It's the showdown of the Army Vs. Air Force. This tradition at the Fairbanks Curling Club will kick off the epic battle between the two armed services. You do not have to be active duty Army or Air Force to play, just pick your side and sign up!

The format for this year's event will be the same as last year.  We will have 6 teams of Army vs 6 teams of Air Force curlers.   The cost will be $25 per person which includes breakfast snacks and lunch.  There will be a “last chance” learn to curl starting at 0800 the morning of the event. 

After the ceremonial coin toss to determine which service has the hammer for the first game, we will play one 4-End game (0930-1030).  Army will have yellow rocks and Air Force will throw red rocks throughout the event.  Each victory counts as a point for your team.

After the first game, one member from each team - as selected by the team - will compete in the skills challenge - a takeout and a draw to the button.  The service that wins the skills challenge gets 2 additional points added to their total.

After the skills challenge, we will return to the ice for a final 4-End game (1100-1200) to determine this year's winning service.
