What...3 more Wednesdays before Xmas break!

Hey, TFL'rs:

Hard to believe, that there are only 3 more Wednesday games before we ring in 2013 - what, we just started!

 

Last game before we break for Xmas is Wednesday, December 19th

Just wanted to take a moment to thank the mom's of Richard, Josh and Jake for generously providing home made snacks for us. Everyone both behind the glass and on the ice have all contributed such great support - which makes it easy for Deb & I to convene this league!

Riley is our Designated Spare, be sure to contact his mom, Beth no later than Tuesday if you need him to step in.

See ya all this Wednesday!

Six (6) team Schedule - Starts Nov 14th

 

All,

Based on the feedback I received it seems people want six teams and no byes. Since this is a new change we will play:

• Next week, Nov 7 with the old teams
• Following week, Nov 14th start with new teams as noted below (schedule to be posted shortly)

 

Note, this means we now have no spares. I am hoping to get a few people to sign up for this role. If you know of anyone else who would like to play, it is only $40 to join as a spare and chances are you will get to play a fair bit.

 

Your team is counting on you to be there. If you can't come please notify Roz and I no later than Tuesday night before your scheduled game.

 

If one player is missing from a team they can still play with 3 teammates. If 2 or more are missing the game is forfeited and we would like to be able to notify the opposing team.
 

Starting Wed. November 14th: NEW teams, note most teams remain the same

How do I find a replacement or 'spare' to fill in my position?

Q: I have a doctor's appointment on the day my team is playing. How do I find someone to fill in my spot?
A: Curlers are responsible for obtaining their own replacement - called a 'spare'.

Q: When should I contact my 'spare'?
A: This should be done with as much PRIOR notice as possible.

Q: Who should I contact first?
A: Contact your 'spare', in the order below. Remember to let them know:

• Who you are
• What position you are playing
• Which team you are from
• What date you would like them to 'spare' for you

1. Start with the official 'Spare list', here:

• Emma - contact via email:  john.tobin@multiviewcorp.com
• Hanna - contact via email:  john.tobin@multiviewcorp.com
• Josh - contact via email:  luckybug3@yahoo.ca

2. Next check Schedule to see which  team does not have a game that week - this is called a 'bye'. Contact any member of that 'bye' team. Contact list will be circulated directly to all the contacts of the TFL.
3. Let Deb, Roz & your skip know that some one else is filling in for you - this is called 'sparing'
