Hello, curlers!
Finally, The Industrial League Closing Spiel is back!
The final regular-season standings will be posted on the League’s website following Monday’s rescheduled game between USB 4.0 and 84 Station. The outcome of this game is not affecting team rankings for the bonspiel; therefore, the setup of the bonspiel Round Robin is in place.
The first two draws of the bonspiel will take place this Friday evening (5:30 and 9:00 pm). See the attached Round Robin sheet to find which Pool (A, B, C, or D) your team is in. Once you have your bonspiel team number (A2, B4, D1 etc.), the schedule will show you your 3 Round Robin game match-ups, game times, and sheet assignments.
Tied games after Round Robin regulation play remain as ties. After the Round Robin, rankings will be determined based on points (Win 2 points; Tie 1 point), then head-to-head results, then highest Hot Shots scores if needed to break a tie.
All teams play Sunday in the first round of the playoffs at 9:00, or 11:30 am. The bonspiel playoff schedule is shown on the Playoff Brackets sheet.
This year, we’re featuring two special events during the spiel, the traditional KPMG Hot Shots and the Cast Construction Draw to the Tee Challenge. The First Round of the Hot Shots will go immediately following your game on Friday evening. Your Draw to the Tee competition will follow your first game on Saturday. Rules for each are attached in the email.
Don Deslongchamp will call the Calcutta Auction Friday evening, between the 5:30 and 9:00 draws, at approximately 8 pm. Be on hand to purchase your favourite team pairings for your chance at the cash payouts.
Here’s a bit of homework for Team Skips:
After consulting with your teammates, are you in favour of the League collecting an amount of money at registration time (in the $80.00 to $100.00 range per team) that would go towards the 50/50 draws for the entire regular season, instead of the League selling 50/50 tickets each week?
You would have reached an email with more information. Please reply to this email with a Yes or No, and include your team’s name with your answer.
