Welcome to CVCC Saturday Mixed Curling!

Overview

• Draw times are at 2:00 pm, 4:00 pm, 6:15 pm and 8:15 pm

• Four (4) divisions based on skill level

• There will be three (3) round-robin schedules issued

• After each round-robin, teams are relegated based on record

• Teams will receive one week off (bye) per round-robin

• After the regular season, playoffs will be scheduled

• Curling at City View is a social sport, have fun!

Basic Rules

• All teams must alternate between the sexes in the throwing order

• Teams that have three (3) males and one (1) female must have their female player
  throw either third's (3rd) rocks or skip’s rocks

• Teams that are curling with three (3) players where two (2) of the players are male,
  the female curler must throw either third's (3rd) rocks or skip’s rocks

A coin-flip before the start of the game will decide who gets the hammer (last rock).  The team that wins the coin-flip typically chooses to have hammer while the loser then gets to choose which colour rocks their team will play with. In the event the winner wishes to choose colour instead, the loser receives hammer for the first end.

All games are a maximum of eight (8) ends long.  There are no extra ends played in case of a tie.

Scoring

Points are awarded as follows:

• 'A' division games:  6 points for a win, 3 points for a tie, 0 for a loss

• 'B' division games:  4 points for a win, 2 points for a tie, 0 for a loss

• 'C' division games:  2 points for a win, 1 point for a tie, 0 for a loss

• 'D' division games:  2 points for a win, 1 point for a tie, 0 for a loss

After each game, the third (3rd) from the winning team should immediately record the final score of the game on the provided score sheet. If the game is tied, both teams should record their own scores.

General etiquette

Before the game

• Shake hands with all opponents

• Offer “good curling” and introduce yourself (if necessary)

During the game

• Stop moving and be quiet when an opponent delivers a rock

• Be ready to throw your rock once an opponent's rock has stopped

• Do not rest hands or knees on the ice after delivering your rock

• Thirds decide the points scored once an end is completed

• A maximum of two players from each team behind the house at all times

After the game

• Shake hands with all opponents

• Check if it is your team's turn to sell 50/50 tickets

• Tradition is the winning team buys drinks for the losing team (i.e. Skip buys for other Skip, Third buys for other Third, etc.)

• Losing team traditionally reciprocates for the second round

Sparing and Defaults

PLEASE attempt to find your own spares if you are unable to play a scheduled game.  The Board of Directors has mandated that only registered club members can spare. A spares list will be maintained on both the club’s website and Saturday Mixed section of the bulletin board.

Spares cannot throw skip’s rocks. Spares can hold the broom and decide shots (i.e. call the game), but an original team member must always throw skip’s rocks (the last two stones).

If you are unable to find enough spares to play with the minimum three (3) players, you must contact your opponent and the committee at This e-mail address is being protected from spambots. You need JavaScript enabled to view it ASAP to see if alternate arrangements can be made in lieu of a default.  Otherwise, defaults are recorded as an 8-0 loss for the defaulting team.

Fundraising

A team will be responsible for selling 50/50 tickets to the other teams who curled during their timeslot. The 50/50 box (containing the 50/50 tickets) is kept behind the bar.  Please ask the bartender to get it for you. Cost per ticket is 50¢ with no maximums and no bulk discounts.

The team selling 50/50 tickets for the 8:15pm time slot also has the job to draw the winning ticket (in practice teams usually ask the bartender).  Place 50% of all the money, as there is no float, in an envelope within the 50/50 box indicating the amount, date and winner.  The other 50% goes to the winner.  If the winner is not present, write the amount, date and name on the chalkboard beside the bar, and place the winner’s envelope in the 50/50 box.  The money raised from 50/50 goes toward prizes and supplies throughout the year and end of season banquet.
