Sunday Sinners Mixed Doubles League

When

The main curling draw starts at 10:30am, with Crokinole and lunch out to follow immediately.  Lunch out is optional. If there are enough teams for two curling draws, the second draw will start at 9:00am. There will be a Sunday Sinners and Saturday Saints league in the Fall and Spring sessions.

• If you are assigned ice, then arrive 15-30 minutes prior to the 9am draw time in order to help prepare the ice and so we can start on time.  Ice will only be done for the earliest draw.
• If you are assigned bar, then bar will only be for the late draw (or between the draws) due to ALE rules of not serving before 10am on Sunday.

Registration is open to members of the Charlotte Curling Association. Leagues are intended for adults (18 years or older). Curlers 14 years or older can curl in regular adult leagues with parental permission. Please contact the League Coordinator to discuss.
