Curl Berkshires League 2026-2027 Season is here!

Curl Berkshires League Nights

Thank you to all who participated in this years Curl Berkshires League! Keep an eye out in the off season for information about next year!

Our early home curling dates this season include two Wednesday evenings. To spur interest and encourage everyone to get out on the ice, we thought we'd combine these Wednesday dates with a couple of Saturday dates from later in the season to form a "league" (see schedule below). We're introducing a fun format for our league, and we hope you'll join us. You are not obligated to attend all four dates, and there is no cost beyond the usual sign-up fee for each date. All we need from you is a "thumbs up" that you'd like to participate, which you can do by filling out this form (League Membership Sign Up) to let us know. If you do not participate, you can still play in all the home dates as usual, but you'll miss out on the gut-splitting hilarity that is sure to result from this format, not to mention a chance at a free membership pass for the 2026-2027 season.

The Format:

Each league evening, we will choose random teams and play a regular eight-end game, like we've done in the past. The new wrinkle is that we will use a point system to track standings. The “club champion tiara" will be presented to the leader in the standings at the conclusion of the four league dates. You don't have to play every league night, but if you do, you'll have more chances to score points.

The Points:

Here are the point values to be used to determine the standings:

• match win: +3

• match tie: +2

• match loss +1 (that's right, this is the coveted "participation" point)

• post-match broomstacking (show up at the bar and say hi): +1

• audible complaint about poor ice: -0.25 (honor system, self-reporting)

• Club Special: at the discretion of an unspecified entity, a variable number of points may be available at various times in the season for varying reasons. It's hard to pin down, because it varies. But it promises to be nothing short of awe-inspiring, if and when it happens.

The Prizes:

Up for grabs are two membership passes for the 2027-2026 season: one goes to the "club champion tiara winner", and one will be drawn at random from the names of all who participate in this league. The random draw will be weighted by participation -- you get one entry for each of the four dates you attend.

1. Wed Nov 4, 7-9 pm

2. Wed Nov 11, 7-9 pm

3. Sat Feb 13, 6-9 pm (tentative)
