The CCA Rules state: "If a stone(s), which may have affected the points scored in an end, is displaced prior to the skips or vice-skips deciding the score, the team causing the displacement shall forfeit the point(s) involved."<br /><br />However, this is a WCT Grand Slam. Not all CCA rules are adopted by the tour and, essentially, there are no officials involved on the ice. Teams officiate themselves. In any case, I agree it's a difficult position to put Tracy and her team in. In the Scotties, I believe an on ice official would have ruled but not necessarily, they still may have asked Fleury if she planned to measure. Can you imagine a baseball game played where the catcher calls the balls and strikes? A basketball game where players call their own fouls? Hockey players putting themselves in the penalty box?

Look again at the rule book and then take note that it's actually stated the offending team (Homan, via Courtney) were to concede the point and the non-offending team (Fleury) would not have had to make a decision. It would have been expected to give it to Team Fleury.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
