First off, are you familiar with a bonspiel? Simply put, a bonspiel is a curling tournament. This is important to know, because these days there is a real curling scene in Buffalo, thanks to the effort of organizations such as the Buffalo Curling Club (BCC).
While there might be a number of bonspiels throughout the year, one of the most anticipated events is the Annual Open Bonspiel at the BCC. This is the open tournament where anyone can participate, as long as they are able to register a team of four players. Then again, single players can get matched up with others to form a team, which means that anyone can play. And that’s really the point of the “open” bonspiel.
“All guaranteed games are 6-ends, finals are 8-ends. No gender requirements. If you don’t have a team of 4, you may sign up as an individual and we’ll help place you!” – Buffalo Curling Club
Curling used to be a sport where you would have to travel to Niagara Falls to play, or some other city. These days, that’s not the case, as luck would have it.
