The time limit for each game is 45 minutes plus one end.

Players will be informed that the time limit has expired.

The players play an extra end if the score is tied after the additional end.

During this extra end, the jack cannot become dead (out of play).  If the jack leaves the defined playing area, it is returned to its original position.

The players will be ranked from 1 to 22 based upon the results of the qualifying rounds using:

  • Points +

If two players are still tied, the result of the match between the two players will be used to separate them if they have played each other in the qualifying round. Otherwise, the toss of a coin will be used.
