Pre-Competition Practice<\/strong>
It is recommended that each participant be permitted a maximum of two practice shots or an open practice time \u2013 whichever best suits the club. An open practice of 10 minutes will be permitted at the provincial\/territorial finals.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Scoring<\/strong>
Each athlete will have five attempts at each shot. The score is cumulative. In all situations, if a score cannot be clearly determined, the decision shall be made in the favour of the participant (i.e. round up to the higher of the two scores.)<\/p>\n\n\n\n
