Individual vs. Team Entry
Individual Entry means that each player signs up individually and teams are created by the league convenors. Most "club curling" at the Stratford Country Club is individual entry. The teams change once or twice during the season to keep things interesting and challenging. All levels of experience are both welcome and needed - the more experienced curlers will balance the newer curlers' skills. Good games are had by all.
Team Entry leagues are open to teams of four who sign up together and play the whole season as a team.
