Subs
Each team generally has 4, 5, or 6 regular team members (officially registered and paid) on its roster. Any of those regular team members may play in any game, and may play any position (lead, second, third, skip). Teams are allowed to play with three players; you are not required to use a sub and play with four. If you play with three players, the first and second players must throw three rocks each, and the skip must throw two rocks. The skip cannot throw three rocks.
Important: When you are missing a regular player and need to bring in someone from outside your official roster, think about the position that your missing player normally or most frequently plays. This will determine what position your sub can play (see below). This is an honor system, so please be fair to your opponents. Note that this does not apply in the playoffs.
For Regular League Games
- You may use a maximum of two subs in a game
- Minimum of two regular team members
- Your sub can play at or below the normal position of your missing player.
- Example: You are missing your normal third. Your sub may play third, second, or lead.
- Your sub can be another Frogtown member from another team, or they can be a non-member.
- Frogtown members are preferred, but feel free to share the Frogtown experience once in a while. Please limit your team to a maximum of two games with non-member sub per year.
For League Playoffs and Club Championships
- Any team member who is officially rostered and paid on your team (listed on this website as such) may play any position in any playoff game.
- You may use a maximum of one sub in a game; minimum of two regular team members.
- All subs must be Frogtown members.
- You can play with three players; you are not required to play with four.
- As above, with three players the 1st and 2nd must throw three rocks each, while the skip throws two.
- The skip cannot throw three rocks.
- Your sub must throw lead rocks
- i.e stones numbers 1 and 2 if you have four players, or numbers 1, 2, and 3 if you have three players.
- Whether you are playing with 3 or 4 players, if you have a sub, they must throw first.
- Your sub is allowed to hold the broom and call the game (i.e. as a skip would), but cannot throw last rocks.
- If you want to do this, your sub must first throw lead rocks, then move to the house to call the rest of the end.
