Curling without ice
Carpet curling has been played since the mid-1970s and is especially popular in Sweden and Denmark. It is a combination of curling on ice and ice stock sport, but is played inside in the warm or outside on a square or on a suitable surface. This tactical team sport is the ideal way to relax after a company seminar, and can be played on your premises, in a seminar hotel, or in a private space of your own.
The game
The game is played on special carpets of varying lengths. You can book a particular set or a combination: the standard set requires 10 x 2 m metres per field, the somewhar smaller regular set 8 x 1.2 metres. Two teams of between 1 and 4 people play each other, and a game is composed of two rounds after which the points are counted. You will be given an introduction to the rules at the time. Carpet curling is also ideal for people in wheelchairs.
Additional shuffleboard or a mini-tournament
Larger groups can complement the carpet curling with shuffleboard, in which two players use cues to slide discs from one side of the field to the other, and to gain points by placing them as well as possible. The minimum space required for this game is ten square metres.
Or would it be good to hold a mini-tournament, consisting of the following disciplines:
- Carpet curling
- Carpet ice stock sport
- Carpet darts
- Shuffleboard curling
- Shuffleboard darts tower
- Carpet bowls
- Carpet golf
The winner is the one with the most points. You need to arrange your own clubhouse, hall, or other suitable venue.
