Welcome to another season of the Wednesday Evening Ladder League!
We’ve got a full complement of 16 teams, with no byes.
Here is the Round One schedule following Qualifier Night on Oct. 22, where each team played another team chosen at random, with the winning team going into the A pool and the loser going to B. The B pool got the early draw for Week 1 as they had the late draw in the last week last season.

RULES: This is an open, semi-competitive team entry league. Eight end games, with any combination of male and/or female players permitted. To keep this league on a less competitive level than the Tuesday night league, no more than two players on one Wednesday night team may be members of the same Tuesday night competitive league team. This rule will also apply if spares are needed. If you call up a spare from your Tuesday team, they should be replacing another team member that plays on Tuesday night, so that there are no more than two Tuesday night players on the ice.
No ties: Skips will draw to the button (with sweeping) to resolve individual game ties. Only the throwing team may sweep the rock — the opposing team may not sweep behind the tee.
League Points will be awarded as follows:
3 points will be awarded for a win, 1 point for a loss, 0 points for a loss by default. Scores will be kept as well, to be used only in end-of-round tie resolution. In the event of a default, the non-defaulting team will receive a score of one point for each scheduled end.
At least one regular team member and at least three players in total must be present to avoid a default. Team members can play any position and can change from game to game. When teams are tied in points after a round, the win/loss record of those teams against each other shall be used to determine their ranking (provided that the two teams faced each other in the round). When the ranking of teams cannot be determined by comparing round win/loss records against the teams involved in the tie, the ranking shall be determined by the score differentials of the teams who are tied. If they are still tied, the full score differentials of the teams who are tied will be used.
In the event of a cancellation, the cancelled week will not be played. All subsequent weeks will remain where they were. Any changes will be posted on CornwallCurling.com.
Ladder format: At the end of each round, the bottom three teams from the A pool will descend the ladder to Pool B, while the top three teams from B will climb the ladder to A. The winners of both the A and B pools from each round will receive a prize at season end, courtesy of our generous sponsors.
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.
