Schaefer Ladder
Schaefer/Rules_of_the_BDCC_competitive_Schaefer_ladder_2022-08-26.pdf
A key point to remember here is that even if you are not immediately on a team, sign up for the Spares List. That way, you will be noticed and you will get a call during the season.
The Schaefer Ladder is BDCC’s season-long ladder competition and is open to men’s, women’s and mixed rinks. The Schaefer is “skip’s choice”. Rinks are made up by the Skips holding a position in the Schaefer Ladder; Membership on a Schaefer rink can be attained through the invitation of a Schaefer Skip.
The Schaefer Cup is awarded to the top team (most points earned) at the end of the fourth round.
At the end of the curling season, playoff brackets are formed in each section (A, B, C and D). All sections will play a single elimination bracket with each winner crowned Section Champion. In addition, the winner of the A section playoff bracket will be awarded the Schaefer Shield, named after Don Schaefer who donated the trophy in 1966.
Saturday Crystals
Depuis le début de BDCC, la plupart des samedis matins, les membres ont joué pour des verres en cristal du Club. Une feuille d'inscription est affichée dans le club tous les samedis matin pour les événements du samedi suivant. Tous les membres plein privilege sont éligibles pour jouer.
L'inscription se fait selon le principe du premier arrivé, premier servi, et il y a de la place pour 24 curleurs dans chaque session des Cristaux. Les équipes sont constituées par l'organisateur juste avant le début du jeu. L’équipe gagnante des Cristaux est décidée par une séance de tirs au cercle parmi les trois équipes gagnantes. La fusillade est effectuée par chaque membre lançant une pierre dans le but de se rapprocher le plus possible du bouton. 4 points pour être dans, ou mordre, le bouton, 3 points pour être dans ou mordre le quatre pied, 2 points pour être dans ou mordre le huit pied, 1 point pour être dans ou mordre le 12 pied. Chaque membre de l’équipe avec le score combiné le plus élevé gagne un verre de cristal.
Un petit droit d'entrée est exigé chaque samedi pour couvrir le coût des quatre verres en cristal remis à l’équipe gagnante. Les points sont accumulés tout au long de l'année, les membres ayant les trois plus hauts points étant décerné une carafe en cristal à la fin de la saison.
Des petits déjeuners ont lieu avant les parties certains samedis spéciaux pendant la saison.
Ever since the BDCC started, most Saturday mornings, members have competed for Club crystal glasses. A sign-up sheet is posted in the club every Saturday morning for the following Saturday’s events. All full members are eligible to play.
The sign-up is on a first come, first served basis, and there is room for 24 curlers in each Crystals session. Rinks are made up by the organizer just before play begins. The winning Crystals rink is decided by a shoot-out among the three winning rinks. The shoot-out is performed by each member throwing one stone in an attempt to get as close to the button as possible. 4 points for being on, or biting, the button, 3 points for being in, or biting, the four foot, 2 points for being in, or biting, the eight foot, 1 point for being in, or biting, the 12 foot. Each member of the rink with the highest combined score wins a crystal glass.
A small entry fee is charged each Saturday which is used to cover the cost of the four crystal glasses awarded to the winning rink. Points are accumulated through the year, with the members having the three highest points being awarded a crystal decanter at the end of the season.
Masters Interclub League
Brief Description of MICL 2022-09-19
The Master’s Interclub League (MICL) comprises 11 Montreal area curling clubs. Curlers must be 50+. Each club plays against each other club twice in a season – one match at “home” and the other “away” at the other club. Matches are typically on Thursdays or Fridays.
Points are accumulated based on wins and ties in each match and a league champion declared at season end.
The format for each match:
- 9:30 AM teams arrive at host club and enjoy coffee with rum and Tim-Bits
- 10:00 AM Teams play 8 end games
- 12:00 Noon Teams socialize in “typical” post game fashion
- 12:30 approx. Lunch provided by “host” club
- Note: there is a $ to come charge per team for the lunch & match.
How the MICL works at Baie d’Urfé
Eligibility: Any member who is 50+ years of age AND curls regularly in the daytime events.
Sign-Up: A Sign-up sheet for each scheduled match will be posted on the web site Club Events » Event Registration. Each person who wants to play must register individually for the desired event.
Selecting Players: Approximately 1 week before each match the sign-up sheet will be taken down. Players are selected to fill the number of sheets at the host club and teams formed. Player selection is made to assure the each player gets roughly the same percentage of games based on number of requests. In previous years one could expect to be selected 55% of the times (s)he signed up
Teams: Teams are formed with an attempt to have different players play together each time and to have balanced and, hopefully, competitive teams. The team roster for each match is emailed to each regular player and posted on the website 4-5 days prior to the event in the Curling » League Schedule » Master InterClub 2022-2023 . Each player must confirm that they will play. It is the responsibility of each selected captain to ensure that all players will play.
Note: If any replacements are required the skip should notify person and charge who will select the replacement ensuring the equality of player selection.
Driving to Away Games: For away games the posted team list on the bulletin board will have spaces for the number of cars required. It is up to the players to have volunteer drivers and form car pools – usually based on people’s neighborhood. With the high gas prices it is suggested that each passenger pay the driver $5, 00 to $10, 00.
Lunch Preparation: Four person teams are required to prepare lunches for each of the 11 Baie d’Urfé home matches. Each person will be asked to work once and a few will work twice in the kitchen. Person to charge is coordinating the lunch teams and will post a list for the season once we have a complete list of all senior curlers. Any conflicts should be solved individually by trading places with another person. All changes should be noted on the lunch schedule on the bulletin board.
Note: The first name for each lunch team will be the “Chief Cook” who decides on the menu and assigns responsibilities, such as buying supplies, preparing and serving the meal and cleaning the kitchen.
Sunday Night League

It will be individual sign up, with teams formed by the convener.

Those who play in the first round, will most likely be a Skip or a Third when the learn to curlers join in November.
-
There will be some trophies for individual accomplishment.
-
I will be seeking out coaches to help and provide some skills training.
-
On the social side I would like one team to bring snacks for each draw; or alternatively collect a $2 fee to buy snacks, but this aspect is optional and will be based on the majority opinion of the participants.
If you have ant questions please email me ([email protected]) or call me at (514)-453-6650
Joe Lewis : Convenor
Daytime curling in the morning
This is a curling event, open to all BDCC full-members. We play every Monday and Wednesday morning at 9:30 a.m. throughout the season.
There is no commitment to play every day. Teams are made up each day based on whoever attends. This allows everyone to play with different skips and team mates.
Note: If there are more than 24 players who show up, teams will be made up on a first come basis or play 4 ends splitting with one of the original 24 players.
