Team White wins PEI Mixed Doubles Curling Ch’ship final over Newson/Ellis duo

The Jenny and Edward White couple from the host Silver Fox Curling Club has won the 17-team PEI Mixed Doubles Curling Championship, defeating clubmates Jamie Newson and Miranda Ellis Monday afternoon by an 8-3 score in seven ends in a winner-take-all final game.

Team White won both the A and B sections of the Modified Triple Knockout draw, but did not advance to the Monday morning C final, which was won by Newson/Ellis, who then would have had to beat the White duo twice in the Championship round.

In the first Ch’ship round game, Newson/Ellis fought back from a 5-1 deficit after four ends, to tie the game 9-all after 8 ends of play and force an extra end, where they stole a single to win 10-9 and bring the championship to a 4 pm sudden-death match. That game was tied 3-3 after five ends, but a four-point sixth end plus a 7th end steal by Team White put the game out of reach for Newson/Ellis, who shook hands after the seventh end, trailing 8-3.

The winning White duo will now advance to the 2020 Canad Inns Canadian Mixed Doubles Curling Championship, March 17-22 at Stride Place in Portage La Prairie Manitoba.

Explanation for Championship Round (Games A and B):

1. If one team wins all three qualifying games*: Championship Round is not required.

2. If one team wins two qualifying games*:
They play in both A and B (and win the event if they win either game).
The other section winner plays in A and has to win to advance to B.

3. If there are three separate winners: the team that played in the most qualifying games* advances to B, and the other winners play off in A.
If there is a tie in the number of qualifying games* played, then the team that qualified earliest goes to B and the other two teams play off in A.

*Qualifying games are in yellow on the schedule
