‘Curlers Care’ Bonspiels
1/5
FORMAT
FORMAT
Eight two-person teams are organized in a pool, and each pool plays a four-event system. All teams are guaranteed three one-hour games. Once all pool winners are declared they advance to a “Championship Draw-to-the-Button.” Both curlers from each team throw a shot to the button and both shots are scored. The team with the highest button-draw score is declared the champion.
(Of course, any competition format is acceptable. Fun and participation is the key. Rock On!)
Pools can be organized in a variety of ways
Each pool can have teams of:
• all inexperienced curlers; a great way to introduce new curlers to the game
• experienced curlers, seeded according to level of skill
• any combination of family members, from grandparents to grandchildren
• Air Cadets, CAF Members, Veterans or EMS workers
• representatives from companies, businesses, media, sport figures, different provinces or countries
The pool system allows for a fun atmosphere limited only by imagination and creativity.
