Statement sent out to Stu Sells Oakville teams, will likely adopt same policy for OCT Fall Classic:
---------------
One of the issues we've been working on is how we're going to handle the brushing rules for this early season event. The World Curling Federation is not ruling on brushing until their meetings in early September, so we wont have any official rules to work with yet.
While the rules aren't set, it seems the guidelines are in place as curling manufacturers are all working with what we expect to be the one fabric that will be allowed on ice.
We will be following these expected guidelines with only these heads allowed on the ice for the event. We're also going to set rules where players can only use their own brush (no switching) and only one brush pad per game per player.
I have confirmed with major manufacturers that heads will be available for the first event, so please contact your supplier to make sure you have enough brush heads for the weekend. We will attempt to have some stock available as well, but there's no guarantees.
To make this easier to enforce, we ask teams to leave their broom bags in the locker room and bring out the four brushes they will be using on ice for sweeping.
