Starting the Game and General Rules:

A coin toss or a winner takes all Rock-paper-scissors game game will determine the team who starts the game.
If there are no rocks on the ice, a team may aim for the middle button. If the team is successful in scoring, the rock is removed and set aside to count as 20 points and the end of the round. (i.e: The team going first may go for the middle button, if they score, the other team may also attempt to go for the middle button)
Subsequent shots attempt to remove an opponent’s rocks from the playing surface, unless there are no rocks on the ice.
If you shoot and your rock fails to make contact with an opponent's rock it is removed from the game and no points are counted.
Play proceeds in a clockwise fashion, alternating teams and players.
Scoring occurs each round after all rocks have been played by tallying the total of your rocks on the ice plus any 20 point shots.
The team with the highest score wins the round. The team that wins the most rounds in the time allotted wins the overall match.
