Wed PM Ladder League

Wed. Eve. Ladder League – Round 3 Draw and Schedule

Here are the draw and schedule for the final Wednesday evening Ladder League draw of the season. We’ve been fortunate to have had no draw cancellations this year, leaving us with four weeks left for a “mini” draw.

The “A” pool will get the early draw the first week, as they had the late draw the last week of Round Two. Picking definitive winners will be difficult in a partial draw with byes, so the final results will be open to interpretation!

Here is the draw/schedule for Round Three:

Team Milligan repeats as Wed. Ladder League A Pool winners, Team Hanzl wins the B Pool

It was a repeat A Pool win for the team of Gary and Ellen Milligan, Wanetta Whitmore, and Scott Ellis as round two of the Wednesday Evening Ladder League wrapped up this week.

“A” Pool Winners – Team Milligan (L-R): Gary Milligan, Ellen Milligan, Wanetta Whitmore, Scott Ellis

Meanwhile, there was a new team at the top of the “B” Pool, skipped by Matej Hanzl, with teammates Kevin Kane, Richard MacEwen, and Karen Edgar. Both the Milligan and Hanzl teams had only one loss in the round.

“B” Pool Winners – Team Hanzl (L-R): Karen Edgar, Richard MacEwen, Kevin Kane, Matej Hanzl

There’s good news on the prize front! Cody Whynot was able to obtain prizes for the winning team in this round. The Milligan squad, who also won the A Pool in Round One, will each receive an 18 hole green fee for the beautiful Clyde River Golf Club, 72 Clyde River Rd Route 247 in
Clyde River, while the Hanzel team members will each receive a ten dollar gift certificate good at J.R.’s Pizza and Dairy Bar, “Home of the Massive Slice” at 655 Capital Drive in Cornwall.

Looking at the A Pool scoresheet, Team Arsenault, skipped by Laura Arsenault, was second with 6 wins, while Tyler MacKenzie and his team came third  with 5 wins, and the Mark MacDonald foursome finished fourth with four victories. All these teams remain in the A Pool for Round Three..

Four A Pool teams, captained by Greg Groves, Cody Whynot, Kelly Watts, and Paul Neima, had three wins, with two of them descending to the “B” pool for the next round, along with Team Doug Callin (2 wins), Looking at head to head results, the Watts rink lost to the other three teams and will be one of the teams dropping down, along with the Cody Whynot team, who lost to both the Groves and Neima rinks.

Moving up from the B to the A Pool for Round Three will be the Hanzl team, and the Bodner and Boswall squads, each with six victories,

Here are the teams for Round Three, which starts on March 13, and wraps up April 3. The A Pool will have the 6:30 pm draw the first week as they had the late draw the last week of Round 2. The Round Three draw will be sent out later this weekend.

Wed. Eve. Ladder League Round 2 wraps up Mar. 6. Four week mini-round to follow

March 6 is the final night for Round 2 of our 18 team Wednesday Evening Ladder League. To accommodate the extra teams this year, we had to increase the length of rounds 1 and 2, which leaves us with four nights – March 13, 20, 27 and April 3rd for Round 3.

There will likely be players off-Island on March 27, during March Break. You need at least three players, at least one of whom is a regular team member, to play a game.

If your team decides NOT to play in Round Three, please let me know at derek.macewen@gmail.com

If you are continuing, but can’t field a team on March 27 (or another night) please let the opposing team know (after the new draw is made up). As always, you have the option to reschedule at a mutually-convenient time, or to forfeit.

Depending on whether there is an even or an odd number of teams continuing, and on whether any teams drop out, there may or may not be byes in Round 3.

Round two curlers are reminded to ensure that the Round 2 results sheet on the draw board is fully completed.

Wed. eve. Ladder League Round One pools won by Milligan and Neima teams, Round 2 draw set to go

The first round has wrapped up in the Wednesday evening Ladder League, with Team Milligan winning the “A” Pool and Team Neima taking the “B”, both with only one loss in their respective pool.

“A” Pool Winners – Team Milligan (L-R): Gary Milligan, Ellen Milligan, Wanetta Whitmore, Scott Ellis

“B” Pool Winners – Team Neima (L-R): Paul Neima, Alan Mason, Jeff Hannam, Randy Goodman

Based on their win-loss records, teams McInnis, Boswall, and Stewart will drop down from Pool A to Pool B, while teams Callin, Arsenault, and Bodner all had five wins in the “B” pool, with room for only two of them (along with Team Neima) to advance to the “B”. Looking at their records against each other, teams Callin and Arsenault will be advancing, as Callin beat both of the other teams, while Arsenault lost to Callin but beat Bodner and will also advance. Team Bodner lost to both and will remain in the “B” pool.

Here are the pools for Round Two. The B Pool gets the early draw the first week, as they had the late draw the last week of Round One. Team Arsenault has requested a bye on January 31, while Team Watts has asked for one on Feb. 28th. We will honour those requests.

Teams are reminded to check the draw times the first week, as, if they changed pools, they will be curling at the same time they did last week.

Wednesday evening Ladder League – Qualifier Night Draw for Oct. 25

Our Qualifier Night draw is now set. We have slotted two teams as follows:

We have awarded the Mark MacDonald rink, based on their past record, a bye to the “A” pool, while the Kolin Beaton team has agreed to start off the first round in the “B”. Both these teams will have Qualifier night off  (and we will make sure they do NOT have byes early in Round One). This leaves 16 teams to battle it out on Qualifier night, Oct. 25, with the winning teams going to Pool A for Round One, beginning the following Wednesday, and the other teams going to the B. We will make up the Round One draw after Qualifier night to ensure we accommodate the byes (and one other bye request we received) rather than slot the teams automatically.

