Game Duration and Timing

Time of Play

Despite what is shown on the Club Calendar, (virtually) none of our leagues play two hour games.

Allotted time by league type:

Game Timing 

for the 2025-2026 season, the time for a 4-Person game will remain at 2 hours and 15 minutes; however, no new end will begin after the 2-hour mark regardless of the score. Once the 2-hour mark has been reached, teams will complete the end they are in and not start an additional end. This rule will be in force whether or not there is another League/Draw following. The League Captain will determine with the cooperation of the Teams whether this rule will be enforced by ringing the cowbell or simply looking to the clock in the arena.

It is expected that this policy will ensure that games end according to the clubs’ schedules and the schedules posted for leagues.

For all non-4-Person leagues, the last end to be played will be the end that is in progress when 15 minutes remain in the allocated scheduled game time. This is as follows:

Stick and Sturling Games:             At the 60 minute mark

3-6-6 Games:                                At the 1 hour and 30 minute mark

Doubles:                                       At the 1 hour and 15 minute mark
