No-Tick Rule
Following Curling Canada's lead, the Truro Curling Club will be adopting the World Curling Federation's No-Tick Shot rule for all events starting in the 2023-24 season.
The No-Tick Shot rule now being used for all Curling Canada events is as follows:
If, prior to the delivery of the sixth stone of an end, a delivered stone causes either directly or indirectly, an opposition stone in the Free Guard Zone (FGZ) which is touching the center line to be moved to an off-center line position or to a position outside the FGZ, the non-offending team has the option to:
(i) Remove the delivered stone from play, and replace all stones that were displaced to their positions prior to the violation taking place; or
(ii) Leave all stones where they came to rest.
If the stone is moved from the center line to an out-of-play position, then the FGZ rule applies.
This does not apply for Wheelchair Curling or for Mixed Doubles competitions.