We have chosen the draw for the Qualifier Night using the Random.org List Randomizer.
We have a long-standing request from Team Kamphuis to play the late draw on Qualifier night, so we have honoured this request.

Qualifier Night Draw for Oct. 25:

6:30 pm 

Ice 1: Hanzell vs Boswall

Ice 2: McInnis vs Callin

Ice 3: Griffin vs Milligan

Ice 4: Arsenault vs Stewart

8:30 pm:

Ice 1: T. MacKenzie vs Younker

Ice 2: Groves vs Bodner

Ice 3: Watts vs Neima

Ice 4: Kamphuis vs Whynot

Byes: MacDonald (going to Pool A), Beaton (going to Pool B).

Wed. Evening Ladder League rosters and other details. 

Here are the rosters we have been provided with for the Wednesday Evening Ladder League, which gets underway this week, with Qualifier Night taking place on October 25th, with winning teams going to the A Pool, and the other teams going to B for the first round, which starts on Nov. 1st.

Be sure to mark whether you won or lost on the draw sheet that will be posted. Score is not needed for Qualifier night.

Note that, following Qualifier Night, the A pool will have the 6:30 draw the first evening of the first round, as the B pool had it the last evening of the last round last year.

Teams

Please send any roster corrections to the Wed. eve. Drawmaster, Derek MacEwen, at derek.macewen.gmail.com, or the Manager at cornwallcurling@eastlink.ca

We are still looking for two players. If interested, contact either of the above email addresses, or the skips of the teams that have only three players (with TBD highlighted in yellow for the vacancies).

We have 18 teams this season, which means one team in each 9-team pool will have a bye each night. Here is the Curling Canada draw we will be using. Like the 8-team draw which we have been using, it appears to have excellent sheet distribution. We reserve the right to change the order of the weeks.

Here is the tentative schedule. With the additional teams, we will have time for only two full rounds, with three or four nights left over, and will play a partial round for the third round. Dates marked with “*” are planned to go ahead, but, depending on the draw for the championship that is scheduled that week, may possibly be delayed a few minutes or otherwise affected.

Good curling!

Welcome to another season of the Wednesday Evening Ladder League, a semi-competitive team entry league. We have 18 teams this season, which means two pools of 9, with one team in each pool having a bye each week.

The Wednesday evening Ladder League is a semi-competitive team entry league. Teams stay the same all season. Teams retaining at least 2 players from the previous season have priority to enter again this season, while other teams are on a space-available basis. Junior teams with all players age 13 and over, are welcome in this league (but have a lower priority). Teams are divided into an A and a B pool at the start of the season based on whether they win or lose against another team chosen at random on the first night, “Qualifier Night”. At the end of each of three rounds, the bottom three teams in the A pool and the top 3 teams in the B pool switch places, to add some variety for the middle-tier teams while also making the pools more competitive as the top and bottom teams will not play each other. The A and B pools will curl at separate times, alternating between the 6:30 and 8:30 draw times each week. One team in each 9 team pool has a bye each week. At least three players, at least ONE of whom is on the listed team (not a spare) are required to avoid a game default. 

Rules:

  • Open semi-competitive league. Any player can play any position, and you can change from game to game.
  • We will be using the following Curling Canada 9 team draw for Round Robin play. 
    Coming soon!
  • Following Qualifier Night where we only need to know who won, you will mark “W” for a win, “L” for a loss, or “LD” for a loss by default on the scoresheet, along with your team’s points scored, on the scoresheet on the draw board. In the case of a default, award point per end to the winning team. In the case of a tie, award an additional point for the draw-to-the-button winner. If your score is not marked and you win, you will get one point more than the losing team. If you lose and didn’t mark, you will receive zero points. Note that scores are used only if head to head results cannot definitively break a tie (see below).Sample Scoresheet:
  • To break ties at the end of the round between teams with the same record, the tied teams are ranked by applying the following rules in order until one tie is broken. If one or more ties remain, the rules are applied to each tie starting from rule 1. The process continues until all ties are broken and all teams are ranked.
    1. The teams are ranked using their head-to-head record against the other teams in the tie. A Loss will beat a Loss by Default.
    2. The teams are then ranked using the point differential for their games in the round against the other teams in the tie.
    3. The teams are then ranked using the point differential for all the games in the round against all teams.
    4. The teams are then ranked using their initial ranking in the round.
  • Ties: Decided by a draw to the button, with sweeping permitted (by your team only – the other team cannot sweep your rock behind the T line or anywhere else).
  • Avoiding defaults/using spares: At least one regular team member (and three players in total) must be present for the game to count, or else a default is posted.  Spares should not play a higher position than the player replaced.
  • Storms: Any games cancelled due to storms, etc. will usually (drawmaster’s decision) not be played, unless it is the last week of the draw. All subsequent weeks will remain where they were, Any changes to this will be posted on CornwallCurling.com.
  • Teams may reschedule games to a different date and /or time by mutual consent. but ice time is hard to find!
  • The buzzer will be used to ensure the teams are off the ice within the 2-hour time period.  If the buzzer sounds, teams will complete the current end in play to finish the game. If tied, the standard draw to the button will then take place.
