p.s Last chance, to let Deb know if there is any interest in switching up teams for the 2nd half

How can I play 5 ends in 90mins?

These “unwritten laws” give a
curler a feeling of well-being, and help keep the game moving.
a.. Don't be LATE. Be ready to step on the ice and begin play at the scheduled time. If you are late you are holding up seven other people. Delays can be very annoying and upsetting to both your opponents and your own team. If you will be late or cannot play at all, be sure to advise your skip as soon as possible so he or she can take appropriate action.
b.. When you are the skip and your team is unable to start a game as scheduled, advise the convenor and the skip of the opposing team as soon as possible. Hard feelings can be created if one team shows up to play a game and the other team fails to show.
c.. Before the start of the game, greet each member of the other team with a hearty handshake, tell them your name and wish them "Good Curling"
d.. Once the game has started be sure to never disturb a curler in the hack. Keep your distance, be silent and motionless.
e.. Be ready to take your position in the hack as soon as your opponent has delivered their rock. Do not wait until their shot is finished. This helps speed up the game.
f.. Do not set up or position your opponent’s rocks during play. Always set up your skip’s rock while waiting for him or her to make their way from the other end when it is their turn.
g.. When the end is complete, the lead of the team that scored and is shooting first SHOULD NOT help clear rocks but should immediately get ready to deliver the first stone of the
next end.
h.. Do not walk, run or slide across the ice when a player is in the hack.
i.. Keep alert and pay attention to every shot by
both teams.
j.. Do not gather around the house or hack when a rival is preparing to shoot. Front end players should position themselves between the hog lines along the sidelines - remain
motionless & silent.
k.. A skip or vice standing behind the house should keep perfectly still and avoid doing anything that might disturb the concentration of the player in the hack.
l.. Be quick to compliment a good shot by either team. A curler should never pass an adverse remark about a poor shot or smile at an opponent’s misfortune.
m.. At the end of the game, win or lose, give each of your opponents a hearty handshake, thank them for the game
