2009 Chilliwack Men’s Bonspiel
Welcome to the 2009 Annual Chilliwack Men’s Bonspiel
with a special “Hello” to those teams from out of town. Thanks for your
support. Our Bonspiel Committee and CCC members hope you enjoy the weekend. Please
make note of the following Bonspiel rules.
1. C.C.A.
rules will apply unless otherwise stated.
2. Length:
All games will be 8 ends or until the bell – whichever comes first. The bell
will ring 1 hour and 45 minutes after the official start time and teams will
finish the end being played plus 1 additional end. There will be no bell for
the semi-final of final games.
3. Tie
games after the completion of 8 ends: Tie games will be decided
by playing an additional end(s) until a winner is determined. Please, for the
viewing audience, push the rocks to the far end and play back towards the
windows.
4. Teams
and substitutions:
a) One
substitution may be made at any time for injury, illness, or other special
circumstances. Additional substitutions may be made only with approval of the
Bonspiel Committee.
b) A
substitute shall not have curled at any time in the bonspiel for another team
unless taken from the pool of spares provided by the Bonspiel Committee.
Penalty: forfeiture of game(s) played using the illegal substitute.
c) The

replaced. Penalty: forfeiture of game(s) played using the illegal substitute.

must throw first.
b) For
each of the following full 5 minutes that the offending team is late, the
