Week-Night League
There are several categories of weekday leagues available to
curlers; rental leagues (see Curling Options) and prime time evening (aka square
draw or evening leagues). Evening curling leagues are administered by the Club itself and are available to the
general public as well as our members. New team entry starts August 1st (on a
wait-list) with existing teams having to commit by early September. Weeknight leagues typically
begin in the 3rd week of September.

application. Probably our strongest league.

Friday
Open
|
Most teams are composeed of couples out for a night of curling; although other
combinations of gender exist. Likely the best league in which to begin curling. |
Evening leagues run each night Monday through Friday; with
alternating times of 6:50 pm and 9:00 pm. Leagues are designated as Men’s, Women’s, and Open. The leagues have
been assessed as shown to assist in you finding the best choice for your curling experience. Entry is by teams
although we will try to alert individuals to possible spots on a team. Should a team not be found, joining the
Spares List is a good option and one which may eventually lead
to joining a team. When entering as a new team, it is best to provide a first and second choice of
nights.
With the exception of Wednesday, each league consists of 24 teams
divided into four sections (thus each section has six teams). Each section plays five games and then two move
up and down depending upon the points earned. There are four go-rounds in regular play (ie, 20 games) which
normally conclude during the first week of March. As for Wednesday, we have a 12 team Womens'
league and a Fifty-plus league alternating between the early & late times.
Following regular season play are several categories of Club
Playoffs. For the competitive there are six categories which lead to the Calgary & Area
Championships in early April. All of these have space limitations based
upon previous season's participation. There is also a "Players'
Event" open to all teams (space permitting) who are not in the any of the others. It doesn't lead anywhere;
but its fun! More detail will be provided as we go forward.
