Bonspiel Schedule	- Each Team will play 3 games.
	- The top 8 teams (highest money winners) from this portion of the spiel will compete in a Grand Finale round on Sunday afternoon.
	- If there is a tie after the first 3 rounds, the tie breaker format will be used to determine which teams move on to the Grand Finale.
SKINS Format	- All games are 8 ends
	- Each End will be assigned a "Skin" or dollar value
	- Hammer in the first end is to be determined by a coin toss.
	- In order for the Skin to be won, the team with the hammer must score 2 points or the team without the hammer must steal 1 point.
	- If neither team wins a Skin, the dollar value is "Carried Over" (added to the value of the following end). When there is a Carry Over, hammer is given to the opposite team (i.e. The team that had last rock, must now shoot first).
	- If the Skin is won, the hammer will go to the team which has lost the skin.
TIE BREAKERS	In the event of a Carry Over on the eighth end, or a tie with the dollar amount, the following format will be used:
	Each team member will throw One (1) rock with sweepers, drawing to the button. Teams will alternate, starting with the lead on the team without hammer.
