6 The Spirit of Curling Curling is a game of skill and of tradition. A shot well executed is a delight to see and it is also a fine thing to observe the time-honoured traditions of curling being applied in the true spirit of the game. Curlers play to win, but never to humble their opponents. A true curler never attempts to distract opponents, nor to prevent them from playing their best, and would prefer to lose rather than to win unfairly. Curlers never knowingly break a rule of the game, nor disrespect any of its traditions. Should they become aware that this has been done inadvertently, they will be the first to divulge the breach.

7 The Spirit of Curling While the main object of the game of curling is to determine the relative skill of the players, the spirit of curling demands good sportsmanship, kindly feeling and honourable conduct. This spirit should influence both the interpretation and the application of the rules of the game and also the conduct of all participants on and off the ice.

8 Role of the Umpire Assist teams - answer questions, provide information Ensure fair play between teams Be neutral and fair in decision making Intervene only to make corrections or if a rule is broken Perform measures

Remember "The Spirit of Curling" Honest act with integrity on and off the ice Competent be well prepared and up to date with rules and procedures Consistent be consistent in your interpretation of the rules Respectful for athletes, other umpires and officials, and also the rules that define and govern the sport of curling

10 Practically! Say hello to umpires when team arrive! Turn up on time for any meeting/information before your team's first game Encourage your team to be ready to play when it is their turn Question/clarification of rule- ask umpire, not team (during game) But what if not the team coach?
