Visit CURLSASK to register for 2023 SaskTel Tankard Playdowns and read Playdown rules.

The qualification process for the 12-team SaskTel Tankard Provincial Championship is as follows: 

Note: All teams wishing to enter the SaskTel Provincial Championships must register for playdowns by December 5, 2022 @ 12pm. Teams must adhere to the Residency Eligibility Rules by Curling Canada to collect provincial qualifying SaskCTRS and CTRS points as outlined here. All point totals are derived from Curling Canada’s CTRS list. 

Eight teams will pre-qualify based on merit-based play. Four teams will qualify through a Last Chance Event. The points cutoff for merit-based play is December 19, 2022. 

1. Teams one-four will be the top four teams on the SaskCTRS leaderboard. This includes all CTRS points earned at SaskTour and WCT events that take place within Saskatchewan. (Note: Lloydminster is affiliated with Saskatchewan; events in Lloydminster do qualify.) 

2. Teams five-eight will qualify from Curling Canada’s CTRS list. The four highest Saskatchewan teams not previously qualified through the first process will receive an invite to provincials. 

3. Teams nine-twelve will qualify through the SaskTel Last Chance Event January 5-8, 2023 held at the Tisdale Curling Club. This will be a triple-knockout event. 

Read CURLSASK Men's Playdown Rules here. 

1. Points System and Registration

To accumulate SaskCTRS and CTRS points you must register for CTRS and follow the CTRS rules as laid out here

2. Saskatchewan Tour

Any CTRS eligible event in Saskatchewan is now considered part of the SaskTour.

a) Triple knockout or modified double knockout draw. 

b) Entry fees will include the $50 SCT fee and the $70 bonspiel hosting fee. The entry fee must be paid in full upon registration for an event. A team will not be considered entered into the bonspiel until the entry fee is received by the organizing committee of the host club. Registration forms will be available at any host club.
* If a junior team qualifies for the playoffs, the $300 difference from the regular fee will be DEDUCTED from their winnings.

c) Refunds will not be given to teams that drop out after Friday the week before the event or to teams that fail to show up for an event without the approval from both the host club and the SCT.

d) Entries can be capped by the host club / SaskTour as there are no more berth spiels.

e) Minimum prize purse of 97% of entry fee (not including SCT fees or WCT fees)

f) The SCT Committee will report results so CTRS and Sask tour standings are updated

g) If there are byes in a draw, they are not to be awarded to teams that have 2 local players or more.

3. Rules

a) All games will be 8 ends. Extra end (s) to be played in event of a tie.

b) For non-playoff games, a coin toss will take place 20 minutes prior to the start of each game. Team on the top of the draw to call. Winner of the toss can take choice of practice time (1st or 2nd) OR rock color. Loser of toss to choose from remaining options.

c) For non-playoff games, practice time will consist of EACH player throwing 1 rock up and 1 rock back. At the conclusion of these 8 rocks, the team will choose 1 player to throw a draw to the button towards the home end with full sweeping. The rock will be measured, from 0” (0cm) (covering the pinhole) to 6 feet (185.4cm). The team with the shortest distance will receive hammer in the 1st end. 

d) For non-playoff games, if the team with first practice records a distance of 0 or 185.4cm, another player from that team (different from 1st player) shall throw one more stone to record a second distance to be used if ties occur. If the second player to deliver records a distance of 0 or 185.4cm, another player will deliver a 3rd stone to be measured. In the event of a there being a tie after both teams have thrown 3 draws a coin toss will determine hammer with the team on the top of the draw calling.

e) For playoff games that involve a team that received a playoff bye, the process from b), c) & d) above will be followed.

f) For all playoff games not covered in e), if one team has fewer losses, they will have the choice of rocks or hammer, but not both. The other team will have the other choice. The team with hammer will have first practice.

g) If both teams have the same number of losses, follow the same procedures as b), c) & d) above.

h) Teams must have a minimum of 3 players present at their practice time or they will forfeit last rock in the first end of play. Someone must hold the broom for all measured draw attempts.

i) Where games are televised, skips and one other player may be asked to wear microphones and/or do post game interview; please comply with these requests.

j) Please ensure that a minimum of six ends are played in all televised games.

k) With television equipment being fixed for Access events, there will be cases where one semi-final and the final will be played on the same sheet. In these cases, the team in the final that did not just come off that sheet will be permitted an optional 10-minute practice with both sets of rocks on the final sheet at the conclusion of both semi-finals and prior to the sheet being prepared for the final. Both teams will then get the standard 4 rocks up and down practice prior to the final.

l) SCT Bonspiels allow two, one minute timeouts with a coach during the game. Timeouts are self regulated, with a recommendation that the opposition uses a stopwatch to monitor this.

m) For all other rules consult the CURLSASK Men's Competition Page.

n) All draws, excluding the tour championship, have teams placed in the draw at random. No team will receive a second bye in a season, if there is a team in the field who has not already received a bye.

o)For your team's CTRS points to count towards SCT points for the purpose of a Tankard birth you need a minimum of two original players playing every game and you can only have a maximum of one spare per game played in an event.  So for example if your team has two original players who cannot compete in a SCT event, you can have one player as a "spare" and play three handed the whole weekend.  If at any point the team plays an end with two spares the teams CTRS points for the purpose of the Tankard birth will not count.  The spare cannot be someone who has played in the existing event for another team already.

p)EFFECTIVE NOVEMBER 17, 2022 and onward all SCT events will have the newly adopted "No Tick Rule".  Refer to this link on the rules  https://www.curling.ca/files/2022/10/NO-TICK-Rule-2022-23.pdf

NOTE: CURLSASK OFFICIAL RULES GOVERNING THE PROVINCIAL MEN’S COMPETITION WILL TAKE PRECEDENCE OVER THESE GUIDELINES IN THE EVENT OF A CONFLICT.
