Saturday Morning Mixed Doubles
Mixed Doubles League Rules 2023-2024:
1. We have 7 teams registered, all mixed (see list below). We will have 2 draws each Saturday, that makes for having one bye team and one open sheet per week for makeups or practice. Use of the open sheet needs to be coordinated through me. If you want to move your game to one of the open sheets, please get the agreement of all the other players, and once having done that, notify me and I will update the calendar on Curling Club Manager.
2. We’ll follow the USCA Mixed Doubles Curling rules (attached for reference - R16 covers Mixed Doubles), with the exception of Subs (see # 4 below).
3. Different from last year, I am going to schedule only 2 rounds this year, and then a playoff bracket (as opposed to 3 rounds). This should allow us weekends off for major Holiday weeks and hopefully avoid the need for a lot of makeup games.
4. Rescheduling games and Subs: If a team cannot play their game per the schedule for whatever reason, please notify the other team. You should try and arrange rescheduling the game with the other team within a 2 week period utilizing the open “bye” sheet, but if that’s not possible, please arrange a Sub to complete the game as scheduled, or as a makeup game within the 2 week makeup period. DIFFERENT THAN LAST YEAR: We are going to allow open subs, i.e. it can be any gender and the Sub team does not need to be male-female. If the game can’t be played within a 2 week period of its scheduled date with either a sub(s) or a mutually agreed to makeup date (with an allowance for Holiday and Bonspiel weekends), the team that was short the player, forfeits the game. If both teams were short a player(s), both forfeit and the game will be scored as a tie. Please notify me about any makeup dates and I will update Curling Club Manager.
5. Per USCA Curling rules, games should start on time, played 8 ends, and finish in 90 minutes. Per USCA Curling rule R12.i, if a team is late, the other team receives a point for each 10 minutes the game is delayed up to 20 minutes/2points; thereafter the game is forfeited. The first draw should start at 9:00AM. DIFFERENT FROM LAST YEAR: In the first draw, a new end cannot begin after 10:15AM, and the same for 11:55AM for the second draw. This provides 15 minutes to complete the last end of the game, which should be more than sufficient. The first draw game should end promptly at 10:30AM, and the second draw game should begin promptly at 10:40AM (allows 10 minutes in between games for pebbling/nipping). The second draw game should end promptly at 12:10PM. Adhering to timely games ensures fairness and enjoyment for all. Note that only the wall clock time matters (assuming its’s correct - otherwise the teams need to reference some other correct time keeping device).
6. At the conclusion of the second draw each week, please pebble both sheets (but no nip) to help expedite the Juniors League that follows ours.
7. It is the responsibility of the winning team to record the game results on the Club website within 24 hours of game completion. League standings will be based on 3 points for win, 1 point each for a tie, 0 for loss.
