General Curl San Diego Sub Rules
1. You do not have to have prior curling experience to serve as a sub. Novice curlers will play lead and be given a crash course prior to the start of the game. League curlers are expected to help teach new curlers during the course of the game.
2. All subs should expect to play whichever position the team they are subbing for requires.
3. The club does not charge subs to play, but subs should pay the team they are subbing for $25 per game. This should be used to reimburse the missing league player.
To find out if teams are in need of subs or to post your availability, please use the Forum tab above and look for the game date in question in the “Subs” area of the discussion board.
Additional Curl San Diego Sub Rules for Fall League (Club Playoffs) Only
1. Your team must have at least 2 original members every game.
2. Subs cannot be members of another team also in the league.
Failure to follow these rules results in an automatic loss on the schedule.
You must have 3 curlers on a team to make a game. So if you are only 2 members and cannot find a non-league member for a sub, you will be forced to take an automatic loss. There at least 6 non-league curlers who have subbed previously, so it should not be too difficult to find a sub using the Forum.
In the case of an automatic loss, please be sure to still get league curler subs so that the game is still played. Your opponents are still looking to play, so form a team for the game however you can. Upon completion of the game, be sure to mark it as a loss regardless of the score.
If both teams fail to meet the required minimum of at least 2 original team members or cannot form a team of 3 curlers without the use of league curler subs, then both teams would be facing automatic losses. In the case of both teams facing automatic losses, the game should be played with invalid subs (other league curlers). The game is then played without the automatic loss, so the winner is determined based on the score as if the teams were both valid. In this case the rule-violations offset each other.
