Spares:

• Use the spares list first although "anytime" members may substitute in any regular games.
• Spares should play their normal club position.
• Notify your skip if unable to play and supply the name of the spare.
• In keeping with the "Fun & Fellowship" rule, only one member of a team must be present for a regular series game.

Playoffs:

• The team with the best score record of Draw 1 and and the team with the best score record of Draw 2 will be declared the section (Fall/Spring) winners.
• The tiebreaker rule in the event two or more teams tie:

1. Team with the best win/loss record
2. Team with the most wins
3. Winner of the head/head game (if the teams played each other)
4. Cutting a deck of cards - highest card wins

• These two teams will play on the final scheduled date for the coveted league championship.
