Friday Stick (Scurling) Curling


Stick Curling now called Scurling is held on Friday mornings.  Teams are comprised of 2 players each.  A game takes approximately 1 hour after which new teams are drawn and a second game is played.  The rules followed are those of 'Scurling' and the 3 rock free guard zone extends from the hog line to the back line.  

The two person concept is played with two players per team with no sweeping between hog lines and each stone is delivered with a curling stick from a standing position. This provides equity for those physically unable to attain the sliding position most commonly used in curling. One member of each team stays at each end of the rink and must not cross center ice. There is no sweeping between hog lines. This reduces movement up and down the ice, and increases the pace of the game. It also means responsibilities are equally shared by the two team members and provides variety for each player.

The two throwing curlers alternately deliver 6 stones each end, while the teammate skips that end. Each player is always occupied doing something. Then roles are reversed and the partners throw the stones back. Eighteen stones per player per game. All games are 6 ends and are expected to take approximately one hour. No stone in the Free Guard Zone may be removed from play prior to delivery of the 4th stone. All stones must be released before reaching the hog line and from within 2 feet of the centre line. Other rules and etiquette of regular curling apply.
I hope this will help in your development of a spot on the web page.
