• 1 sweeper per rock.
• The bar will open after the first end starts.
• No ‘post game’ drinks at this time.
• At this time no spectators will be permitted.

Off Ice

• All members will have to check in at the main stadium entrance before entering
  the facility therefore the back entrance will be staff use only.
• When entering the club please use the hand sanitizer that’s been made available
  and follow the signs and guides that have been put in place on the floor to find
  where to line up prior to the start of your draw. The listed Home team will line
  up before play in the lounge area behind the glass and the Visitor team will line
  up in the ice shed along the glass.
  ex. Toner(V) vs. Boudreau(H). Team Toner would line up in the ice shed and
  Team Boudreau would line up in the lounge area along the glass.
• All locker rooms will be closed until further notice, please come ready to play, curling shoes in hand. Washrooms will remain open.
• Please arrive no earlier than 15 minutes prior to the start of your draw time. Draw times will remain the same as last year but are subject to change.
• The bar will remain closed until the start of the first end. Please have no more than 6 people lined up for drinks at one time.
• Back door entrance will be Staff use only until further notice.
• At this time there will be no post game drinks and members will be asked to leave the facility immediately after their game is finished.

On Ice

• Teams playing on sheet A, C, E will start the game at the home end and teams
  playing on B, D, F will start their games on the away ends.
• Hammer will be chosen at random by the club manager prior to play.
• One person from each team will sanitize the rocks prior to play and again at the
  end of each game.
• Please choose only 1 player from the sheet to handle the scoring and please
  wipe down the numbers you’ve used after the game. All numbers will be
  sanitized each day.
• All games will be reduced from 8 ends to 6 ends of play and have a buzzer timer
  of 1 hour 30 mins. This means when the buzzer goes you will finish the end you’re
  in and stop play. You will no longer finish the end you’re in and play one more.
  *This year no extra end will be played nor will there be a draw to the button to
  determine and winner. This year we will have wins(2pts), losses(0pts) and
  ties(1pt).
• For the time being club brooms, stabilizers, grippers and sliders will be
  unavailable for general use.
• Club equipment will still be provided for the learn to curl sessions and will be
  sanitized prior to use and at the end of use.
• Instead of a hand shake, give a friendly wave or tap brooms to start the game
• Players stay on the same side of the sheet. For example, if you are playing on
  sheet B, always walk or position yourself on the sideline to sheet A. This will
  keep players 10 feet apart.
• One sweeper only on all delivered stones. No relaying (second sweeper taking
  over halfway down the sheet). The person in charge of the house is not allowed to sweep under any circumstance. The skip of the non-delivering must remain in the hack area until all stones come to rest. They are not allowed to sweep the
  opposition stone behind the tee-line. Lessening of physical distancing restrictions would/could allow this guideline to be removed.
• The skip or vice skip (not both) of the non-delivering team must stand at the
  hack until the other team is finished playing and has relinquished control of the
  house.
• The skip or vice skip (both teams) may not sweep any stones (both colours) set
  in motion by the delivering team.
• Non-Delivering Team: The two sweepers of the non-delivering team should be
  positioned on these markings while the other team is throwing. The player of
  the non-delivering team whose turn it is next to deliver should be positioned at
  the hog line on the same side as the two sweepers. The Skip (or Vice-Skip) will
  stand on the backboards but no closer than the hack.
• Delivering Team: The skip has control of the house. The player whose turn it is
  to deliver is in the hack. The non-sweeping player is on the backboards. The
  sweeping player is at the T-Line. Once the stone has been released, the player
  who delivered the stone proceeds down the centre line of the ice until the
  halfway point to the marking or to the hog line if it is their turn next. After the
  stone comes to rest, the sweeper proceeds to the halfway markings. The
  non-sweeper travels to the halfway mark or the hog line depending on their turn
  to deliver or not.
