Qualifier and Championship |
Championship History |
The format to find the NZ Mixed Doubles champions has changed. Only teams that play in, and qualify from, this Qualifier tournament will be eligible to play in the NZ Championship.
The format for the Qualifier depends on the number of entries. Because 12 teams have entered, they will be split into two pools, and four will qualify for the NZMD Championship.
The NZ Mixed Doubles Championship will be held Friday 17 - Sunday 19 September. It will be a double round-robin with a best-of-five final (including RR games).

Format and Rules
- All games will be played under WCF rules.
- First practice will start at the scheduled game time.
- All games are eight ends, with a minimum of six ends to be played. An extra end will be played if games are tied at the end of eight.
- After the 4th end a four-minute break will be held.
- For the first games in each pool, a coin toss will be held to decide first practice. After the first draw, the teams named first have first practice.
- The first-named teams have dark (red) rocks.
- Each team will have a six-minute pre-game practice followed by LSDs where each person delivers a draw shot, one clockwise and one counter clockwise. The LSDs will determine hammer.
- At the completion of the round robin teams in each pool will be ranked for playoffs using rule C9.
- The top team from each pool qualifies for NZMD Championship.
- The second and third ranked teams in each pool will play a crossover best-of-three playoff series for the last two places in the NZMD Championship, i.e. 2nd Pool A vs 3rd Pool B, and 2nd Pool B vs 3rd Pool A.
- The marker stones will be rotated after every second draw: stones - 1 & 2 on first and second draws, 3 & 4 on third and fourth draws, 5 & 6 on fifth and sixth draws, 7 & 8 on seventh and eighth draws, 1 & 2 on ninth and tenth draws, and 3 & 4 in playoffs.
- The teams can practise with the remaining six stones and after their practice notify the umpires of the stone they wish to not use. During the games, teams can change the spare stone for one of their allotted stones after notifying an umpire.
