NO-TICK RULE ADDED IN 2023-24
CURLING CANADA ADOPTS NO-TICK RULE FOR ALL EVENTS AS OF 2023-24
Curling Canada will formally adopt the World Curling Federation’s No-Tick Shot rule for all its championship events starting in the 2023-24 curling season.
The update to Curling Canada’s rules matches a World Curling Federation decision to implement the No-Tick Shot rule at all international events starting immediately.
The No-Tick Shot rule now being used for all Curling Canada events is as follows:
If, prior to the delivery of the sixth stone of an end, a delivered stone causes either directly or indirectly, an opposition stone in the Free Guard Zone (FGZ) which is touching the centre line to be moved to an off-centre line position or to a position outside the FGZ, the non-offending team has the option to:
(i) Remove the delivered stone from play, and replace all stones that were displaced to their positions prior to the violation taking place; or
(ii) Leave all stones where they came to rest.
If the stone is moved from the centre line to an out-of-play position, then the FGZ rule applies.
This does not apply for Wheelchair Curling or for Mixed Doubles competitions.

How to Make Twice-Baked Potatoes
Making perfect twice-baked potatoes at home is easier than you think. You'll find a detailed ingredient list and step-by-step instructions in the recipe below, but let's go over the basics:
The Best Potatoes for Twice-Baked Potatoes
The best potato variety for baking is low in moisture and high in starch, such as a Russet potato. Plus, they have sturdy skins (perfect for holding the rich filling) and are naturally perfectly portioned.
How to Cook Twice-Baked Potatoes
Here's a brief overview of what you can expect when you make this twice-baked potatoes recipe:
- Bake the potatoes until tender.
- Cook, drain, and crumble the bacon.
- Slice the potatoes and scoop out the flesh.
- Mix the flesh with the remaining ingredients (reserving half of the cheese and onions).
- Spoon the mixture back into the skins. Top with reserved ingredients and bacon.
- Bake the potatoes again for about 15 minutes.
How Long to Cook Twice-Baked Potatoes
All in all, the potatoes should spend about 1 hour and 15 minutes baking in an oven preheated to 350 degrees F. They'll cook for about an hour during the first round of baking, then about 15 minutes during the final round.
How to Store Twice-Baked Potatoes
Store leftover twice-baked potatoes tightly covered with plastic wrap or foil (or in an airtight storage container) in the fridge for up to four days.
How to Reheat Twice-Baked Potatoes
Reheat by baking the potatoes in an oven preheated to 350 degree F for 15 to 20 minutes or in the microwave (covered with a damp paper towel) for 2 to 3 minutes.
