Novice League. 6-ends played.

This league is geared towards newer curlers, though some teams may have a blend of experienced & newer curlers to round off teams and to help people learn the sport.

Historically, 6-ends has been played, however this league is under consideration to be up to an 8-end league with strict time limits

Strict time limits would be as follows:

If teams complete the first 6 ends of their game by 9:30pm, or 90-minutes after the start of the game if the whole league experiences a delayed start, they may** play up to a full 8-end game.

If teams do NOT complete* the first 6 ends of their game by 9:30pm, or 90-minutes after the start of the game if the whole league experiences a delayed start, they may** only play up to 7-ends.

NOTES:

* Complete means the last rock of 6th end is in motion.

** It is not required that games are played through to 7-ends or 8-ends, or even fewer ends. As in any game, a losing team may concede at any time if the game becomes lopsided.
