Men's Tuesday/Thursday Evening Leagues
There are 4 draws in the league during the season. Each draw lasts about 5 games. The regular season starts in October and ends late March. The playoffs begin after the regular season and end about the middle of April. There are usually 16 teams that go into the playoffs. The men's closing ceremony at the end of the season is very popular because both the Tuesday Night Men's Rated and Thursday Night Men's Divisional leagues combine for it. It starts off with the final games for both leagues followed by dinner and the awards presentations. There are many draws during the evening and everyone who comes will win a draw prize or door prize.
Social/Competitive League:
Tuesday Night Rated (New Night for 2020-21)
Game times alternate between 6:45 pm & 9:00 pm. This is an individual entry league (teams assigned by convenor). If you are unable to commit to every Tuesday evening, you may register as a spare (wanted).
At the end of each draw the teams are remade. There are usually 3-4 divisions in each draw depending on the number of players available. The teams with the most points in each division are qualified to go into the playoffs as a team. There are usually 16 teams that go into the playoffs. They are the qualified teams plus teams that have been put together based on individual points earned throughout the season. The Men's Rated trophy is called the Piddler because it has the original pebbler mounted on it that was used by Whitby Curling Club at its previous location decades ago. During the season each player is awarded the points their team earned in each draw. At the end of the season, the player with the most accumulated points is awarded the Glinz Memorial Trophy.
