We've received some good feedback from members this season requesting helpful tips around etiquette, pace of play, shot calling, and more.
We recommend two standing resources you can always check out on our website:
- Our handy Member Handbook, which has lots of great info about our organization, rules of curling, ice prep guidelines, etiquette tips, and more! (this is a living document that we're continuing to update)
- Video tips with Jamie Sinclair. On our website you can find nearly two dozen short videos (2-5 minutes each) about curling covering delivery, strategy and shot calling, alignment, timing, and a lot more.
This week's tip: Knowing where to stand
When 40 people are on five sheets at a league game, it's important to be aware of where you are on the ice.
It's easy to accidentally be in the way of sweepers on another sheet, or in someone's line of sight between the hack and their skip. In addition, we want to make sure that the team throwing a rock can do so without the distraction of a lot of movement on their sheet.
The illustrations below share some common etiquette guidelines for where to stand and what to watch out for during games.
(You can find these figures and more in our Member Handbook's Appendix B: Curling Etiquette & Pace of Play Tips!)
