Following the conclusion of Qualifier Night last week, the A and B pool teams have now been determined for round one, sponsored by Lowther’s Snow Removal. Here are the teams:
A Pool:
A1-Gord Peters, A2-Joe Callaghan, A3-Donald DeWolfe, A4-Ray Biagé, A5-Lauren Ferguson
B Pool:
B1-Kelly Watts, B2-Rob Gallant, B3-Angus Kennedy, B4-Greg Groves, B5-Rachel MacLean
Each round will have five weeks, with teams playing each of the other teams in their pool, plus a “crossover” game against the team in the same slot in the other pool. At the end of the round, the two teams at the bottom of the A pool, and the two at the top of the B pool will swap places.
Teams will be awarded three points for a win, 1 for a loss, and 0 for a default each week. Scores will also be recorded, in case tiebreaking is needed.
Here is the Round One draw. All crossover games will take place at 6:30, so please be aware that, regardless of which pool you are in, you play at 6:30 if you are in a crossover game. We will use sheets 1-3 each week, with only 2 of the 3 sheets needed at 8:30. With the exception of the crossover game, we alternate between A and B pools starting at 6:30.

Rules (credit: some come from the Ottawa Curling Club’s Ladder League)
- Open semi-competitive league. Any player can play any position, and you can change from game to game.
- 3 game points for a win, 1 game point for a loss, 0 game points for a loss by default. Mark this and your team’s points scored (“score points”) on the scoresheet. In the case of a default, award one score point per end to the winning team. In the case of a tie, award an additional score point for the draw to the button winner. If your score is not marked and you win, you will get one score point more than the losing team. If you lose, you will receive zero score points.
- In the event of a default, the non-defaulting team will receive one score point for each scheduled end.
- To break ties at the end of the round between teams with the same record, the tied teams are ranked by applying the following rules in order until one tie is broken. If a one or more ties remain, the rules are applied to each tie starting from rule 1. The process continues until all ties are broken and all teams are ranked.
- The teams are ranked using their head-to-head record against the other teams in the tie.
- The teams are ranked using the point differential for their games in the round against the other teams in the tie.
- The teams are ranked using the point differential for all the games in the round against all teams.
- The teams are ranked using their initial ranking in the round.
- Ties: Decided by skip’s rocks with sweeping (by your team only).
- Avoiding defaults/using spares: At least one regular team member (and three players in total) must be present for the game to count, or else a default is posted. Spares should not play a higher position than the player replaced.
- Storms: Any games cancelled due to storms, etc. will NOT be played, unless advised otherwise. All subsequent weeks will remain where they were, and any draws missed will be added to the end of the round, if there are enough spare weeks in the season to play them, or cancelled. Any changes to this will be posted on CornwallCurling.com.
- Teams may reschedule games to a different date and /or time by mutual consent. but ice time is often hard to find.
- The buzzer will be used to ensure the teams are off the ice within the 2-hour time period. If the buzzer sounds, teams will complete the current end in play to finish the game. If tied, the standard draw to the button will then take place.
