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.
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.
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.
The Qualifier Night draw will be ready soon — we are figuring out the best way to qualify all 18 teams. Update: 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 in the “B”. Both these teams will have byes on Qualifier night (and we will make sure they do NOT have byes the first week of Round One).
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.
