2)No stone lying within this zone may be removed from play by the opposition until the first four stones played in any end have come to rest. Any shot played In those circumstances which results in an opposition stone being moved from the free guard zone, either directly or indirectly, to an out of play position is an infraction which shall result in the played stone being removed from play and any other stone if moved being replaced where it previously lay. All stones shall be replaced to the satisfaction of the skip of the non‑offending team.
