Competition Use

SmartBroom 3, SmartBroom 4, and CoreBroom are World Curling approved for competition at every level, including the Olympic Games. Fit your broom with the approved foam and competition sleeve, and you can take it from club play to the highest level of the sport.

Fit the approved components

Each approved broom must be fitted with both:

Component What to use
Foam BlueFoam 2. Follow Checking Your Foam to identify it.
Sleeve A competition fabric sleeve with a valid World Curling product code. See WCF Product Code.

Approval applies to the complete setup. A competition sleeve alone does not make a different broom model or foam competition compliant.

Keep this combination together when replacing a sleeve or foam. Follow Replacing Sleeves for the replacement procedure.

For the governing specifications and current approved list, see World Curling's equipment reference.
