Modified Stick Doubles Rules:
- As the name implies, all teams will consist of two players. Each team shall deliver five (5) stones per end. All rocks shall be delivered using a Delivery Stick or equivalent (i.e. a curling brush/broom with a rock handle gripping attachment). The player delivering the team’s first stone of the end must also deliver the team’s last stone of that end. The other team member shall deliver the team’s second, third and fourth stones for that end. The player delivering the first stone can change from end to end.
- Modified Free Guard Zone - No stone in play, including the “positioned” stones and those in the house, can be moved to an out-of-play position prior to the delivery of the fourth stone of an end (the fourth delivered stone is the first stone that can remove any stone from play). If there is a violation and without exception, the delivered stone shall be removed from play, and any displaced stone(s) shall be replaced to their original position by the non-offending team.
- Before the start of every end, one team shall place their team’s “positioned” stone at the playing end of the sheet in one of two positions, designated A and B. The opponent’s “positioned” stone shall then be placed in whichever position (A or B) remains vacant. The location of these positions shall be as follows:
- Position A: Placement so that the stone is bisected by the centre line and is at the mid-point between the hog line and the outermost edge of the top of the house (immediately behind the marker on the ice surface).
- Position B: The Position B stone is placed so that the stone is bisected by the centre line and is in the back of the 4-foot circle. The back edge of the stone is aligned with the back edge of the 4-foot circle.
- The team having the decision on the placement of the “positioned” stones shall be:
- Teams shall spin the wheel to determine which team has the decision in the first end.
- Following the first end, the team that did not score shall have the decision on the placement.
- If neither team scores in an end, the team that delivered the first stone in that end shall have the decision on placement in the next end.
- The team whose “positioned” stone is placed in Position A (in front of the house) shall deliver the first stone in that end, and the team whose “positioned” stone is placed in Position B (in the house) shall deliver the second stone in that end.
- Normal rules apply to sweeping except that a team cannot sweep their own rocks before they cross the hog line at the playing end. While a team is in the process of delivery, the non-delivering player of that team must be positioned inside the hog line and on the ice surface at the playing end of the sheet.
- If a player delivers a stone out of proper rotation, the delivered stone is removed from play and any displaced stones are returned to their original positions by the non-offending team. Should the infraction not be discovered until after the delivery of a subsequent stone, play continues as if the infraction had not occurred.

- Regular curling rules apply for 3 or 4 person teams.
- Doubles teams (2 players per team) follow the modified stick doubles rules (see below).
Modified Stick Doubles Rules:
- As the name implies, all teams will consist of two players. Each team shall deliver five (5) stones per end. All rocks shall be delivered using a Delivery Stick or equivalent (i.e. a curling brush/broom with a rock handle gripping attachment). The player delivering the team’s first stone of the end must also deliver the team’s last stone of that end. The other team member shall deliver the team’s second, third and fourth stones for that end. The player delivering the first stone can change from end to end.
- Modified Free Guard Zone - No stone in play, including the “positioned” stones and those in the house, can be moved to an out-of-play position prior to the delivery of the fourth stone of an end (the fourth delivered stone is the first stone that can remove any stone from play). If there is a violation and without exception, the delivered stone shall be removed from play, and any displaced stone(s) shall be replaced to their original position by the non-offending team.
- Before the start of every end, one team shall place their team’s “positioned” stone at the playing end of the sheet in one of two positions, designated A and B. The opponent’s “positioned” stone shall then be placed in whichever position (A or B) remains vacant. The location of these positions shall be as follows:
- Position A: Placement so that the stone is bisected by the centre line and is at the mid-point between the hog line and the outermost edge of the top of the house (immediately behind the marker on the ice surface).
- Position B: The Position B stone is placed so that the stone is bisected by the centre line and is in the back of the 4-foot circle. The back edge of the stone is aligned with the back edge of the 4-foot circle.
- The team having the decision on the placement of the “positioned” stones shall be:
- Teams shall spin the wheel to determine which team has the decision in the first end.
- Following the first end, the team that did not score shall have the decision on the placement.
- If neither team scores in an end, the team that delivered the first stone in that end shall have the decision on placement in the next end.
- The team whose “positioned” stone is placed in Position A (in front of the house) shall deliver the first stone in that end, and the team whose “positioned” stone is placed in Position B (in the house) shall deliver the second stone in that end.
- Normal rules apply to sweeping except that a team cannot sweep their own rocks before they cross the hog line at the playing end. While a team is in the process of delivery, the non-delivering player of that team must be positioned inside the hog line and on the ice surface at the playing end of the sheet.
- If a player delivers a stone out of proper rotation, the delivered stone is removed from play and any displaced stones are returned to their original positions by the non-offending team. Should the infraction not be discovered until after the delivery of a subsequent stone, play continues as if the infraction had not occurred.

Thursday Competitive Fixed (18:45 & 21:00) - Full Season
The Thursday evening open fixed league is one of our more competitive leagues. This league has multiple divisions. At the end of the year, the league has a "play off" to determine the league champions! Being a "fixed league", teams stay the same throughout all the Draws. At the end of each round, the bottom teams from the higher divisions drop a division, and the top teams from the lower divisions move up a division.
League Info:
- Thursday evenings @ 6:45 p.m. & 9:00 p.m.
Skill Level:
(Beginner 1 to Competitive 5)
- 4 to 5
League Format:
- Register as a team (5th player optional).
- Teams are fixed for the full year.
- 8-end games.
- Every player will contribute $25 towards prizes and food for a season-ending party.
- Trophy for league champs and cash prizes for top teams..
- Maximum 16 teams.
League Rules:
-
Five-rock free guard zone rule is in effect.
- Please be on the ice 10 minutes beforehand to take your practice slides and shake hands.
- It is advisable to be prepared to start the late games at 8:45 p.m.. There is a good chance that the ice will be ready early and therefore, if both teams are ready, the game can start early.
- Tie games are to be broken by a "draw to the button" with sweeping by the delivering team only.
- Record a Win (W), Loss (L), or Loss in a tie (Lt) for every game.
- Win (W) = 2 points;
- Loss in a tie (Lt) = 1 point;
- Loss (L) = 0 points.
- There will be 2 round-robin draws. Teams will be assigned a team number (identifier). This number does NOT reflect any standing. The goal is to ensure a fair distribution of early and late games.
- At the end of any draw, ties in the standings will be broken using the results of the head-to-head games of the teams that are tied. If that does not break the tie, then the results of a "draw to the button" will be used.
- If your team could finish in a tie, your team is responsible to perform a "draw-to-the-button", with sweeping. The distance from the pin to the rock is measured and recorded. If the rock covers the pin such that a measurement cannot be performed, a distance of ZERO is recorded.
- At the end of draw #1:
- the top 3 teams in "B" will move to "A" for draw #2; and
- the bottom 3 teams from "A" move to "B".
- The playoff ranking will be as follows, based on the standings at the end of draw #2:
- the top 6 teams of "A" will be ranked A1 thru A6;
- the top 3 teams of "B" will be ranked A7 thru A9;
- the bottom 3 teams of "A" will be ranked B1 thru B3; and
- the bottom 6 teams of "B" will be ranked B4 thru B9.
