Welcome to Friday Morning Open League!
The Friday Morning Open League is open to any combination of genders in mixed teams. Teams register at the beginning of the season and are slotted into flights/groups after a round robin competition in the first round.
Rules
Standard CCA rules of curling apply.
Please note the following:
- All games will be eight (8) ends.
- Five rock rule (Under the five-rock rule, teams are not permitted to eliminate their opponent’s rocks that are sitting in the free guard zone until five stones have been played in every end. Players can still hit the guards; they just aren’t allowed to knock them out of play. The Free Guard Zone is the area after the hog line, but before the house. )
- Hog line rule: Rocks must be clearly released before the near hog line.
- Play eight ends or until a team concedes
- Please play at a reasonable pace.
- No end is to start after 11:20am
Schedule
- The season is broken into 3 rounds of approximately 8 games each.
Number of Teams
- We can accommodate up to 56 curlers in each event. If there are 56 curlers, there will be 14 teams. In this case there would be 2 teams with byes each week.
- We will publish the names of curlers willing to spare.
Concussion Awareness
It does not take much to cause a fall on the ice. It is recommended that you wear some form of head protection.
The club has a number of options for sale. There are visors, toques, helmets, headbands and caps.
The Province of Ontario has implemented Rowan's Law to highlight the need for concussion awareness.
