Open Inter-Club
The Friday Inter-Club League is an adult team entry league open to full members of our local curling community. Games alternate weekly between the Midland and Penetanguishine clubs with a start time of 1:30 PM. Team make up is completely open and can be any combination of mixed or same sex players with a team’s roster not limited to a player’s home club. The league provides an afternoon of good quality curling in a fun, social environment that offers the opportunity to form curling friendships with players outside your home club.
The season consists of a round robin series followed by a 4-week playoff ladder. All teams earn a spot in the playoff round with seedings set by won/loss records. Teams eliminated from the championship round fall back into a skins game pool.
In addition to a player’s home club registration fee a nominal team prize money fee is collected at the start of the season. Additionally, the league operates a mandatory weekly team 50/50 draw. 100% of prize monies and 50/50 contributions are used towards season ending playoff cash and skins games payouts.
When registrations exceed 10 teams a second draw is added with a start time of 11:00 AM. All teams are scheduled to rotate equally through both start times.
