Opening draw goes at 2 pm as the 2021 PEI Under 18 Curling Championships and the provincial curling championship season get underway at the Montague Curling Club (power outages have not affected the club). Last year’s winners were the Brayden Snow and Katie Shaw teams. Snow is back this year. Due to COVID-19 restrictions, spectators are not permitted at the event, but some teams, including the Snow rink (Team Snow Curling) and the Mitchell Schut team (Team Schut) are planning to live-stream their games on their Facebook pages. Live-scoring will be updated after each end of play at https://peicurling.com/scoreboard/#!/competitions/6755
Both the boy’s and girl’s championships are modified triple knockout draws, with the winners from each of the three triple knockout sections of each event advancing to their respective two-game championship round on Sunday. With the modified format, section winners drop down to compete in the next section. If a team wins all three sections, they will win the event without a championship round. A double section winner will have a “double life” in the championship round, winning the event if they take either game, while their opponent would have to win both.

Explanation for Championship Round Games (BA/GA and BB/GB):
1. If one team wins all three qualifiers: Championship Round is not required.
2. If one team wins two qualifiers: they play in both BA/GA and BB/GB (and win the event if they win either game), while the other winner plays in BA/GA (and has to win to advance to BB/GB).
3. If there are three separate winners: the team that played in the most qualifying games* plays in BB/GB and the other winners play off in BA/GA If there is a tie in number of qualifying games played, then the team that qualified earliest goes to BB/GB and the other two teams play off in BA/GA.
*Qualifying games have game number/letter highlighted in yellow on the schedule
