Did you know?
There are simple things you can do to help the game move smoothly so that getting 8 ends in is easy. You can see our updated rules and etiquette on the website under Curling > Etiquette, Roles and Rules.
- The free guard zone is the area between the hog line and the house at the playing end of the rink. No rock in the free guard zone can be removed from play by an opposition rock until after the fourth rock is thrown. A rock that is knocked out of play by the opposing team will be returned to its original position and the hitting rock will be removed from play.
- The intent of sweeping is to keep the path of the stone clean and to take a stone farther. Therefore, sweeping shall not leave any debris in front of a moving stone and the final sweeping motion shall finish outside the path of the stone.
Club
- The ACC is a no-scent environment. Please be considerate of your fellow curlers who have a sensitivity to the chemicals in scented products.
- Don’t forget to check out the ACC-branded clothing on the On-Line Boutique! You’ll find new choices and our updated logo. Order by November 17 for delivery to the club before Christmas.
