The PEI Junior Mixed Curling Championships, for mixed teams age 20 and under, gets underway Friday at 3 pm at the Cornwall Curling Club, with eight teams entered in the age 20 and under division. The 15 and Under division will not be held this year, due to insufficient entries.
The teams are divided into two pools, and will play a round robin, with a “modified Page” playoff where the top teams from each pool will square off in the Page 1 vs 1 game, and the second place rinks will play in the Page 2 vs 2 game. The winner of the 1 vs 1 will advance directly to the final, while the loser will play the winner of the 2 vs 2 in the semi-final, with that winner moving on to the championship game.
