The inaugural Continental Cup of Curling, featuring six teams from North America playing six teams from Europe, in competition fashioned after the Ryder Cup of golf. 2002 CONTINENTAL CUP OF CURLING RULES/SCORING: Mixed doubles (36 points) Each captain chooses six teams consisting of a man and a woman to throw a total of five rocks each end and a man and a woman to sweep them. One throws the first and fifth rocks while the other tosses Nos. 2-4. Games are six ends. Team (72 points) Each of the 12 teams will play one game. One captain will choose a team for sheet A with the opposing captain deciding which of his teams match up best. The captains alternate selections on each sheets. Singles (32 points) Each captain picks six shooters for a sharp-shooting competition like the Ford Hot Shots event that kicks off the Canadian men's and women's championships. Skins (260 points) Eight-end games. Like the team format, captains will decide the team matchups. Points are awarded for a 'skin' (scoring at least two points with the hammer) or a steal (scoring one or more points without the hammer). Carry-overs occur when an end is blanked or if only a single point is scored by the team with the hammer.  TEAM WORLD (Captain - Kristian Soerum)  Women's Rinks:    Skip: Rhona Martin Elisabet Gustafson Luzia Ebnöther  Vice: Debbie Knox Katarina Nyberg Carmen Küng  Second: Fiona MacDonald Louise Marmont Tanya Frei  Lead: Janice Rankin Elisabeth Persson Nadia Röthlisberger  Men's Rinks:    Skip: Pål Trulsen Peja Lindholm Hammy McMillan  Vice: Lars Vågberg Tomas Nordin Norman Brown  Second: Flemming Davanger Magnus Swartling Hugh Aitken  Lead: Bent Ånund Ramsfjell Peter Narup Roger McIntyre  TEAM NORTH AMERICA (Captain - Rick Folk)  Women's Rinks:    Skip: Colleen Jones Kelley Law Patti Lank  Vice: Kim Kelly Julie Skinner Erika Brown  Second: Mary-Anne Waye Georgina Wheatcroft Erika Brown  Lead: Nancy Delahunt Diane Dezura Natalie Nicholson  Men's Rinks:    Skip: Randy Ferbey Kevin Martin Paul Pustovar  Vice: David Nedohin Don Walchuk Mike Fraboni  Second: Scott Pfeifer Carter Rycroft Geoff Goodland  Lead: Marcel Rocque Don Bartlett Richard Maskel  DRAW SHEET/RESULTS (201 points needed to win)  Date:  Draw:  ET: Teams: Standings:  Nov 7  1 Women's Teams  11:00 am R.
