    LEAGUE SETUP
    • Teams will play a round-robin against the other teams in their division. Intention is to rotate individual teams start times each week.
    • At the start of the season, teams will be placed in divisions based on their point totals from the previous season. New teams or teams with 2+ new CVCC players will always start in the lowest division unless the league coordinator chooses to seed them in a higher division for competitive purposes.
    • At the end of each round, the top team in Divisions B, C and D will move up to A, B and C respectively and the bottom team from A, B and C will drop to B, C and D respectively. Standings are based on total points accumulated for that round. 
    • Wild card scenario: If at the end of the round, the bottom 2 teams in the higher division have fewer points than the top 2 teams of the immediate lower division, the 2 bottom teams from the higher division will be moved to the lower division and the top 2 teams of the lower division will be moved to the higher division.

    • If two or more teams are tied at the end of a round, the tie-breaking formula to determine promotion/relegation will be as follows:

    FUNDRAISING: 

    Fundraising efforts go towards the Friday Night Mixed year end banquet and other activities throughout the year. Please give generously.

    GENERAL ETIQUETTE: 

    Please remember to be respectful on the ice when curling. Touch brooms, offer "Good Curling" and introduce yourselves if necessary. During the game, stop moving and be quiet when the opponent is delivering his/her rocks. Please walk single file down the side of the ice and don’t block the thrower's view. Be in the hack and ready to throw your rock as soon as your opponent's rock has been released. Please ensure you give the opposing sweepers plenty of room when waiting for your team to throw your rocks. 

    Do not rest your hands or knees on the ice. Only the third and skip should be behind the house. The second and lead should stand at the hog line. At the end of each end, only the thirds should be in the house to decide the score at which point rocks may be removed. After the game, shake hands and offer "good game." The winning team offers to buy the losing team their drinks (skip for skip, third for third, etc.). Losing team please reciprocate. 

    No verbal abuse will be tolerated. Please treat ALL members (especially your spouses) with respect. 

    GEAR: 

    Shoes, sliders and grippers should be kept up-to-date. Some gear such as grippers show wear and tear after a while and can leave dirt on the ice which affects play (e.g. picks). There is a machine at the entrance to the ice where you can clean the bottom of your shoes each time you go out onto the ice. Each member should have their own broom, slider and/or stabilizer.
