The schenkel scoring system is used in curling games (bonspiels) where many teams play several games leading to a final game. There could be 24 teams playing 3 by 4-end games on a six sheet ice rink. Only 12 teams can play at a time so the 24 would be split into two sections. The initial game of each section would be played by random draw. Teams would get 2 points for a win, 1 point for a draw and 0 points for lose. The number of ends won would count. The number of shots scored could be added as well although shots scored is often only used to separate two teams who were equal in points and ends. two teams with the highest number of points will play each other in the next round of games, with 3rd and 4th playing each other right down to 7th playing 8th. The main reason is to make strong teams play other strong teams so that weaker teams don't get badly beaten each game (apart from the first game). Eventually both sections will have played all their games and different variations of scoring can happen. The scores of both sections can be considered and the top 12 go through to a final game still counting the score as before - highest score against 2nd highest score and so on. Or the top 6 from each section go through to the finals with top of one section playing top of the other section. Sometimes, especially in Canada, the person counting the scores does not let each team know what position they are in the scoring table, they are just told who their opposition will be in the next round, so the final games could be
played with the overall winner getting nice surprise (although they will have a rough idea of how they are doing if, say, they have won all their previous games, but they won't know who else is in the same position!).
