Rules Index

12. Scoring

(1) Games shall be decided by a majority of shots and a team scores one shot for each stone that is nearer the tee than any stone of the opposing team. 

(2) Every stone that is within 1.83 motors (6 feet) of the too is eligible to be counted. The 6‑foot measuring device shall be the sole instrument used to determine whether a stone is in the house, at the conclusion of the end, subject to Rule 4(9).

(3) Measurements shall be taken from the too to the nearest part of the stone.

(4) An end shall be considered as decided when the skips or acting skips in charge of the house at the time agree upon the score for that end. Should any stone(s) be displaced before agreement has been reached, the non‑offending team shall receive the benefit which may have accrued from a measurement. Should an umpire displace a stone when measuring one of the stones involved in the measurement, the stones shall be considered a tie.

(5) If two or more stones are so close to the tee that it is impossible to use a measuring device to determine the scoring stone, the determination shall be made visually by the umpire. If no decision can be made, the end shall be scored as a blank end.

13. Umpire

(1)The umpire has the general supervision of all games to which he/she is assigned.

(2)The umpire shall determine any matter in dispute between opposing skips, whether or not the matter is covered in the rules.

14. Postponement

If for any reason a game is postponed to another time, or a game is suspended, the game will continue at the point the game was suspended.
