Curling will begin
earlier this year with
the Friday Open League draw
Fri., Sept. 28th.
Evening curling leagues run as follows:
Monday night Men’s, Tuesday night Ladies, Wednesday and
Thursday nights are two separate Mixed leagues, and the
Friday Open League. In our MIXED LEAGUES; teams must
consist of two male players and two female players in
alternating positions. In our OPEN LEAGUE; teams may
consist of 4 men or 4 women or any combination of men or
women. Your Coordinator will contact you as to whether you
will start with a 6:45 game or a 9:00 p.m. game. There is a
possibility of a Sunday evening league if numbers warrant
this. Let us know on Energize night or call one of the
executive board members.
·
Everyone is welcome to
Curl Thursday mornings at 10:00 a.m. with the
Chestermere Whitecappers there is no charge for CCC members
since they would have a Chestermere Community Membership and
a nominal charge for those without. This is a drop-in format
picking new teams each week.
·
The Junior Curling
League will start on Jan. 6th with a free
curling clinic for instruction and will run Sunday
afternoons with ice times 2:30 till 5:30 pm. Kids aged 7yrs
through 16 years welcome, no previous experience necessary.
There will be instruction and game time for each of the
levels of play. There will be a sign up sheet at Energize
Night and preference will be given to players returning from
last year should we fill up. Contact Marla (248-9438) for
more information.
·
We would like to stress
that the first rock should be thrown at
6:45 p.m. to ensure an 8 end game can be played. All players must adhere to the
buzzer rule, where you may finish the end you are on and
only one more end after the buzzer has gone, this is the
only way we can ensure the NIPPER can be run for the
late draw. Your Chestermere Curling Club Board has requested
that we NIP the late draw, so members are asked to stay out
of the ice area until all sheets are prepared even if this
pushes the late draw start time to
9:15 p.m.
·
Playoffs:
The Monday Men’s playoffs will be in a bonspiel
format concluding on Mon. March 17th, 2008. The
Ladies, Wednesday and Thursday Mixed, and the Friday Open
League playoffs will be held on the last 3 consecutive
regular league play nights in March 2008.
