Competition & rules
About the event
Oslo Cup will be played at Snarøya curling rink in Oslo and will host 13 men's teams. The tournament is played according to the World Curling Federation rules. Measurement will be done by 1 point measuerement.
The event starts Thursday mid-day around 12 and finishes with final Sunday around 2pm.
Practice & LSD
10 minutes before scheduled starting time there is 5 min practice per team where team first on the schedule plays first with red stones. Team that has had practice plays one LSD. First team chooses anti clockwise or clockwise rotation. Next team plays the opposite rotation.
This LSD is to decide hammer and later used if internal results isn’t enough to decide playoff-teams. The worst LSD is later removed from results.
If your LSD is on the button you will be as asked to play another draw without sweepers.
Practice and LSD will be announced.

Games will be played over 8 ends. If the game is tied after 8 ends, the winner will be decided by a draw to the button. The team that would have hammer will have the choice of drawing first or second. Both teams may choose the same side. No practice draws will be permitted.
