Draw set for Pepsi Provincial Junior (U21) Ch’ships at Montague

pepsilogo2015

The PEI Pepsi Provincial Juniors Curling Championships, with male and female divisions for curlers under age 21, takes place at the Montague Curling Rink from Dec. 27-30 2016, with 5 junior men’s and 5 junior women’s teams, with members from five of the Island’s seven dedicated curling facilities entered. There will be new champions this year, as last year’s winning skips, Katie Fullerton and Matthew MacLean, are aged out of the event. This year’s winners advance to the 2017 Canadian Junior (Under 21) Men’s and Women’s Curling Championships,  Jan. 21-29 at the Archie Browning Sports Centre in Esquimalt (a suburb of Victoria) BC, using the facility’s hockey arena and six-sheet curling rink to decide which teams will represent Canada at the 2017 World Junior Curling Championships in Pyeongchang, South Korea.

The junior men’s and junior women’s divisions will each play a modified triple knockout draw, where teams who win a section also drop down to compete in the next section. Section winners advance to a two-game championship round, unless a team wins all three sections, in which case they will immediately be declared the champion. A team who wins two of the three sections would play in both championship round games and win the event if they win either game, while the other section winner would have to win both games. Games are ten ends.

Live end-by-end results will be available at: peicurling.com/scoreboard/#!/competitions/2185 and on the main page of PEICurling.com.

Explanation for WA/WB & MA/MB:

1. One team wins all three qualifiers: Championship Round is not required.

2. One team wins two qualifiers. They play in both X and Z (and win the event if they win either game), the other winner plays in Y (and has to win both games).

3. Three separate winners: the team that played in the most qualifying games* plays in Z and the other winners play off in X and Y. If there is a tie in number of qualifying games played, then the team that qualified earliest goes to Z and the other two teams play off in X and Y.

*Qualifying games are in yellow on the schedule
