Who can Spare?
Curlers who are not members of our club cannot spare.
All members may curl and spare as many times as they want within the leagues that they normally play.
If a spare is not available within your league, spares can be drawn from all membership categories as follows:
- Unlimited (Adult Unlimited, Intermediate Unlimited, Student Unlimited): unlimited sparing.
- Adult 2-League: may spare up to six (6) times per season total in any another league.
- Adult 1-League: may spare up to four (4) times per season total in any another league.
- Junior (U21): may spare up to five (5) times total in other leagues at the discretion of the convenor.
- Bantam (U16): cannot spare in other leagues.
- Spare Only: may spare up to twelve (12) times per season total in any league, including playoffs.
- Practice Only: cannot spare.
- Half-Season Memberships: 50% of regular full-season sparing opportunities.
- Non-HCCC Curlers: cannot spare.
Sparing Guidelines
- Try to find a spare from those listed as available to spare within your league, before looking in other leagues:
- Member-Central > Find A Spare
- Try to find a spare who normally plays at the same position/level.
- Please use Member-Central > My Sparing Availability, to indicate if you are regularly available to spare in a league.
It is the responsibility of all HCCC members to be aware of our League Guidelines and to adhere to the Sparing guidelines, rules and restrictions within:
- Curling > Leagues > League Guidelines
Any infraction will be subject to review and possible action.
We are a fully volunteer run club and rely on the honour system for adherence to our Sparing guidelines.
