Teams were divided into two leagues of six teams each, and played four ends against each other in a round robin tournament, each team playing five games.

Shirley West and Lynn Smith won league A, and after a count-back based on numbers of shots, Colin Summerhayes and Colin Downham won league B. In the final the ladies beat the men.
