Congratulations to all teams that have advanced to the Semi Finals - We have officially made it to the last week of the season!

Firstly, there has been a change to our post-finals awards: All the winners will be re-announced and prize money handed out during the May 1st DV Curling Season Celebration (7PM - 9PM). If you are unable to attend, don't worry, Rob will ensure that all earned prize money will find its way to you! That said, I still encourage everyone who is not playing in the finals to come out, grab a drink, and support your fellow curlers.

Secondly, just some reminders for our last week of games:

• No Timeclocks
• Ties are broken by a full extra end towards the glass (if, for some reason, the extra end is blanked, then the game will be determined by skip rocks)
• Spares are allowed but they must play front end (if you have 4 players) or lead (if you have 3 players)

I've had a few questions about this so I thought I'd send out an email: All scheduled games are ON for tonight. Weather in Hamilton and Dundas is wet but not frozen so give yourself extra time.

We do have ice available tomorrow at 8:45PM (first come first serve) if you do not feel comfortable playing your games tonight. Please contact the other team ASAP if this is the case.

Thanks everyone!

Congratulations to our 2024-25 Regular Season Champions: Team K. Blonski! They finished the season with 161 points, a 15-5 record, and 3 Series wins.

WIth that said, it's time for the playoffs! As always, please take a quick look at the playoff rules as they do differ from the regular season. 

We do have one trial rule change (not listed on the site) this season, and one E Flight format adjustment: 

• Trial Rule - Time Clocks
  • Playoff Pool games will be set to 2hrs (up from 1:55). Tie games will be broken with skips rocks (then vice, second, and lead if required). 
  • Semifinal and Final games will have no time limit and ties are broken with a full extra end toward the glass.
• Format Note - Since E Flight playoffs only have a single pool there will be no Semifinal games, with the top two teams moving directly to the Finals.

The schedule is now posted - if you snuck a glance before this email, make sure to double check as there were some last minute tweaks. As always, you'll be able to view the full playoff brackets  and the classic schedule.

The Full Playoff Schedule is:

Round Robin 1: March 26-27

Round Robin 2: April 2-3

Round Robin 3: April 9-10

Semi Finals: Wednesday, April 16th

Finals: Thursday, April 17th

I encourage everyone to come and support the teams in the finals! All prizes will be distributed on the night of the finals. As is tradition at this point, at least one member of your team must be there in person to collect any prize money, otherwise it'll be donated to Rob to buy another gadget for the ice rink.

Finally, May 1st will be the club-wide end of the year Ice Shed party! More information will come from the club in the next day or two.

Good luck and good curling to everyone in the playoffs!
