From which end of the green should the extra end be played if a knockout game is drawn?

The extra end in a knockout game is played from the end where the previous end was completed. This practice ensures continuity and fairness, as it allows the teams to play from the same end they were just using, taking into account any specific conditions such as wind and green speed that might influence their play.

Playing from the same end maintains the rhythm and flow of the game and allows players to adapt to the conditions they are already familiar with. The choice to play from this end avoids complications that might arise if teams had to switch ends, ensuring a level playing field for both competitors as they engage in the extra end to resolve a tied match.

Other options do not align with standard practices; establishing a new starting point or switching ends could introduce unnecessary variables that might disadvantage one team or alter the outcome based on elements unrelated to skill and strategy. Hence, playing from the end where the last completed end was played is the most appropriate and fair choice.
