Championship Rules

All of the events run by the Nova Scotia Curling Association are governed by Curling Canada’s Rules of Curling, applicable NSCA Board Policies and the NSCA Rules for Championship Play. All questions regarding rules should be directed to the CAP (Competitions Advisory Panel) at [email protected]. The 2026-27 rules are published below.

About the Competitions Advisory Panel (CAP)

The Competitions Advisory Panel (CAP) plans, runs, and reviews all NSCA championship events to ensure they are consistent, transparent, and athlete-centred. The CAP prepares the annual championship calendar, selects host sites, publishes rules and draw documents, and collects feedback after each provincial event through an online survey. The CAP then reviews all feedback and publishes a post-event report that explains what changes will be made (or not made) and why. Read the CAP Charter document.
