Schenectady Curling Club’s
7th Annual Men’s Ten & Under Bonspiel
December 9, 10 & 11, 2011
Bonspiel Application
The Schenectady Curling Club will be hosting the eighth annual Men's
10 & Under Bonspiel on December 9 - 11, 2011, and you're cordially
invited to join us. This is a great opportunity to get your teams involved in
early season competition.
For those not familiar with this event, eligibility is limited to men
with ten or fewer years of curling experience, which provides the
opportunity for curlers to compete with teams of similar skill and experience.
Among others, participants will include those who have aged out of the
Francis Dykes (5 & Under) competition, along with
competitors honing their skills in preparation for future Dykes events. The draw
has been set to accommodate no more than 24 rinks, so please don't delay in
submitting your entry.
The 10 & Under Bonspiel is structured to offer sufficient ice time while
still providing ample time to socialize with old and new friends alike. A
minimum of 4 games are guaranteed for all participating rinks. All meals are
covered by the $300 rink fee, including Friday's lunch & buffet dinner;
Saturday's breakfast, lunch and our famous grilled tenderloin fillet steak
dinner; and a full Sunday brunch. As usual, SCC will be sponsoring the "curl for
free" game during Friday night's last draw, with the winning rink having
their entry fee returned to them, in cash. You have to play to win, and to win
this one, you must be either in the SCC warm room or on the ice during those
games.
We anticipate play will start at 10 AM on Friday. Out-of-town rinks will be offered access to the latest available draw times.
Sunday's five final events will include 20 rinks, with the event Finals starting
at 11:30 AM. The A-event champs (the Brooks Memorial) & the B-event's
winning rink (the Tom Garber Memorial) will have their names engraved on their
respective trophies, allowing bragging rights for years to come. Finalists in
the top four events will be awarded pins.
Returning skips: To reserve your spot, be sure to submit
your application no later than Monday, 11/14/2011.
To all: If you do plan to attend, but don't yet have a full
rink, please submit a partial application, and re-submit the completed
application when you do have a full rink. Returning skips' applications will be
accepted first, if received by 11/14/2011, followed by other entries in the order
they are received. To guarantee emailed applications, the entry fee must be
received no later than 11/18/2011. SCC will confirm that your application has
been accepted before depositing your check.
Invitations and applications will be emailed to all GNCC clubs, but if you
know of anyone planning to join us, please forward this email to them so that
they don't miss the opportunity to participate. For more information,
