All Championship games shall consist of ten ends, but if tied at that point, will continue with extra ends until a winner is declared. During the Round Robin portion of the Championships, the skip of a team facing what he considers to be an insurmountable lead, may concede victory to the opposing skip in compliance with the rules of the Curling Association. Minimum duration of a Play-off game will be determined and communicated to competing skips by the Chief Umpire at the Skip Meeting, prior to the commencement of the Championships.
