HEALTH MEASURES: There are currently no Covid-19 restrictions from the City of Richmond or BC PHO. Face masks are not required, but people should feel free to wear them based on comfort level.
50/50 DRAWS: There will be daily 50/50 draws (winning numbers will be posted). Don’t forget to claim your winnings!
RCC PARKING: We strongly recommend people to car pool. The Richmond Curling Club parking is very limited. The RCC parking will be free for the duration of the spiel (the lot will not be monitored by the city). If full, the nearby Richmond Olympic Oval has paid parking ($1/hr or $10/day). Visit http://richmondoval.ca/facility/hours-location/ for more info.
REGISTRATION PACKAGE: Teams can pick up their registration package at the Richmond Curling Club (dates and time TBA). Inside, teams will find programs, meal tickets (including extra orders—please make sure you have the correct number ordered right away), gifts and goodies.
DRAWS: Visit the Draw page.
SPARES: If you are unable to find your own eligible spare, please contact as soon as possible the Spare Convenor and he may be able to find you one. Please note: Spares must be approved, or provided, by the Bonspiel Committee. A team must have at least two original team players in order not to default. Spares must play lead (unless two spares are required, in which case the spares must play lead and second). Refer to the program or the posted notices for the complete rules and regulations.
MEALS: To deal with the crowds and to ensure everyone gets fed on time, please listen carefully to the announcements and allow those teams who must curl after the meals to eat first. There will be a lot of delicious food. No one will go hungry. After eating, please make room for others and move to another part of the facility.
EXTRA MEAL TICKETS: A limited number of extra Friday night bento ($22/ea.) and Saturday night banquet ($55/ea.) meal tickets are available for sale. (Please order on the Registration Form).
DRAW SCHEDULE: TBA. We will try to accommodate draw requests (there’s a Special Requests section at the bottom of the Registration Form) as best we can. We can also help teams find spares if needed.
Finals will be held at 2:00 pm on Sunday, March 23. All award presentations, etc., will be completed by 5:00 pm.
