Round 2 of the Wednesday Evening Ladder League wrapped up on March 5, and again featured lots of close games between evenly-matched teams. There was one night (Jan. 29) with weather that kept some teams at home. As there are only three weeks left in the season, and we want to give all teams as much play as possible, we will declare winners based on the current standings, as factoring in the missing games would not affect which teams move up or down. All teams will either play in all of the last three weeks, or have a bye in one of the weeks.

Looking at the “A” pool, the Joe Callaghan and Cody Whynot squads both finished with 6 wins and both played the weather-affected week, while the next teams had only 4 wins, and therefore wouldn’t win the round, even if the week they missed was factored in. Whynot beat Callaghan 6-2 in their round-robin encounter to win the round.

Moving back down the ladder to the “B” pool will be the Greg Groves rink with 2 wins, along with the Hank Kamphuis foursome with 1 win and a not-played for the weather-affected night. The Mark MacDonald team had the bye on that night and finished with 3 wins, and will be the third rink to descend the ladder to the B pool.

In the “B” Pool, the Doug Callin team had six wins, while the Christopher Griffin team had six or seven (score sheet not clear on this, and their opponent didn’t mark theirs). Both teams will be moving up to the “A” pool for the abbreviated final round. As Callin beat Griffin in their round robin play, but Griffin didn’t play on the “weather” night, we’ll declare them tied for “B” pool champs for Round Two, and they’ll both be moving up to the “A” Pool.

Also in “B”, the Jenine Bodner squad had five or six wins (neither they nor their opponent marked the score for the last week) and the Veronica Pater squad reeled off five victories, but didn’t play on the weather-affected evening (against Team Griffin). Since Bodner beat Pater in their game, we’ll award the remaining spot in the “A” pool to Team Bodner.

Here are the pools for the 3-week final round:

Here is the draw and schedule for Round Three:
