Feb. 8-The Rod MacDonald rink edged out the Robert Campbell foursome by a 5-4 score in this evening's final to repeat as the Labatt Tankard Provincial Men's Curling champions. MacDonald, with third Kevin Champion, second Andrew Robinson, and lead Mark O'Rourke, went 5-0 in the round robin to advance directly to the final.

Eight-time Tankard champ Campbell, playing with third Steve Burgess, second Jamie Newson, and lead Rob Doherty, finished round robin play with a 3-2 win-loss record, and had to win a tiebreaker, 8-3 over last year's runner-up John Likely, followed by the semi-final, 9-6 over Eddie MacKenzie, to advance to the low-scoring final, which was tied at 2-all at the half. A deuce in the seventh end gave MacDonald the extra point needed for the win.
The MacDonald rink will now advance to the Tim Hortons Brier, March 6-14 at the Halifax Metro Centre.
Twelve teams took part in the triple-knockout Labatt Tankard Open Playdowns, with six rinks, five from the Charlottetown Curling Club, and the Tom Fetterly rink from the Silver Fox Curling and Yacht Club, advancing to the round robin Final Six championship round.

Tiebreaking rules:
1) If two teams are tied, it's who beat whom. 2) If three teams tie- it's who beat whom, and then the points system for placement
3) If four teams tie, there will be two semi-finals. We would use the records against the four teams, plus the points system e.g. if you had two teams at 2-1 and two teams at 1-2 (these are records against the other teams in the tie),we would then use the points system to determine 1st and 2nd of the two teams at 2-1 and also 3rd and 4th of the two teams at 1-2.
4) five way tie (if possible) - same as four way tie, with the team with best record and then least accumulated distance going to the finals and two semi-finals.
