PEI Masters (age 60+) Curling Chships start Friday in Crapaud

The 2019 PEI Masters Curling Championships, with male and female events for curlers age 60 and over, take place from January 25-28 at the Crapaud Community Curling Club, with five men’s and two women’s rinks taking part. Live results will be available at PEICurling.com.

Men’s

The Ted MacFadyen rink from the Silver Fox in Summerside were the men’s winners the last two years, but Ted is not back this year, although the other three members of the team are, with Lou Nowlan moving up to skip, and Leo Stewart joining the team at third stone. Second Earle Proude and lead Alan Montgomery are back, with Rod MacDonald joining the team as Alternate. Other entries include last year’s finalist Bill Hope rink from Cornwall and the Silver Fox, the Paul Arsenault foursome from Cornwall, and teams skipped by Blair Jay from the Fox, and Clair Sweet from the Maple Leaf club in O’Leary. Hope’s team has two new members this year this year, with Dario Zannier and Don Vickerson replacing Craig Mackie and David Murphy.

The five-team men’s division will play a modified triple knockout format, qualifying section winners for a two-game championship round. Section winners also drop down to compete in the next section. If a team wins all three sections, they will win the event with no championship round being played. If a team wins two sections, they will win the event if they win either championship round game, while their opponent would have to win both.

Women’s

There are two women’s entries again this year, with the Sandy Hope team from the Cornwall Curling Club looking for their third title in a row. They will again play a Best of Five series against their clubmates the Shirley Berry rink. Hope is back with last year’s team intact, while Gloria Turner will replace Marlene Proude on the Berry rink.

Next Steps

The winning and finalist men’s teams and both women’s rinks earn the right to compete in the Maritime Masters, at the Riverside Country Club March 15-17, in Rothesay NB, while the men’s and women’s winning teams, or finalist teams if they are unable to attend, also earn the right to compete  in the 2019 College Clean Restoration Canadian Masters Curling Championships, April 1-7 at the Nutana Curling Club in Saskatoon SK.

Explanation for 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 have game number with yellow background on the schedule

Draw 

Men’s: Modified Triple Knockout with 2 game ch’ship round, if needed.
Women’s: Best of 5
