2. The spare pool members must be eligible players from the Sport Region in which the
Provincial Championship is being hosted.
REPLACEMENT PLAYERS
1. Upon moving to another level, a team may be permitted to replace a player, should a
player be unable to play due to extenuating circumstances (injury, illness,
employment, coaching at another sanctioned event, etc.). A replacement player
becomes a permanent registered member of the team and may play any position.
The replacement player must meet all eligibility rules of the competition and must
have done so prior to the commencement of the competition in which the team
qualified. The replacement is required to purchase a CCA Competitor‟s Card.
CurlManitoba office must be advised in writing of any replacement. A team with a
replacement player must be comprised of at least 3 of the 4 (or 5) original players.
MIXED
1. Mixed Teams may name a Fifth & Sixth Player – one of each gender, for the
Provincial Championship. All Fifth & Sixth Players must purchase a CCA Competitor
Card prior to the beginning of the championship.
2. If a player in any berth bonspiel or provincial championship is unable to continue to
play due to illness or other extenuating circumstance, after the game commences,
the team may continue to play any end already commenced with three players. Any
stone yet to be thrown by the absent player in that end will be thrown by the
remaining player of the same gender. Upon completion of the end fifth/sixth or a
spare from the spare pool may be used. If for any reason a spare is not available,
the team may continue with three players. The first two players will each throw three
stones for the remainder of the game or until such time as a spare is available. The
throwing sequence must continue to alternate as to gender.
(i.e. if a female third is unable to continue the male second shall throw the first
three stones, the female lead shall throw the next three stones and the male skip
shall throw the final two stones.)
3. In all cases, a replacement shall be of the same gender as the absent player.
