What Saskatoon hires

Three crowds in one building, kept apart.

A tournament weekend puts players, officials and spectators into the same rink or gym and asks each of them to use it differently. Teams need a route from the dressing rooms to the bench that fans do not walk down; officials need a way in and out that nobody else uses; spectators need a line at the door, a line at the canteen and a clear view of the play. Most of that is not a queue at all but a set of separations, and a belt drawn across a corridor is the simplest way to make one — as long as the count covers every doorway on the plan, not just the front one.

Routes for players and officials

Belt lines along corridors and around the bench areas mark the ways that are team and staff only, with a sign frame saying so at each end.

Registration at the front door

Switchbacks for wristbands, check-in and ticketing, where parents and whole teams turn up together at the start of the weekend.

Barricade on the concourse

Where spectators bunch along the boards or the gym wall, interlocking steel holds a line that a belt cannot, without touching the playing surface.

Rink and gym deliveries

The city and the towns around it.

A tournament often runs in two or three buildings at once, so an order here is frequently split between rinks, gyms and a school, with one count across all of them. Delivery, setup and collection are each itemised; a volunteer host committee often takes the drop and lays out the line itself, and a larger event takes the setup so the volunteers are free for the scoreboard.

  • Martensville
  • Warman
  • Dalmeny
  • Osler
  • Langham
  • Clavet
  • Aberdeen
  • Delisle
  • Vanscoy
  • Corman Park

Drops go to the buildings a Saskatoon tournament is played in:

  • the downtown arena and its concourse
  • the university fieldhouse and the campus rink
  • the multi-sheet rinks in the suburbs
  • the high school and college gyms across the city
  • the curling clubs and the indoor soccer centre
  • the community rinks in the towns north of the city

Send the building plan with the dressing rooms, benches and entrances marked, and the count comes back against every doorway that has to be controlled.

Tournament questions

What Saskatoon host committees ask.

How much is stanchion hire in Saskatoon?
The gold-post-and-velvet-rope set and the black-post-and-belt set are billed identically: $19 a day, $29 over three days, $39 a week. A tournament weekend usually falls on the three-day rate. Delivery, setup and collection are itemised separately, so a committee that lays out its line with volunteers pays for the drop and nothing more.
How do we keep fans out of the player corridors?
With a belt drawn across the mouth of each corridor and a sign frame at the end of it saying who the route is for. A belt is a clear marker rather than a wall, which is right here — it stops a parent wandering in without trapping a player who needs to get out. Mark every corridor on the plan, including the back ones, because those are the ones that get missed.
Can posts go on the rink floor or the gym court?
Posts stand on the concourse, the rubber matting and the hall floors, not on the ice or the playing surface. Where a gym is strict about its court it will say where equipment may stand, and the layout follows that, so send whatever rules the building gives you along with the brief.
Can one order cover games in several buildings?
Yes. A weekend spread across a main arena, a practice rink and a school gym is quoted as one count divided between the sites, with each drop listed. Send the addresses together and say which building is busiest, because that is where the spare posts go.
Do you supply signs for team and official areas?
Yes. Printed panels in sign frames and T-stands can mark dressing rooms, bench assignments, officials-only doors and the registration desk. Panels are made for the order, so send the list of rooms and the wording with the brief, together with the tournament artwork if the panels should carry it.
