Summer Leagues
Tricorne League (Friday Night - Worcester)
The Tricorne League was originally designed to adhere to our COvID-19 protocols, however we have decided to make this a staple of our summer offerings. The format for this league is Triples Curling. As its name suggests, curlers compete in teams of 3, and all ends consist of 6 rocks thrown per team, with each player throwing 2 rocks. Each game consists of 3 ‘Sets’ of 2-End mini-games, with each team playing with the hammer for one of these ends and without the hammer for the other. The team scoring the most points after these 2 ends wins that Set. However, if the score is tied at the completion of the set of a Set, it becomes a ‘Split Set’. One of the unique features of the Triples format is that curlers play each of the 3 positions (i.e., Lead, Middle, and Skip) for one Set of the game.
*Once the schedule has been completed for the Boston Sports Institute (Wellesley), we will post information on the leagues at that location.
