League Schedules & Results

Evening league schedules & results can be found posted on bulletin boards at the CCC and in the League Schedules & Results Menu at the top of this page.

League Substitution Rules

There are 3 categories of spares:
● Rover: An individual that has a current Club rover membership.
● Member: An individual, Shareholder or otherwise, that is a registered participant on a current Club team but does not have a rover membership.
● *Non-Members: An individual with no current affiliation to the club or a Social Shareholder.

For the purposes of the Club’s substitution rules:

On a 4-person team:
● Lead is the player who delivers the first 2 stones of the end for a team
● Second is the person that delivers the 3rd and 4th stones of the end for a team
● Third is the person that delivers the 5th and 6th stones of the end for a team
● Fourth is the person who delivers the 7th and 8th stones of the end for a team

On a 3-person team:
● Lead is the person that delivers the first 3 stones of the end for a team
● Second is the person that delivers the 4th, 5th, and 6th stones of the end for a team
● Fourth is the person that delivers the 7th and 8th stone of the end for a team
● A Rover can play any position, however, they can only play Fourth when the team’s regular Fourth and Third are absent.

A Member can spare at Lead, Second, or Third only.

A *Non-Member can spare at Lead or Second only.

Note:
The player positions referred to in these rules pertain to the delivery rotation. They do not refer to who calls the game. There are no restrictions on who calls the game.

A team can use multiple spares even if the spares are of different categories, however, each spare must follow the position restrictions for their own category.

*Non-Members may spare up to 3 times for a team, in one season. After that, they must purchase a membership before playing in a 4th game.
Please consult the office about membership options.

CCC Mixed League:

The substitution rules listed above will apply, along with the following:

1. For mixed teams playing a game with only 3 players, alternating gender rules will be applied only to the last 2 players for the team. Back end must be comprised of one female and one male player.
2. For mixed teams playing a game with 4 players, alternating gender rules will be in force for the entire line-up.

For gender-specific leagues such as Monday/Wednesday night Men’s Leagues, only same gender substitutions are allowed.

Teams which fail to comply with the substitution rules as listed could forfeit any game in which an improper roster was used.

 Any disputes regarding substitution will be adjudicated by the Club Manager along with several Club Directors as nominated by the President, and their decision will be final.

If a team is present and ready to play on the draw date, and the opponents fail to appear within 30 minutes after the scheduled starting time, the game will be forfeited to the team present.

If a team is present and ready to play on the date drawn, and the opponents appear more that 10 minutes after the scheduled starting time, one point shall be awarded for every 10 minutes that the opposition is late. For each point awarded, one end shall be considered played. The team awarded the points shall have ‘last rock’ in the first end played.

Rovers will be contacted by skips using the list provided on the website, in the roster book or by the Club office. The office will amend the master list by additions and deletions as they occur. Rovers who desire a game and have not been called may contact the Club office. If a skip calls in, a rover will be slotted in for that team at the time desired. Rovers are reminded that they can get in a game almost any draw by being at the Club prior to the scheduled draw time.

Shares and Fees

Shares in the Calgary Curling Club carrying playing rights can be transferred through the Board of Directors. Shareholders who wish to dispose of their shares are requested to submit a disposal request in writing to the General Manager who will present the request to the Calgary Curling Club Share Committee.

Any shareholder not registered in a league in the current season is required to pay a mandatory $45 annual social due in order to maintain their shareholder status.

Any person or member may, at the discretion of the Board of Directors, be suspended for non-payment of dues or any other conduct not deemed by the Board to be in the best interest of the Club. The Board of Directors may, at their discretion, declare the playing share of any person or persons so suspended to be cancelled and the funds obtained from the sale of such shares may be used to pay any indebtedness of such person or persons to the Club, with the balance to be returned to the shareholder. Dues are to be paid at time of registration.
