Mixed Doubles Thursday Afternoon, Draw 1

Thursday afternoons at 1:15 to 3pm and 3:15 to 5pm if two draws or 130 start if single draw.
Enter individually or as a team of two.
A total of 6 rocks for each team are used with 1 rock being placed and 5 rocks delivered.
One placed rock is positioned straddling the center line with its back edge at the back edge of the four-foot (Position A).
The opposition's placed rock goes on the Center Line midway between the rings and the Hog Line (position B) over square red marker.
At the start of each end one team chooses to place their rock either in Position A or B .
Then the Opposition rock is placed by the other team at the remaining vacant Position A or B.
Choice of rock position is won by a coin toss at the start and each end thereafter by the team losing the previous end.
After a blank end choice of rock placement changes to the other team.
The team with their rock in Position A (behind the pin hole) has Hammer.
Of a team's 5 delivered rocks one player throws the 1st and last rock while the other player throws the 2nd, 3rd and 4th rock.
Before each end, teams choose which player will throw the 1st and last rock.
The 5-Rock Free Guard Zone Rule applies but includes all rocks in play so no take-outs by the first three delivered rocks.
When any rock is illegally removed from play, it is returned to its position by the non-offending team and the offending delivered rock is removed from play.
Normal sweeping rules apply.
Games are 8 ends but, if tied after 8 ends and time permits, an extra end can be played toward the glass to break the tie.
A 'Powerplay' can be choosen in any end (except an extra end) by the team choosing first rock placement.
In a 'Powerplay' position A rock in front of and tangent to theTee Line at the outer edge of the 8-foot circle- on either side of the house.
The 'Powerplay' position B rock is a midway guard in direct line from the throwing hack to position A.
A team may choose the 'Powerplay' option only once in a game.
Standings are based on points for a Win, a Tie, and a Loss. Zero points for a default Loss. Score and Ends are both tracked but have no value except in breaking standing ties.
Tie breaking heirarchy is 1) head to head; if still tied 2) higher net score points (scores for less scores against); if still tied 3) higher net ends (ends won less ends lost);
