3.  Games will start at 6pm.  Please arrive in time to start the game at 6pm.
4.  If a team is not ready to play within 15 minutes of the scheduled starting time, then the opposing team will be awarded 5 shots. If a team is not ready to play within 30 minutes of the scheduled starting time, then they will forfeit the game and the opposing team will be awarded 3 points and 10 shots.
5.   If a team cannot muster 3 players, then another club member can play, provided they are not a member of another team.  A team must have at least 2 of its members playing. The substitute cannot play as Skip.  A member who is not in a team can play for different teams on different evenings.  If a team still cannot muster 3 players, they will play as a pair, bowling 4 woods each and 25%(rounded up) of their score will be deducted.  The opposing lead and second will play 3 woods each and the skip 2 woods.  If a team cannot muster 2 players, they will forfeit the game and concede 3 points and 10 shots. 
6.  Games will consist of 14 ends.  If the Friday’s games are abandoned for any reason, the score will stand provided 7 ends have been completed in all matches.  If fewer than 7 ends have been played in any of the matches, Rule 12 will apply.
