The PEI Scotties Tournament of Hearts Provincial Women’s Championship, and the Future Scotties developmental event for Junior (Under 21) women’s teams, both sponsored by Kruger Products, take place January 23-26 2015 at the Silver Fox Curling & Yacht Club in Summerside. The Kim Dolan rink from Charlottetown are last year’s PEI Scotties champs.
Four Scotties and an equal number of Future Scotties teams are in the event. Teams are seeded in the Scotties based on results at designated events this season.
The Scotties teams will play a modified triple knockout format, beginning at 2 pm on Friday January 23, advancing section winners a two game championship round on Monday, January 26 at 1 and 6 PM. With the modified format, teams who win one of the triple knockout sections also drop down to compete in lower sections. In the event that a team wins all three sections, they will be declared the Scotties champs, and the Tuesday games will not be played. If a team wins any two sections, they will have a “double life” in the Tuesday championship round, and take the championship if they win either, while their opponent must win both. If there are three separate winners, the team who played in the most qualifying games has a bye to the second game. If tied in games played, the team who qualified earliest will get the bye.
The Future Scotties is a developmental event for junior curlers who may one day compete in the Scotties, and takes place on the same weekend and at the same location. Competitors from the Pepsi Junior Women’s Championship are invited to attend. Future event participants will be paired up with an adult team, invited to the banquet and the opening ceremonies, and will play a three game round robin competition on Saturday and Sunday during the event.
Live Curlcast results will be available at curlatlantic.com/scoreboard (there are separate results sites for the Scotties, and the Future Scotties).
