 <\/p>\n

On January 20th, 2024, the 3rd Annual Doubles Curling Funspiel was held at the Michipicoten Memorial Community Centre. 16 teams were registered with the first Draw at Noon and the second Draw at 1:15.<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

You may have seen Mixed Doubles Curling on television.\u00a0 The game has become very popular due to the speed of the game and the skills required. Mixed Double Bonspiels are common and recently became a sport in the Winter Olympics.<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

In Wawa, we play a game similar to the one mentioned, but the rules are a bit different to better fit in with our skill levels and the rules have been simplified to meet our needs.<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

However, the fun and enthusiasm remain the same.\u00a0 The first group of games began at Noon and the second group at 1:15. that. Our Funspiel games are six (6) ends and take about an hour to play.\u00a0 So, the games play quickly and often.\u00a0 This year\u2019s format was simplified so all teams played (2) games before supper and a third game after supper.\u00a0 Pat Harron catered a Beef Stew supper at 5:00 pm \u2013 thanks for another great meal.\u00a0 Play started again at 6:00 pm with games concluding at 8:30 pm.\u00a0 There were no prizes for the winners other than bragging rights \u2013 so our \u201cstars\u201d were:<\/p>\n\n\n\n\n\n
First Overall<\/strong><\/td>\nSecond Overall<\/strong><\/td>\nThird Overall<\/strong><\/td>\nScoring System:<\/u><\/strong><\/p>\n

Win = (3) Points Tie = (2) Points & (1) for Participating<\/strong><\/p>\n

Plus (1) Point for each end Won<\/strong><\/td>\n<\/tr>\n

The Funspiel was a great success.\u00a0 Special thank you to ALL who participated and made the day so much fun.\u00a0 The 2024 \u201cRules\u201d seem to help players but there were still a few questions \u2013 main rule is to enjoy the game.<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

Thanks go out to Doris and Julie our fantastic refreshment servers who remember everyone\u2019s choice.\u00a0 Thank you to the MMCC staff for setting up the ice for the Funspiel.\u00a0 Thank you, organizers Jim Hoffmann and Andy Stevens. Also, thank you to the MMCC staff, and the Wawa Curling Leagues for their support.<\/p>\n

A three (3) Person Curling Funspiel is in the planning stage for February 24th<\/sup> \u2013 16 Teams Maximum. Similar to the Doubles but a third player is added. Games are 90 minutes long (6 ends) and is a one-day event starting around 11:00 am.<\/p>\n
