The draw sent by the ARCM lists numbered teams. Coordinators in each club assign
their own teams to the various destinations.

 Games are full ten (10) ends.
 After 5 ends, players stack their brooms and take a short break to warm up.
 After the games, the host clubs offer hospitality in the form of snacks or a meal.

REMINDER
The general principle consists in half the teams (or less) playing in their own club, with the other
teams visiting other clubs. The draw attempts to respect this principle taking into account the
number of participating teams and the number of available sheets.
To be eligible to the official ranking, the participation requirement for the Grand Match is that each
club must register a minimum of 2 teams per sheet of the club (to a maximum of four sheets). For
the Grande Dame each club must register a minimum of 2 teams per club. For both competitions,
extra teams will be counted for bonus participation points. Teams from clubs who do not meet the
minimum requirements can of course play in either competition, but their club will not be ranked
for the category where the required minimum of teams is not met.
SCORING - For each participating club the final overall score takes the form of a percentage
and is calculated as follows. All the points played by each club in all of the games (points for and
against) are added. The same is done for all points won. In the case where a club has registered
more teams than the required minimum, a bonus point per extra team is added to the total points
won. The total of points won is then divided by the total number of points played in order to reach
a percentage of points won. The club with the highest percentage wins the competition. The
exercise is done separately for the Grand Match and the Grande Dame.
