Each of the six teams from each side will participate in the six singles matches (three women and three men).  The singles competition consists of six shots and each curler on each team must throw at least one of the shots but not more than two so that all 24 curlers from each side will participate.  All shots will be thrown with one curler holding the broom as a target, two sweepers and a thrower.

Points

The winner of each game earns four points.  Two points will be awarded to each side in the event of a tie.   A total of six singles games will be played, meaning the total points awarded will be 24.

Eight bonus points were awarded to the side with the highest aggregate score, meaning the greatest number of points from all the shots played by their side.

Total points available for singles was 32.

Rules

• Normal WCF sweeping rules apply to the throwing side but the opponent is not allowed to sweep behind the tee-line at any time.
• Order of the games to be played once the draw has been completed will be women first, then men.  That is, three women’s games will be played, followed by three men’s games.
• The team throwing red stones will have first stone at the start of the game.
• Once the first shot has been thrown, last stone will alternate from team to team and from shot to shot.  For example, the team who threw the Run Through shot first will throw the Draw to the Button second.
• The thrower can select the turn as desired for each shot, but each team must use three in-turns and three out-turns during the match.  Also, the Hit and Roll and the Double Takeout are designed to be thrown from the centre-line out.  Regardless of the turn chosen, this is the manner in which these shots must be played. 
• The shots will be played in the following order: Run Through, Draw the Button, Draw the Port, The Raise, Hit and Roll and Double Takeout.
• The officials on each sheet will place all the stationary stones before each shot.
• The players must throw all of the shots in each game played.
• Each team must declare the turn that will be used for each shot to the officials no later than 30 minutes prior to the start of each game and file a shot card with the chief umpire.  
• When each Singles game starts, each team must have six stones, one for each shot, at the throwing end.  Those six stones must be thrown in succession and each stone can only be thrown once.

Procedures for match-ups and determining last stone

1. The captain for Team North America will be asked to name his starting line-up for the game on sheet A.  The captain for Team Europe will then name his line-up for the game on sheet A.  The same procedure will take place for the games on sheets B and C.  However, on sheet B, the captain for Team Europe will first name his line-up followed by Team North America.  For the game on sheet C, it would again be the captain for Team North America who will be asked to name his team first.  The same procedure will be followed for the next set of three games, except this time the captain for Team Europe will name his team first.

2. It was previously determined that Team North America will throw red stones and deliver first in women’s and men’s games.
