Rules: all matches are played with six ends (time-limit: 81 minutes) and there are two points for a victory and one point for a draw.
Regarding the first four places after the round robin, if two or more teams have the same number of points, the direct confrontation is first taken into consideration (number of ends, points etc.). If this brings no result, a draw-shot challenge with two players from each team will take place.
Members of the public are invited to attend and support the teams throughout the weekend.
