Now, you knew I wasn't going to let Mock's comment go by without finding out for sure. Apparently game is the most common terminology for a complete curling competition. Match does pop up from time to time, though. A tournament is called a bonspiel.

Somewhat surprisingly, curling is not especially popular in Vermont. It is, however, quite a big deal in nearby Quebec, as Mock's comment would suggest. Yet another argument for DirecTV to carry the Canadian stations!
Comcast provides me with two English language Canadian stations and one en Français.
