CurlManitoba Rulebook - Manitoba Curling Association

Skill-Based Ranking
1. The Skill based ranking shall be an accumulated number determined from the draw to
the button stones for hammer at the conclusion of the pre-game practice.
2. Both team‟s throws will be recorded at all times. If a team removes their stone prior to
measurement the maximum of 185 cms will be allotted to the team.
3. Each team member will be required to deliver a minimum of one (1) draw shot for last
stone advantage. Four different players must participate in the SBR; if a five man team
is declared only four players can participate.
4. In all Championship events, for the first game of an event, if there should be a tie for
last stone both teams shall throw another draw shot by a different player. The first draw
will be added to the accumulated SBR.
5. After the first draw the accumulated SBR will be posted and shall be used to determine
last stone in case of a tie.
6. The accumulated SBR (less the one worst of all attempts will be dropped) will be used
for all tie breaker games.
7. In the case of a tie in the Skill Based Ranking standings the teams tied will drop the
second worst attempt to determine the team‟s placement. If still tied drop the third
worst attempt and so on.
