The Hugh Paton is played at the beginning of the season and is available to all curling members. Teams are drawn by the Match Committee and are grouped in sections as appropriate to the number of entries. A round robin is played in each section to declare a section winner. The section winners then engage in a straight knockout to decide the winner of the Hugh Paton Trophy.
Round robin, 3 games, possible dates : September 29th, September 30th, October 1st, October 6th. Playoffs : Semi final October 7th at 6PM, Final October 8th at 6PM.
