Prov. Stick Curling Ch’ships start Tues. in Crapaud

Ferguson FH

The PEI Ferguson Logan Montague Funeral Home 2 Person Stick Curling Championships take place Feb. 9-11 2016 at the Crapaud Community Curling Club.  On Tuesday and Wednesday morning and afternoon the 12 teams in the Open division (any combination of men and women) will play a two pool single round robin, while the five teams in the Women’s division will play a one pool single round robin.

The playoffs go Thursday with the second and third place round robin teams in the Open pools crossing over to play the third and second place teams respectively, in the other pool at 10:45 am, with the winners taking on the 1st place teams at noon. The winners of the semis advance to the 2:30 pm finals.

In the Women’s section, the 2nd and 3rd place teams play in the noon semi, with the winner facing the first place team in the 2:30 pm final.

Last year’s Open winners were the Barry Craswell/Sterling Stratton duo from the Cornwall Curling Club, while the Cornwall twosome of Gloria Clarke and Ruth Stavert won the Women’s division. Both teams are back this year.

End by end results will be available at PEICurling.com/scoreboard and on the event website: PEICurling.com/stick20152016

The top four open division teams in the semis and the final, along with the top two women’s rinks from this year’s event earn the right to compete in the Maritime Stick Curling Championships, March 16-18 at the Cornwall Curling Club.

The top two Open division teams also earn the right to compete in the 2016 Canadian Open Stick Curling Championship, March 21-23 in Vernon BC. This is an “open entry” event, but reserves entries for the top two teams from each of BC, Alberta, Manitoba, Saskatchewan, Ontario, New Brunswick, Nova Scotia and PEI.

In stick curling there are two curlers per team, who deliver their rocks with delivery sticks, with each team member delivering from opposite ends. Sweeping is allowed only from the hog line to the back of the house at the playing end. Two curlers, one from each team, alternately deliver 6 stones each per end, while their teammate skips that end. The roles are then reversed, and the partners deliver the stones back. No stone may be removed from play until the fourth stone of each end. Games are six ends and take about an hour to play. For more information on stick curling, visit www.canadianstickcurling.ca.
