Mix and Match Team Ladder League

2008-2009
Sponsor: Murphy's Cornwall Pharmacy
Welcome to another season of the Wednesday Night Murphy's Cornwall Pharmacy Mix and Match Ladder League! In this league. the bottom three teams of the A pool change places with the top three teams of the B pool at the end of each round. The ladder format means that teams play other teams of approximately the same calibre, and adds some variety, as well. There are 20 teams signed up -- two pools of ten teams. The top two teams in the A pool of each draw will win a prize at season end, along with the top team in the B pool in the final round.

In order to accommodate 20 teams this year, and eliminate byes, we will play both six and eight end games, allowing all teams to play every night (if we played only eight end games, there would be four byes per team). There will be two sheets of six end games, with start times of 6, 7:30 and 9 pm, and two sheets of eight end games at 6:30 and 8:30 pm each night. A and B pools will each get the same number of games of each length.

The first night, October 22nd, will be Qualifier Night, with each team playing another rink chosen at random, with the winning teams advancing to the A pool. There are 21 weeks of league play after that, with no curling on Christmas eve and New Year's eve, and the last night being April 1st.

To make things more interesting, we will have four rounds (partial round robins) this year of five weeks each, so there will be lots of movement.  The final night will be used as a makeup night for storms, or a fun night. 
 
RULES: 

This is an open, semi-competitive league. Team entry (any combination of male and/or female), partial team and single entry (we will assign you to a team) are permitted.  To keep this league on a more recreational level, no more than two players on one team may be members of the same Tuesday night competitive league team.

 No ties: Skips will draw to the button (with sweeping) to resolve individual game ties. Only the throwing team may sweep the rock -- the opposing team may not sweep behind the tee (rule clarification to address a question I received last season).

 Points will be awarded as follows:

 3 points will be awarded for a win, 1 point for a loss, 0 points for a loss by default . Scores will be kept as well, to be used only in end-of-round tie resolution. In the event of a default, the non-defaulting team will receive a score of one point for each scheduled end. 

 At least one regular team member and at least three players in total must be present to avoid a default. Team members can play any position and can change from game to game. When teams are tied in points after a round, the win/loss record of those teams against each other shall be used to determine their ranking (provided that the two teams faced each other in the round). When the ranking of teams cannot be determined by comparing round win/loss records against the teams involved in the tie, the ranking shall be determined by the score differentials of the teams who are tied. If they are still tied, the full score differentials of the teams who are tied will be used. 

 In the event of a cancellation, the cancelled draw will be played at the end of round, and all subsequent draws will remain where they were (note: this is a change from previous years).

Jeff Taylor rink wins A Pool Round One

Round One is over in the Murphy's Cornwall Pharmacy Mix and Match Ladder League. The youngest team in the league, skipped by Jeff Taylor, with Alex Sutherland, Sean Young, and Alex Jenkins came out the winners in the A Pool, finishing the five week round with only one loss. The somewhat older Jim Farquharson foursome, with  Roy Coffin, Bob MacWilliams, and John Berry, also had only one loss, to Taylor, relegating them to the runner-up position. Four teams, skipped by Karen Currie, Bob Fowler, Ernie Diamond, and Guy Arsenault, all had two losses. Ray Biagé's team, who came up on the short end of an exciting battle with the Taylor rink the final week, were next with three losses.

Three teams, skipped by Barb Duncan-Biagé, Rupert Sweetapple, and Paul Neima, had only one win, and will be making their way down the ladder to the B pool for Round Two, which goes Dec. 3, 10, and 17, takes a two week break for Christmas and New Year's eves, resumes on Jan. 7, and wraps up on Jan. 14.

In the B pool, the Geoff Scutt squad, with President Sherren MacKinnon, Donald Weeks, and Deb DelValle, went undefeated to win the pool and a trip up the ladder to the A pool. They'll be joined in the A Pool by the Terry MacCormac and Gord Peters rinks,who finished the round with one loss each. For the record, MacCormac and Peters did not meet in the round, but Peters gets the nod for second place, as he had a higher total score in the round. Shirley Berry and Chris Hodgson each had a couple of losses, while the Joerg Soltermann and Robert Waite teams had three. Kelly Watts and Kathy Reeves each picked up a win, while Colleen Soltermann wasn't as fortunate!

So it's Neima, Duncan-Biagé and Sweetapple down, and Scutt, Peters and MacCormac up the ladder for round two.

 Here is the draw quick reference for Round 2. Both A and B teams with same number play at same time.
