After we announced back in May multiple changes to the provincial circuit that are already applied since the start of September, we are happy to announce 2 new important changes to the points system for the men’s provincial circuit. They will be applied on December 2nd 2024 (first day of the next points season on the men’s provincial circuit).
As of now, each dollar gained during events who are registered to the men’s provincial circuit or during events played outside of Quebec quals one point on the men’s provincial circuit. This system will be modified as of December 2nd 2024.
Multiplication of the provincial circuit points for CTRS events
As of December 2nd 2024, each dollar won during a CTRS event (on the men’s provincial circuit or outside of Quebec) will be worth 1,5 point on the men’s provincial circuit. This means that point will be multiplied by 1,5 for CTRS events.
This measure is put in place to encourage events to register to the CTRS because the accepted formats (triple knockout or pools) are better standardised. We are conscious that many events in Quebec use another format, Curling Quebec will be available to assist organisers who wish to change their event’s format.
Multiplication of men’s provincial circuit points and bonification of CTRS points gained during the men’s circuit final
In an effort to see the circuit final be once again an important event for the province’s competitive teams this event will also have a multiplier of Men’s circuit points and a bonification of the CTRS points gained at the event when calculating each team’s total for the Hardline Tankard qualification.
First, each dollar gained at the men’s circuit final will be worth 2 provincial circuit point.
Second, when calculating CTRS points for the teams registered to the Hardline Tankard, the CTRS points gained during the circuit final will be multiplied by 1,5.
We believe that these 2 measures and the presence of Mr. Stéphane Delisle our chief ice technician at each year’s circuit final (starting this season) will help this event regain the importance it once had for competitive men’s teams.
