The winner of the Bill Strum Memorial Tournament is the club champion and receives recognition on the club championship plaque and a cash prize. The event honors the memory of Bill Strum who is a SCC lifetime member, 3-time world champion, world curling hall of fame member, and 2-time Olympian including a bronze medal in Albertville in 1992. A tremendous legacy.
 
Any 4-person regular league team (Monday, Tuesday, Wednesday, or Thursday) is eligible to enter, regardless of regular season record. You are allowed to play on multiple teams with the understanding that at some point you may have to either play yourself or play at the same time. I do my best to avoid conflicts like this but it’s not always avoidable.
