Open Triples League

Triples Curling is NEW to the Ponoka Curling Club and we are happy to play along side you in this new format!

It’s the rockin’ game’s iteration of the moment, Curling 3.0 if you will, tailor-made for fast-paced fun and physically distant safety in a COVID-19 pandemic environment.

In a typical six-end game of triples, everybody gets to call the shots, deliver the goods and sweep like crazy. Each member of a team will rotate through the three positions, playing two ends as lead, middle and skip. It’s a new-age democracy on ice. Every player also delivers two rocks per end, so the action is fast – and most games will wrap up in two hours or less.

It’s competitive too. Scores are doubled in the fifth and sixth ends, so no game should be too far out of reach for long. We don’t want anybody shaking hands after four ends. In fact, we don’t want anybody shaking hands at all.

And since only one person can sweep a delivered rock, according to the new rules from Curling Canada, triples curling is the perfect game for such a changed sporting landscape. One player delivers the rock, one player sweeps the rock and one player holds the broom and calls the line from the house.

Nobody will be left standing around, trying to look important as the stone glides onto the button.

 

This league is open to any member who wishes to play in a league with a social atmosphere. Get a few friends together and sign up for this fun and social league – it will be a great night out! This runs Thursday evenings.
