HAMMER

Round Robin;

The hammer is decided by Last Stone Draw.
At the conclusion of each team’s pre-game practice, two stones will be delivered to the tee at the home end by different players. The first stone with a clockwise rotation and the second with a counter-clockwise rotation. Sweeping is allowed.
 

The result is measured and will be compared to opponent’s result. Closest to the button will have the choice of throwing first or second stone in the first end. If the LSD totals for both teams are the same the individual LSD stones are compared and the best-unequal LSD has the choice of delivering first or second stone in the first end. When both teams have the exact same individual LSD stone distances, a coin toss will be used to determine that choice.
 

All stones finishing in the house are measured. To any result measured, the radius of 14.2 cm has to be added. This means that the distance for stones not in the house is 185.4 cm + 14.2 cm = 199.6 cm. Stones covering the tee will be measured from two locations (holes) at the edge of the 4ft circle. These two locations make a 90-degree angle with the center hole and are 0.61 m (2 feet) from the center hole.
 

Final;

The hammer is decided by the final ranking after Round Robin. The higher ranked team will have the hammer.
