All teams play a full round robin within the group (4 or 5 games). The group arrangement and the draws have been made by the game master. Before the first round all teams have 1 minutes practice time and must play a Last Stone Draw (LSD) immediately after practice. The first named team starts practice with the blue stones. After each round a LSD has to be played too. The LSD is used to decide the right of the last stone for the following game. The measuring will be made by deputies of the organisation committee, according to WCF rules. The results of the LSD will be published. In the event of a tie in a game an extra end will be played. In the event of the score remaining tied after the extra end the following LSD decides the winner. Ranking after Round Robin The team ranking procedure will be done according to the WCF rules of play. If the ranking is not possible based on points and direct games the LSD results (DSC) call in. There will be NO Tie-Breaks. Rank 1 and 2 of each group qualify for the final round, all other teams drop out. Mode of Games Final Round The finalists play quarter-final, semi-final and final on Sunday. In the final round extra end(s) will be played to determine the winner. The quarter-final draw will be A1 vs. B2, C1 vs. D2, B1 vs. C2, D1 vs. A2. The right of the last stone in the quarter-final goes to the team which won the group.
