r/Curling

Despite being owned and operated by the same people, Rock League shows hints of LIV Golf, having most of the best players in the world, but not all come right away, while probably not staying. They’ve managed to run worse broadcasting/streaming options, they managed to have a worse in arena experience, they managed to fail on virtually every front in the first 2 days of the event, outside of the curlers being good at what they do.

People will say oh but it’s the first event, let them get their kinks out… but guys, it’s the same people. How can we see this and not find it funny to watch.

Someone needs to provide the curlers with what they deserve, these are the best players in the world, and there’s still rumours that people haven’t been paid, their first season was supposed to have Euro events. It’s a lot of talk, and less do.

But I don’t understand the crossover between the fact that they run slams, and well. But then this first Rock League event was so abysmal?

You may remember the Mini Curling Stones which are made of the original curling stones from the Olympics. Back then, I ordered one and it just arrived. In the package, there was also a certificate which says it was cut from stone numer "AL 26664", used at the Olympic Winter Games. I was now wondering if there is any way I can track the stone back to some, or at least one match where the original stone was in play?

I already tried to find some hints on pictures from the Olympics, but at least at first glimpse I can't find any serial number or something like that. Any ideas would be heavily appreciated!

Working on a mystery novel set in a fictional Saskatchewan town in early July on or after Canada Day. Cops are looking for the murder weapon at the local combined hockey/curling rinks facility. One of those ones with a licensed bar on the second floor looking out on the curling ice. They find it there in the bar. But isn’t the bar usually shut down once the curling rink ice is gone? Or does your local small town curling rink keep it open for other events in the offseason?

Quick update on the effort to create the Lebanese Curling Association 🇱🇧🥌

Big milestone:
The LCA packet has officially been submitted to the Lebanese government.

That means the association is now formally moving through the recognition process and is one step closer to eventually joining the WCF and representing Lebanon internationally.

Over the past months, this project has gone from just an idea to:

• Drafting a full constitution and governance structure
• Working with the Lebanese embassy
• Building connections with municipalities in Lebanon
• Designing long-term plans for facilities and development
• Reaching out to curlers across the Lebanese diaspora
• Building branding, outreach, and recruitment materials from scratch

Lebanon currently has no curling federation, rink, or national program, so everything is being built from zero.

Still a long road ahead, but this was a huge step for the project.

And again, if anyone here is Lebanese, knows Lebanese curlers, or simply wants to help grow the sport in a new country, feel free to reach out!

Looking forward to seeing how they do.

Guess he was tired of living in Brad Jacob’s shadow

This is a super niche find by me, but only because I’m interested in both.

Rock League began Monday April 6th.

The OHL Cup Finals were held April 4th in the exact same venue.

Has it all been a lie all along? According to most Reddit curling knowers it takes 4 or 5 days to prepare a venue. Anyone got an answer for this one?

We host a lot of special events and trying to recruit enough volunteers to bartend is getting to be a lot... Not to mention potential issues with compliance, service quality, etc, we probably should consider hiring bartenders. Several years ago, we leased out our kitchen space and it's been great. One less thing to worry about, and we get lease payments to pay for all costs and depreciation of kitchen assets. We are wondering about the bar now? Does anybody lease out their bar? That person/business would then be responsible for hiring and training bartenders, stocking inventory, etc. How much do you charge? What are some other things to consider? Please include your general location, as I imagine some liquor rules may impact answers. We are in Canada

Has anyone else had problems with ordering off hardline I put an order through and it didn’t take any payment from my bank and hasn’t been shipped if anyone can help it would be appreciated

I started practicing with a league and I want to buy shoes looking online but don’t know where to look and any tips on the kind or the speed rating?

Stefania Constantini and Amos Mosaner have announced earlier today that they have a new goal 2030 and even launched a new instagram page. Rumours they were going their separate ways too and while they have said they have little to do with eachother outside curling seems to be a relationship which is working. Unlike whatever happened with the ladies.
