All point totals are derived from Curling Canada’s CTRS list.

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 Alberta; events in Lloydminster do not 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 20-23, 2022 held at the Nutana Curling Club. This will be a triple-knockout event. 

These twelve teams will compete at the Cooperator Centre in Regina, Feb 9-13, 2022 in a self-seeded Triple-Knockout Event with a four-team page-playoff. The winner will represent Saskatchewan at the Tim Hortons Brier March 4-13, 2022 in Lethbridge, AB.

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.

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