Hi Everyone, 

Merry Second Winter... or is it Third Winter? Fake Spring?

Either way, hope you're staying warm... and good news, things are about to heat up at the Granite Curling Club as we head into the playoffs!

But before we get to that... 

SPRING FLING - THREE TEAMS NEEDED

I feel like a broken record, but we are REALLY hoping we can get three more teams signed up for the Spring Fling Bonspiel

This promises to be an incredible event

No experience necessary -- and you stand a really good chance at walking away with at least some prize money

$575/team

It includes your Saturday Night Dinner & Party... nightly entertainment... great prize money... and so much more! 

Please -- if you're interested -- sign up as soon as you can so we can finalize our schedule... if you aren't interested, do us a solid and share this with your social networks, at work, etc. 

We really want this to be a success. 

CWP PLAYOFFS

Let's start with the Championship Division

A new League Champion and B Division Champion will be crowned this year. 
The top four from each division have advanced to the Semi Finals and they are:
​






​



​Format for Pool A & B:
1 v 4, 2 v 3 – winners go to Final
Losers go to Consolation

NOTE:

  • In Pool A, there was a 4 way tie for 4th place between Sweeping Beauties (Auger), 50 Sheets of Gay (Gellert), The Curling Team (Hamilton) and Tight & Biting 2.0 (Neigel)
  • To break the tie, we calculated the win/loss record of those 4 teams when playing each other
  • Sweeping Beauties (Auger) and 50 Sheets of Gay (Gellert) both had 2 wins but Sweeping Beauties beat 50 Sheets of Gay in their game, so they will advance.

  • In Pool B, there was a 2 way tie for 3rd place between Dix “n” Chicks (Gallant) & The Spice Curls (Brittain)
  • They tied in their game against each other, so we couldn’t figure it out that way
  • A draw to the button will determine their placement
  • Sweepers Allowed and Any Team Member can throw
  • If no one makes the rings, a second shot will be taken
  • If no one makes the rings, a coin toss will determine who will finish 3rd and 4th. 

Prizes awarded for Pool A & B
Winner: $200 & bragging rights
Runner Up: $100
3rd Place: $80
4th Place: $40

CONSOLATION DIVISION

All other teams (teams that finished 5th and lower in each division) will play in a special consolation showdown
Teams that finished 5th and 6th will play twice
Bottom 4 in A and Bottom 4 in B will each play one game and have one bye

The winner of each game will be entered into a draw to win $40
The Playoff Schedule is attached (I've also copied it into this email)

NEWS AND NOTES

  •  A reminder the AGM and Awards will be held at the end of curling on March 25th 
  • Elections will be held at the AGM. There will be some openings, so if you're interested in joining the board, please consider putting your name forward
  • Everyone will get one free drink ticket for the AGM
  • Since we're already used to curling on Tuesday's, how about joining us on Tuesday, April 1st (No Joke!) to help decorate and set things up for the Canadian Pride Curling Championships
  • Another reminder to please sign up for Spring Fling Bonspiel, if you haven't already, or at least help promote it so we can fill our three remaining spots
