Following Qualifier Night, the A and B pools have been determined for the first round of the Wednesday evening Ladder League, sponsored by Lowther’s Snow Removal (A Pool) and Sam’s Cornwall Restaurant (B Pool). I put the teams in random order within each pool for the first round.
A Pool teams
- A1-Rachel MacLean
- A2-Paul Neima
- A3-Emily Sanderson
- A4-Bill Hope
- A5-Greg Robertson
- A6-Ray Biagé
- A7-Kelly Watts
B Pool teams
- B1-Kim Nicholson
- B2-Greg Groves
- B3-Peter Joostema
- B4-Rob Gallant
- B5-Gord Peters
- B6-David Younker
- B7-Josh McInnis
As we have an odd number of teams (7) in each pool, we will have a crossover game each week against a team from the other pool, which will always be scheduled at 6:30 pm. It is very important that you pay attention to this, as your pool may have the 8:30 draw on a particular week, but you may be in the crossover game at 6:30 (and you don’t want to miss it!).
The “A” pool (plus the crossover game) gets the early draw the first week, as they had the late draw for the last week last season.
We will be using all four sheets and an 8 team, 4 sheet draw from Curling Canada (http://17962-presscdn-0-57.pagely.netdna-cdn.com/wp-content/uploads/2014/05/Round-robin-draws-5-8.pdf) eliminating the game against “Team 8” at 8:30 (there will be one sheet available for rentals and practices), and pitting the team in the early draw that was to play “Team 8” against the late draw team of the same number.
