Format of Play and Prizes
1. Games will be played under the CCA Rules of Curling for General Play. Open sparing will be allowed.
2. All games will be 8 ends, no bell. We would prefer if teams complete the 8 ends. However, if a team elects to concede earlier, the opposition will be awarded 1 end and 1 score point for each end not played.
3. After each game, thirds will complete the score card (including final score and ends won) and leave in the envelope provided.
The draw committee will record for each team:
Points – 2 for win, 1 for tie, 0 for loss
Ends – 1 for each end won, ½ for blank end
Score – points scored in the game
4. After each game, the draw committee will give each team one loonie for each end won and 50 cents for each blank end. (Final Game – one toonie for each end won)
5. Standings during the competition and after the final game will be determined by:
Team with the most points
If there is a tie, to break the tie we will add in ends won
If there is still a tie, we will add in points scored
6. Draw – The draw will be done for Game 3 based on standings after Game 2; for Game 4 based on standings after Game 3. Teams will play teams close to them in the standings. Teams will not play a team they have already played.
7. Prizes – Cash prizes will be awarded to Teams standing 1st to 4th at the conclusion of the bonspiel. Prizes will be presented in the lounge asap following the final draw.

by In Instruction, News


Marpole is excited to host this season’s first Beginner’s Clinic on September 17th, 2014 at 7:00 PM. This 2 hour clinic is designed for the  novice curler.  Coaches provide  a basic safety overview and introduction to the game with a focus on sliding, sweeping and scoring. If you have ever thought about giving curling a try, this would be an enjoyable opportunity to sample the sport and test your abilities. It’s harder than it looks and more fun than you thought! The cost is $25.00 with all equipment provided. Clean soled athletic shoes are required. We recommend comfortable and warm layered clothing to allow for stretching and adjusting to the temperature. To register please email Melinda at  melinda@marpolecurling.ca

Marpole Golf Tournament.

by In News, Special events

This year’s Annual Marpole Curling Club Golf Tournament held in June was a great success and a big thank you to Chairperson Darryl Pilkey and his committee of Ron Stedman, George Simpson and Becky Gibbons for putting on the fantastic event. Everybody had an amazing time and it was wonderful to see curlers get together outside of the club to keep the spirit going throughout the off season. Thank you to all of the sponsors including Gerry Waller and Waller Construction Ltd, Rod Rawson and A&F Printing, Able Auto Body, Peak Golf ,  Nuestro Day Spa and of course Country Meadows Golf Course.  Everyone is looking forward to the event again next year.
