If a team exceeded the allotted time, the game was stopped. Each team retained the points already earned in the game and the remaining points were forfeited to the non-violating team. • Each end was referred to as a skin. To count a skin when a team had last rock, it had to count at least two points. When a team didn’t have last rock, it had to steal at least one point to count a skin. • If a team scored only one point when it had last rock, it not only lost the hammer, but the end was carried over, which meant the points at stake were carried over to the next end. • If an end was blanked, a carryover took place and the team that blanked the end forfeited last rock to its opponent. • If the final end of a skins game resulted in a carryover, the two teams determined who would claim the carryover points by selecting a player from each team to deliver one rock to the button with sweeping. The team that had last rock in the last end shot first. • The mixed skins lineups had to include two players named to compete in the 20-point, two in the 30-point and four in the 55-point skins games.
