01
This competition is open to both men & ladies providing they are members
of a LIBA affiliated club. If a player is a member of more than one
club, the player may play for the club of his/her choice. This is a
"one off" competition so it will not affect the players status for playing
in the County Leagues & Competitions from their other registered club.
02
Each participating club will be represented by an even number of rinks of
four players. The number of rinks will be decided by the county
committee after taking into account the circumstances of each club.
03
For each rink that plays at home, another will play away. The away
rinks from each club will travel to different venues to be determined by
the county committee.

the shorter. A signal will be given at the end of 2 hr. 45 min.

The home rinks will cast the jack for the first end of each game.

After the first game, the home rinks will move up one rink and the away
rinks will move down one rink. Where only two rinks are being used at
a venue, the home rinks will change, but the visitors will play both games
on the same rink.
08
A maximum of one substitute, nominated prior to the start of the first
game, will be allowed in each rink for the second game. Players may change playing positions before the start of the second game.

and the opposition being awarded 10 points for each offending rink.

between games, a substitute shall be allowed in accordance with WIBC law
57(1). If no substitute is available, the number 2 position will be
left vacant.

All results shall be telephoned to a central point as soon as possible
after the conclusion of each session.

shall be the winner.

shots scored on average will be used. If the positions are still
equal then the clubs concerned will be declared joint winners.

venue, the points totals from the other venues shall be totalled & divided
by the number of rinks which actually played.
