There are ten games per team.
Every opposition team is played twice this season
This means that every player can expect six or seven games this season if they are available
There are 15 dates in the diary to allow for slippage due to team shortages
The ‘seeded’ player on each team (who skips frequently) should not skip in this competition, allowing the role to be filled by different players across the weeks to develop players’ experience.
Rules if you are short of players:
You can approach players from other teams in an emergency, provided the person you approach is of the same ability as the person they are replacing.
If you have tried to arrange a team from your existing members and then tried the above and are still unsuccessful, you will need to rearrange.
In this situation, it is important that you advise the team captain that you’re due to play and that the game needs to be arranged before 1 o’clock on the Thursday before the game.
