Shamrock Shotgun
The Shamrock Shotgun is an annual bonspiel, or curling tournament, that takes place at the Shamrock Curling Club in Edmonton, Alberta. The tournament is held in a round robin format. The tournament was started in 2012 as part of the World Curling Tour.
The event is a re-incarnation of the previous "Shamrock Shotgun," which used to be held at the end of the season and featured top teams from across the city. The event was brought back for the 2012–13 season, but was held in the fall instead of in the spring. The event is a lower-end WCT event, created as a "regional development series". Almost every team entered in the 2012 event was from Alberta (most from the Edmonton area), save for a few international teams and a few from out of the province.[1]
