CurlManitoba Rulebook - Manitoba Curling Association

CURLMANITOBA PROVINCIAL CHAMPIONSHIPS
PROVINCIAL GAME TIME OPERATION
1. All Provincial Championship games will use time clocks.
2. Timing will be thinking time. The game time allotted to each team to complete 10
end games shall be 40 minutes per team. The game time allotted to each team for 8
ends shall be 32 minutes per team.
3. Extra ends will be allotted 5 minutes.
4. The clock shall start once the house and playing area is turned over to the
opposition. The clock will continue to run until the player delivering the stone
crosses the delivery end T-line.
5. The time allotted between ends to clear the house shall be 1 minute commencing
once the last stone of the end comes to rest OR crosses the back line. If a measure
is required the umpire will stop the clock to be able to measure.
6. Each team will be allowed 2-one minute time outs per game excluding extra end(s).
Extra ends will be allotted 1-one minute time out per team.
7. During an end the team or coach whose clock is running may call a time out or the
team delivering first may call a time out between ends to commence at the
completion of the break between ends.
8. The umpire or CurlManitoba representative will determine the maximum amount of
time necessary for a coach to access their team. Two times will be determined, one
for the home end and one for the away end. The coaches will be notified of the set
time. The one minute time out will start immediately when a coach reaches their
team OR when the set time is completed.
