Win = 2 points

Tie = 1 point (no extra ends)

Teams tied after the completion of the event will have their position in the standings decided as follows:

 

1^st - by head to head game results.  If three teams are tied, and if one team

        defeated both of the other two, they would be first.

 

2^nd - number of ends scored. A blank end counts as half an end for each team.

 

3^rd - total points scored
