About the “Skins” format
In the Skins format, teams compete for “skins” assigned to each end rather than counting stones. Whoever has the most skins at the end of a game wins that game. Likewise, the team with the most skins at the end of the tournament wins the event. Each skin has a value, so every team has a good chance of taking home some winnings.
- Ends 1 & 2 = 1 skin each
- Ends 3 & 4 = 2 skins each
- Ends 5 & 6 = 3 skins each
A skin is won by:
- With hammer: scoring 2 or more points
- Without hammer: stealing 1 or more points
If no team wins an end, the hammer changes hands and the skins roll over to the next end. If the final end is not decided, a draw-to-the-button challenge determines the winner.
Format of play
- The first three rounds will be played as round robin in groups of four
- Fourth round combines all groups; teams will meet each other based on ranking
- Top 10 plays the final round
Format of play is subject to change, depending on number of participating teams.
About Aalborg Curling Klub
Our club trains weekly on hockey ice in Gigantium, and members regularly compete in bonspiels across Denmark and abroad. It’s been a few years since we last hosted a bonspiel, but we’re ready to bring it back – and intend to make this an annual event!
We will have exclusive use of the rink during the week leading up to the tournament to ensure optimal ice conditions.
