59 minutes for 8 ends, 8 minutes for an extra end.
  • The delivering team’s clock shall continue to run until:
  1. All stones have come to rest in play or have crossed the back line, and
  2. The sweepers and player who has just delivered have moved to the extreme side of the sheet, and
  3. The delivering team has relinquished control of the house.  At this time, the opposing team becomes the delivering team and their clock shall be started.  In the event of a throw through or hog line violation, the delivering team’s clock shall continue to run until the stone has crossed the far back line.
  • At the conclusion of each end, both clocks shall be stopped and only restarted when the first rock of the next end reaches the near T-line or instructed to do so by an Umpire.
  • In the event of a Free Guard Zone measurement, the clock shall be stopped.  This will be an official Time Out and will not be considered in each teams’ Coach Time.
  • A period of dead-time (approx 1 min) will occur between ends when neither clock is running.
  • Consequences of running out of time are per the CCA rulebook (2010-2012) for officiated play.

  • Prior to game, team’s must report any line-up or rotation changes to officials.
