NEW THIS YEAR - To try to keep curlers informed about their rankings through the season, we are going to implement a QR code system to record wins, losses and points scored. This will allow us to see the results of games without waiting for everyone to record at the end of each game. We will still use the draw sheet as a back up, but we do encourage everyone to use the QR codes. 

For those curlers with a bye on the first week, we do encourage you to come out to cheer the other teams on and participate in the Fall AGM. All curlers who stay for the Fall AGM will receive a drink ticket. The Fall AGM will begin once curling is finished on Tuesday Oct 6th. 

​Reminder - Sunday October 25th will be our Curling Clinic. We are looking for instructors and have reached out to Curling Alberta for some leads. If anyone has a connection that is affordable, please let us know.

Here is what everyone has been waiting for! Attached is the playoff schedule. 

There was a 3 way tie in the A division for 4th place. After reviewing wins and losses, all 3 teams had a 4 and 4 record. Teams are Skippy Longstocking, 50 Sheets of Gay and Temple of Broom. Temple of Broom and 50 Sheets of Gay did not play each other during this round. So to break the tie, we did calculate points scored for each team. 50 Sheets of Gay scored the most points in their games during this round. 

There was also a tie in B division for 1st place - Dix n Chicks and Flash my Hog. As both teams knew that this was a tie on Tuesday, after our games were done, we did a draw to the button. Dix n Chicks won the draw to the button, so they took 1st place in the round robin. 

On the playoff schedule, it is also noted what the prizes are for each game and place you end up. Good luck and Good Curling!
