Thursday Men's League

NO Tick Rule In Force - The "no-tick" rule states that, "A rock that is touching the center line in the Free Guard Zone cannot be removed off the CENTRE LINE until the "6TH STONE" of an end has been delivered. The no-tick rule applies to rocks touching the center line in the Free Guard Zone, preventing their removal off the center line before the sixth stone of an end. Violating this rule gives the non-offending team the option to leave the stones where they stopped or replace them to their original positions. The rule aims to make games less predictable and reduce the advantage held by the team with the hammer, giving the team without the hammer a better chance to score.

7-PM Draw: Whatever end you are playing when the ice shed clock strikes 830pm, you play that end and then one more.  

9-PM Draw: Whatever end you are playing when the ice shed clock strikes 1030pm, you play that end and then one more.  **Note: for this draw only, you do have the option to play the full duration at 9pm, but please make sure that is confirmed BEFORE the start of the game, and the discussion is between skips, if no discussion happens, game defaults to time rule). 

Please ensure you are respecting pace of play in sure to have a higher chance to get the 8-ends in.

Hello Gentlemen,

Round 3 draw is now posted, I have done my absolute best to get as many bye requests accommodated as I could for the round, unfortunately I fell short of that goal (frankly was impossible).  If you are unable to play your game, please make use of the spares list to find a replaement player should you need one.  As a last case scenario, please reach out to your opponents to arrange an alternate time to play your match.  If you choose that option, please reach out to Pierre for ice availability, and let me know when the alternate time will be.

Top 12 at the mid-point of the season, top 8 advance to the playoffs so a lot can still change.

Hope everyone has a Happy, Healthy, Holiday Season.

Thank you for your cooperation. If you have any questions, comments, concerns, please let me know.

Good Luck & Good Curling, see you on the ice!
